The town of Franschhoek has made Time Magazine’s prestigious list of ‘World’s Greatest Places’ for 2022.
This collection includes 50 destinations from around the world that Time’s correspondents and contributors nominated for exploring because of the destination’s offer of “new and exciting experiences.”
The Provincial MEC of Finance and Economic Opportunities, Mireille Wenger says this is excellent news, which once again puts a Western Cape destination on the world-map.
Just in this past week, we have learnt how our visitor numbers from key source markets are recovering to pre-pandemic levels, and that two Western Cape restaurants are in the global top 100 list. Together, this reminds us that there is still so much on offer in our beautiful province, with its diversity of experiences being amongst the best in the world. I encourage South Africans, in particular, to get out and see the beauty our province has to offer.
CEO of Franschhoek Tourism, Ruth McCourt says they are immensely proud that the valley that has been recognized as one of the “greatest places” in the world to visit.
We continue to strive for and celebrate the diversity of our unique village that attracts both local and international visitors. And indeed, puts the whole of South Africa on the world tourism stage.
