Skål International Nelson Mandela Bay

Skål International Nelson Mandela Bay Founded in 1960 Skål International Nelson Mandela Bay is the trusted voice of tourism in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. WHAT IS SKÅL INTERNATIONAL?

Skål is a professional organisation of tourism leaders around the world, promoting global tourism and friendship. It is the only international group uniting all branches of the travel and tourism industry. Its members, the industry's managers and executives, meet at local, national, regional and international levels to discuss and pursue topics of common interest. The first Club was founded in 193

2 in Paris by travel managers, following an educational tour of Scandinavia. The idea of international goodwill and friendship grew and, in 1934, the “Association Internationale des Skål Clubs” was formed with Florimond Volckaert as its first President, who is considered the “Father of Skål”. Skål International today has approximately 13000 members in more than 500 Clubs throughout 90 nations. Most activities occur at local levels, moving up through National Committees, under the umbrella of Skål International, headquartered at the General Secretariat in Torremolinos, Spain. Skål International is governed by an Executive Committee of seven members, elected by delegates to an annual General Assembly, held during the World Congress, hosted by a different country each year. This allows members first-hand observation of the travel and tourism potential around the world

An Evening of Fellowship, Friendship and Tourism Connections

What a wonderful evening spent with fellow tourism professionals, industry leaders, and friends at the recent Skål Nelson Mandela Bay Dinner with National President, Andrew Rogers, hosted at the award-winning Muse Restaurant in Gqeberha.

The event provided an excellent opportunity to connect, share ideas, strengthen relationships, and celebrate the important role tourism plays in growing our destinations and communities. It was inspiring to engage with passionate tourism stakeholders who are committed to advancing our industry across South Africa.

A special thank you to Skål Nelson Mandela Bay for hosting such a memorable gathering and to the team at Muse Restaurant for their exceptional hospitality and dining experience.

Together, we continue to build stronger tourism networks and create opportunities that benefit our destinations, businesses, and visitors.

We are here to do business amongst friends — to learn, collaborate, enhance, strengthen, and grow relationships within our club, amongst members, and friends. Tuesday, 19 May, was no exception.

We gathered at the wonderful SANNCOB to connect, deliberate, and learn together. From the welcoming sherry to the homemade lasagne, everything was perfectly suited to the rainy weather and warm camaraderie.

A special thank you to our guest speaker, Graham Taylor, for his engaging and thought-provoking presentation. He reminded us why competition, collaboration, and coordination are all critical factors in driving tourism growth. Perhaps the most important question he left us with was: are we truly ready for tourism growth?

Thank you as well to everyone who contributed to our monthly lucky draw. Through your generosity, we were able to donate R500 to our local SANNCOB branch.

Join us again on Tuesday, 9 June, for our next networking function — we look forward to connecting with you!

🌍✨ SKÅL International connections, collaboration and continental tourism partnerships took centre stage during an incredible networking session hosted at the The Edward Hotel during Africa's Travel Indaba.

It was an honour for Skal International Nelson Mandela Bay to engage with fellow Skålleagues from Skal Mauritius and Skal Tanzania as we continue building stronger tourism relationships across Africa and the Indian Ocean region.

The evening also brought together representatives from Skal Pretoria, Skal Garden Route and Skal Cape Town, showcasing the strength of the SKÅL network across Southern Africa.

A highlight of the evening was hearing from Salome Clack, who shared exciting insights about the upcoming SKÅL International World Congress and the opportunities it presents for global tourism collaboration and connection.

Events like these remind us that tourism thrives through partnerships, shared experiences and meaningful connections. Together, we continue promoting sustainable tourism, friendship and business opportunities across borders.

Thank you to everyone who made the evening memorable — the conversations, energy and spirit of collaboration were truly inspiring. 🤝🌍
