Table Mountain’s famous cableway service is operated by a team of dedicated and enthusiastic men and women who make sure your visit to the mountain is enjoyable and something you will remember for many years to come. It is their hard work and commitment that is being recognised by the World Travel Awards nomination.
“A win for Table Mountain at the World Travel Awards is a win for everyone in Cape Town and the Western Cape. If you think about those iconic Cape Town photos you immediately see the mountain and the Cableway. The World Travel Awards is a chance to remind people from all over the world of why they should come to explore and enjoy the Mother City,” says TMACC Executive Director Selma Hercules.
Contests such as the World Travel Awards offer tourism operators an invaluable opportunity to benchmark themselves against the best of the best, she adds. Table Mountain is nominated as “Africa’s Leading Tourist Attraction” in this year’s competition.
“Our strength at Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is our people. It is their smiling faces and their warm welcome that make visitors fall in love with the mountain and we asked them for their messages on why people should vote for Table Mountain at the WTA,” says Hercules.
Andiswa Sontondu works as a Cashier at the Cableway. “I have worked at the Cableway for 5 years and it is such a thrill to see all our trophies on display. It shows that our team is doing something right and I hope we can add this year’s WTA trophy to that display.”
Antonio Fortune is a multiskilled steward and has been working at the TMACC since 2015.
“I think of the World Travel Awards as our industry’s Grammys. As someone who welcomes visitors at Table Mountain every day it is much more than just being Africa’s Leading Tourist Attraction. If we can win this trophy again it means we are at the pinnacle of the tourism industry. We all want this.”
