Wesgro Leisure Tourism Event Partnership Applications Now Open!

Calling all event organisers in the Western Cape! Applications for Wesgro Leisure Tourism Event Partnerships are now open from 1 - 29 February 2024. This year we will again be running an online application process, and only applications received via our online platform will be considered. If you have additional inquiries, contact us at eventsdmo@wesgro.co.za 

Event partnerships allow Wesgro’s tourism team to collaborate with various niche and smaller leisure events around the province, creating an opportunity to promote the broader Western Cape tourism destination offering, and the variety of tourism experiences for young and old. Events are a catalyst for economic impact and job creation and can put smaller towns and dorpies on the tourism map, combating seasonality whilst creating a sustainable events pipeline. Together we can position the Western Cape as a world class events destination.

• Gastronomy (Food and Wine)
