Overstrand Tourism is proudly promoting the area at Africa’s Travel Indaba 2025, inspired by the theme of 'Unlimited Africa'.
This well known three-day travel show brings together tourism leaders from across the continent to connect, share ideas, and grow travel across Africa. It focuses on building new relationships and strengthening existing ones to boost visitor numbers.
At the Overstrand stand, several local tourism businesses are on display, along with the iconic Hermanus Whale Crier, adding a special touch to the showcase.
Overstrand Tourism and participating local businesses are using this platform to shine a light on the region’s rich cultural heritage and diverse tourism offerings, reminding the world why it remains a top choice for travellers.
This year’s Indaba brings together around 1 000 top travel buyers, 1 300 exhibitors, and 400 small businesses from 27 African countries - making it one of the continent’s largest tourism events.
