The Hospitality Industry Think Tank is an annual event spearheaded by Dream Hotels & Resorts and supported by leading industry players. It is an opportunity for members of the industry to discuss the most pressing issues affecting hospitality and tourism and to develop new solutions and innovations to move these sectors forward. The purpose is to bring all members of the industry together to learn from each other and grow the country’s entire tourism ecosystem.
The day’s events always conclude with a gala dinner, where Touching Dreams raises funds for the Reach for a Dream Foundation, Langkloof Orphanage Programme and Endangered Wildlife Trust.
Previous events have been held in collaboration with Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Sun International, Valor, Beekman Group, Club Mykonos, Sondela, TBCSA, Infrateq, Profit Room, HTI and Heineken, and in association with SATSA, TBCSA, FEDHASA and VOASA.
