South Africa has the perfect blend of ingredients to provide the ideal backdrop for any event: luxury, adventure, wildlife, magnificent scenery, an efficient infrastructure, renowned hospitality, rich cultural diversity and investment opportunities. It offers attractions galore to editors, publishers and anyone interested in news and information. A limited number of countries in the world can match the fun, beauty and excitement you'll find in South Africa.

We have, as a country, already demonstrated an outstanding track record such as hosting the Commonwealth Heads of Government Conference; the Non-Aligned Movement Summit; International Aids Conference; the World Conference on Racism; various medical congresses; the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002; and were successful in winning the bid to host the 2010 World Soccer Cup.

The 60th World Newspaper Congress, 14th World Editors Forum and Info Services Exhibition will proudly be hosted in the mother city - Cape Town. Here, two great oceans meet at the southern tip of Africa where warm weather lasts most of the year and wildlife roams just beyond the city lights.

Cape Town has so much to offer as a tourist destination. It is blessed to have South Africa's top six tourist attractions within one hour's drive from the city centre. Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and, with the majestic Table Mountain as a backdrop, is a charming and convenient setting for a congress.

We look forward to welcoming you to Cape Town, South Africa, to share and experience our beautiful country and its diverse cultures.
