Pretoria - The third annual Mpumalanga Tourism Expo, hosted by Jakada Holdings (Pty) Ltd in partnership with the Mpumalanga Tourism & Parks Agency, will take place at the Riverside Mall from from September 29 to October 1, 2023.

The aim of the expo is to promote domestic tourism in South Africa and the Mpumalanga province. Furthermore, the tourism expo is a vehicle for regional tourism integration in the spirit of the Triland agreement signed between Mpumalanga, the Kingdom of Eswatini and Mozambique.

“The third annual Mpumalanga Tourism Expo is geared to provide a platform to 44 tourism products to showcase their tourism products and services to the domestic and regional markets,” said Xolani Mthethwa, founder and chief executive officer of Jakada Holdings.

“This year, we want to increase the number of exhibitors to include some of the provinces in South Africa. Twelve hosted buyers from Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mozambique and the Kingdom of Eswatini will be invited to attend the expo to interact with the exhibitors to learn about the tourism products on offer in the province.”

“Furthermore, the expo will assist us to implement the Triland agreement that was signed recently through the invitation of the tour operators from Mozambique and the Kingdom of Eswatini to come and exhibit in this event.”

Fabulous holiday prizes are up for grabs by the shoppers who visit a minimum of three stalls and enter a competition at the tourism expo. We would like to thank our sponsors and partners for making this event possible.
