WHY CHOOSE THE OUTDOOR EXPO?

This three day Expo will once again bring a full range of experiences to the visitor – from Travel and Destinations to Outdoor Products and Accessories.
We have also included a new section called Go Eco – the purpose of this area is to educate and enlighten visitors about the effect we have on the environment and to showcase Wildlife and Conservation, and eco-friendly products and services. This year we have added some very exciting components, to ensure we keep being creative, offering our exhibitors and visitors an Experience and not just a static show – says Managing Director, Shirley Shearer.
The focus of the Outdoor Adventure and Travel Expos has always been the outdoors and outdoor accessories, adventure activities, travel destinations and products. This year we have added a new section called Go Eco – the purpose of this area is to educate and enlighten visitors about the effect we have on the environment and to showcase eco-friendly products and services. We have had firm support over the years from some of the biggest companies and government organisations in the country and continue to enjoy their loyalty – their commitment shows that we have a winning formula and are leaders in the industry.
Visitors can find everything from caravans, tents, gadgets and trailers to beautiful local destinations, exotic international tours and the most exciting adventure products and activities available in Southern Africa. We host about 160 companies at each show who offer countless numbers of products and services for the discerning travel enthusiast. The show is over a three day period (Friday to Sunday).
The success of the show is due to a dedicated, professional team who believe what they do and have a passion for organising events of the highest standard. We are 100% BEE compliant and have been for many years. In addition to this, we have a strong corporate social involvement strategy linking non-profit organisations such as The South African Guide Dogs Association and the SPCA with a platform allowing said organisations to raise funds for their projects at no cost to them.
