Gauteng Tourism champions SMEs at Sustainable Hospitality Expo
Gauteng Tourism Authority (GTA) is stepping up to support local small businesses at the inaugural Sustainable Hospitality Expo, taking place 18–20 September 2025 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.
August 13, 2025
Launched as part of the Organic & Natural Products Expo Africa, this exciting new event will connect Africa’s vibrant hospitality industry with suppliers of sustainable products, services, and solutions — all in response to the growing demand for eco-conscious tourism.
“We are thrilled to support this groundbreaking initiative that aligns perfectly with our vision of positioning Gauteng as a leading sustainable tourism destination,” says Nonnie Kubeka, Executive Director of the Gauteng Convention & Event Bureau, Gauteng Tourism Authority.
“By integrating SMEs into the value chain, we’re not only fostering innovation in our hospitality sector, but also demonstrating our commitment to creating economic opportunities that benefit both our environment and our communities.”
