This Community Outreach initiative was the brainchild of the Table Mountain Aerial Cable Way Company’s new MD, Wahida Parker.
Cape Town Pass CEO and co-founder, Marnus van Niekerk said “The purpose of the Cape Town Pass is to encourage inclusive growth so that these facilities are available to locals as well as international tourists. Growth in the tourism industry is only possible if locals and visitors are able to access the same facilities at similar costs.”
He also said that “ For many people convenience, ease of access and preferential and priority access is more important than price since most visitors have a limited time and do not want to waste time in queues or searching for things to do. And with the Cape Town Pass you can book and access all your favourite activities and destinations on one platform, one card, one Cape Town Pass.”
Bernadette Schouw, one of the winners from the 567 Cape Talk competition said it was a fantastic chance to see these attractions and to be at these places at the same time as all the international visitors. Valerie Koopman also commented on the trip and the fun that she had accompanying the other winners.” The next stop with my Cape Town Pass is Robben Island and I cannot wait to do so”.
Cape Town Pass intends to host locals at least every quarter and to show Capetonians that they too can enjoy Cape Town and the Western Cape in the same convenient and affordable manner as so many visitors do.
Cape Town Pass is also the official delegate pass for conferencing in the Western Cape and is endorsed by WESGRO, the official Destination Marketing, Investment and Trade Promotion Agency for the Western Cape, located in Cape Town.
Cape Town Pass co-founder, Anton Groenewald said that the primary intention behind Cape Town Pass is to provide a quicker easier cost effective pass to both locals and international visitors. Tourism is everyone’s business, only if everyone can get access and can afford the access. Locals legitimise attractions and activities and seasoned travellers want to go where the locals go, to enjoy a truly authentic experience.
