While the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) is still relatively young as far as international convention centres go, it has made a signfigant economic, social and environmental impact in the eight years since it first opened its doors.
The vision of the centre was first conceived in the late 1990s when it was recognised that a truly international convention centre would fill an obvious gap in the city of Cape Town’s tourism infrastructure, and have the potential to deliver a phenomenal impact on the local, provincial and national economy. As a result, the CTICC was born, with the City of Cape Town and the Provincial Government of the Western Cape as its largest shareholders - effectively putting ownership of the centre in the hands of the people of the city.
By June 2003, it had achieved this vision, and the focus of the holding company shifted to overseeing the management of the centre, driving its continued development, and enhancing the contribution it makes to the growth of business tourism in the Western Cape.
The CTICC has continued to raise the profile of Cape Town as a sought after international leisure and business tourism destination. It has also maintained and grown the economic and social contributions it makes to the city of Cape Town, the Western Cape Province, and the country as a whole.
