THE OTHER SIDE OF MAJOR EVENTS Balance opportunities with negative perceptions Perception that there will be: price increases over-crowding displacement 18
MANAGING PERCEPTIONS & EXPECTATIONS Hosting major events can stall tourism growth 19
MANAGING PERCEPTIONS & EXPECTATIONS Need to manage realistic expectations Integrated planning with provision for interventions Get industry & citizens on board & communicate Maintain position as value for money destination Ensure pricing not exceed peak season pricing Use event to counteract seasonality and attract interest from non-traditional markets 20
CONCLUSION Cape Town is Africa’s greatest City and ready to welcome the World. 21
