With just one week to go before the Tshwane Tourism Showcase 2026, excitement is building across the city’s tourism and business sectors. Taking place on Friday, 23 January 2026, at the CSIR International Convention Centre, this flagship event is set to once again bring Tshwane’s industry together under one roof — and this year carries special significance.

As part of the Tshwane Tourism Association’s 25-year anniversary, the 2026 Showcase reflects not only how far the industry has come, but where it is heading next. Over the past two decades, the Showcase has become a trusted platform for meaningful engagement, business development and collaboration — and 2026 promises to be the most dynamic edition yet.

The event attracts a diverse and influential audience, including tourism operators, corporate buyers, procurement officers, government stakeholders, universities, training institutions and industry partners. With around 70 exhibitors, attendees gain direct access to a wide range of services and solutions that support business travel, leisure tourism, events and destination development.

What sets the Tshwane Tourism Showcase apart is its focus on quality engagement rather than volume. Conversations are intentional. Connections are relevant. Relationships are built with the long term in mind. For exhibitors, it is an opportunity to showcase credibility, innovation and readiness for business. For visitors, it offers clarity, inspiration and trusted introductions at the start of the year.

The timing of the event is strategic. Hosted in January, it allows businesses to align early, explore partnerships and set plans in motion before the year accelerates. Many attendees leave the Showcase with confirmed leads, new suppliers and fresh ideas that shape their year ahead.

As final preparations are underway, bookings are filling quickly, and interested participants are encouraged to secure their places without delay. Whether attending to exhibit, network or explore opportunities, the Tshwane Tourism Showcase is where conversations begin — and momentum is built.
