Cruise Cape Town, a catalytic project powered by Wesgro, continues to showcase the powerful impact of strategic collaboration – marking its longest and most successful cruise season to date.
The 2024/25 season, which concluded with the departure of the Crown Princess, has been nothing short of impressive, with 83 ship calls, 11 inaugural visits, and a record-breaking 22 ship visits in March alone.
The 2023/24 season generated R1.32 billion for the regional economy and supported 2,000 jobs, underscoring the major economic impact of cruise tourism and its growing importance to the Western Cape.
An economic impact assessment of the 2024/25 season will now be undertaken, and we look forward to sharing insights when completed.
