Judges have voted the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre in Durban as Africa's Best Convention Centre 2021.
This comes after the Durban ICC took the coveted award for being Africa’s leading convention venue in 2020.
In a statement today, the ICC said the centre was declared South Africa’s Best Convention Centre 2021 at the World MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Exhibitions) Awards.
The World MICE Awards is a global initiative to recognise and reward excellence in the industry, and the results follow a year-long search for the world’s leading MICE brands. Votes were cast by MICE industry professionals and the public in 100 countries, with the nominee gaining the most votes in each category named as the winner.
The Durban ICC was also nominated as a finalist in the 28th World Travel Awards as Africa’s Leading Meetings & Conference Centre 2021 and was also proposed as a finalist in the World's Best Convention Centre category, competing against Dubai World Trade Centre, Expo Santa Fe Mexico, IFEMA Feria de Madrid (Spain), Las Vegas Convention Center (US) and Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center (China).
