After a productive day at WTM Africa, the Skål Cape Town Committee had the privilege of dining with Skål International President Denise Scarfton, National President Andrew Rogers, and Onur Türkay from our Twin Club Izmir at the Canopy by Hilton Cape Town Longkloof.

A fantastic opportunity to strengthen our international network.

Skål International Cape Town President Johan van Scalkwyk visited Julia In Africa’s stand that she won at one of the Skål Cape Town events. Thanks to doing Business Amongst Friends, Skål Cape Town was able to provide the opportunity to have a stand in partnership with WTM Africa. We wish her all the best and success in continuing to build meaningful connections. #WTMAfrica2025 #DoingBusinessAmongFriends #skållegues

The day began with a proud moment at WTM Africa! National President Andrew Rogers led the way as Skal International President Denise Scrafton officially cut the ribbon to open our stand. Skål International Skål International South Africa #WTMAfrica2025 #skål

In Memory of Niel Els
It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of our dear friend and past president, Niel Els. Niel was a dedicated member of Skål International Garden Route, a passionate advocate for tourism, and a true friend to so many in our industry.
His warmth, leadership, and commitment to fostering connections within the Skål community will never be forgotten. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Niel. You will be deeply missed.

Connecting tourism globally as we do business among friends!

At the BRICS MICE Congress in Moscow, our President-elect 2025, Johan van Schalkwyk, and Cape Town committee member, Mandi Jarman, connected with India President Sanjeev Mehra.

Together, they shared ideas and strategies that will build business relationships to strengthen clubs in India and South Africa – enabling collaboration and doing business amongst friends.
