About Durban Tourism Business Awards

Durban is more than a destination — it’s a living culture, a warm welcome, a coastline of stories, and a city built by entrepreneurs, creators, hosts, and experience-makers who make people want to return. The Durban Tourism Business Awards exist to recognise, celebrate, and elevate the individuals and organisations who power Durban’s visitor economy and help shape the city’s reputation as one of Africa’s most vibrant tourism hubs. These awards honour excellence across the tourism value chain — from accommodation providers and tour operators, to event promoters, rickshaw pullers, crafters, and emerging entrepreneurs. Whether you operate behind the scenes or on the front line of guest experience, the Awards spotlight those who consistently deliver quality, authenticity, and service that reflects the best of Durban.
