This nomination is a testament to the support of our clients, the hard work and dedication of our team, as well as our firm commitment to providing world-class experiences for all our events,” Rakharebe said.

“To be recognised by the World Travel Awards is a tremendous achievement, and winning this title again would be a dream.
