South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) has again announced its support for the Sports and Events Tourism Exchange (SETE) conference for the fourth year running.
The SETE conference and exhibition will take place at the Durban International Convention Centre from October 28-30.
SASCOC is South Africa’s national sporting body responsible for the preparation, presentation and the performance of teams at multi-coded sporting events such as the Olympic, Paralympic, Commonwealth, World, All Africa, Olympic Youth, Commonwealth Youth and Zone VI Games.
“We are delighted to be involved in the Sports and Events Tourism Exchange again,” said Tubby Reddy, Chief Executive of SASCOC. “It is of paramount importance that government, private-sector and sporting bodies come together to support the growth on our continent of sporting events. We have the infrastructure, we have the know-how and we have the will. SETE is a perfect platform in which we can debate, discuss and plan for future events.”
“SASCOC is a key partner when it comes to bidding and hosting international events. Its support demonstrates the government’s commitment to growing the sports and events tourism industry in South Africa,” said Sugen Pillay, Commercial Director of Thebe Reed Exhibitions, the event organiser.
SETE will be hosted by the KZN Department of Economic Development and Tourism, partnered by CATHSSETA, SASCOC, Tourism KZN and Durban Tourism, South African Airways, Tsogo Sun and supported by Durban KZN Convention Bureau and the exclusive broadcasting partner, SABC.
