If you are a member of an organization that holds regular conventions, consider choosing Durban as your next venue.
Whilst not only possessing tourism features in its own right, Durban is also the gateway city to the rest of KwaZulu-Natal, with a multitude of ethnic and wildlife attractions within two or three hours.
If you're bored with Acapulco, Orlando or Honolulu, suggest Durban as a venue and treat your colleagues to an African convention experience that's out of the ordinary.
Durban of course is a longer haul than either the US or Europe but you and your colleagues will be richly rewarded with a cultural experience that's unique - without sacrificing any of the standards that you would expect from your convention destination.
South Africa has a character all its own and within the country, no province more so than KwaZulu-Natal with an international class selection of attractions on the doorstep.
Alone in Africa, Durban possesses the only international standard convention centre, state of the art and capable of accommodating up to 5000 delegates in a variety of configurations.
The International Convention Centre (ICC) offers 7,000sq metres of pillar-free space, is located within yards of the Hilton Hotel and within an easy walk of both the beachfront hotels and the city centre.
The ICC is wheelchair friendly and also has a bureau de change, private suites, cafes, electronic billboard and small rooms for breakaway sessions.
Conferences that have been held in the ICC include The Non Aligned Movement meeting, the Commonwealth Heads of State and the world's foremost Aids conference.
