Join us for a panel discussion on infrastructure programmes and opportunities in South Africa and Africa. The economic fallout caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has created an opportunity for key roleplayers to stimulate the economy through infrastructure
investment. This panel discussion seeks to galvanise funders, policymakers, development finance institutions and the private sector to address fundamental challenges in rebuilding technical and financial engineering capacity in government; the development of an integrated infrastructure investment plan and project pipeline; policy and regulatory reform to accelerate investment; and to rethink public sector financing and revise the public sector infrastructure institutional framework.

Key themes
• Destination development (supply side)
• Destination South Africa (demand side)
• Collaboration between government and private sector
• Testimonial from hotel investors successfully doing business in South Africa
• Airport infrastructure and route network
• Rail and cruise infrastructure
• Tourism infrastructure investment opportunities in national parks
