experienced guides and superb
gastronomy and catering. There are
an abundance of activities for travellers
of all ages, making it especially well-suited for family
trips. Plus, our tourist infrastructure is so impeccably
developed that if you can come up with an idea for an
event or activity, someone can make it happen.”
The result of a highly effective tourism development
programme, the area also lends itself to communitybased
incentive activities. “We have a dedicated
tourism development officer and work with local
homestays, township guides, the Rastafarian village and
other community-based operators to offer true cultural
experiences. Groups can be as involved as they want
to be, but in the past corporates have even
helped to establish community gardens,” said Mr van
Eck.
The area caters for business meetings, incentives,
teambuilding sessions, special interest groups and
conferences, and will tailor make itineraries to suit the
needs of a specific group, creating inspirational ideas
for unique programmes and exclusive events.
“Knysna has an allure about it,” says Mr van Eck. “It
has personality, can offer world-class experiences and
has a great climate all year round. It works.”
