Recent announcements of new luxury tourism developments in the Addo region could strengthen Gqeberha and the broader Eastern Capes positioning as a gateway to high-end safari tourism, according to industry stakeholders.
Mantis Collection CEO Craig Erasmus referred to the growth of ultra-luxury developments in Addo as a very positive signal for the Eastern Cape.
For a long time, the province has offered exceptional natural assets but has been underrepresented in the premium safari space compared to regions like the Kruger National Park, said Erasmus.
