TBCSA-LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE 2026

LEARNING, CONNECTING AND GROWING TOGETHER

What a week it was at the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA) Leadership Conference, held at Sun City, North West!

GaTOA was fairly represented, with five paid-up members in attendance, demonstrating our commitment to participating in important industry conversations and staying abreast of developments shaping the future of tourism.

Our delegation comprised:

1. Victor Sibeko – GaTOA Chairperson

2. Mr. Peterson Mahlangu – Deputy Chairperson

3. Ms. Itumeleng Seleke – Assistant Secretary

4. Mr. Tebello Mothapo – Membership & Recruitment

5. Ms. Kidibone Lidovho – Member in Good Standing

It was an enriching and thought-provoking experience, filled with valuable insights, meaningful engagements and opportunities to reflect on the future of our tourism industry.

As GaTOA, we must recognise that our growth as an Association and as individual businesses depends on our willingness to engage, learn, build strategic relationships and turn information into opportunities.

Information is power, but its true value lies in how we use it to transform our businesses and the communities we serve. We cannot afford to remain spectators in an industry that demands active participation, collaboration and innovation.

A detailed article summarising the key deliberations, insights and their relevance to our members will be shared in due course.

Let us remain committed to building a stronger, more connected and sustainable tourism sector, where Gauteng’s tour operators are not merely participants, but active contributors to shaping the industry’s future.

Together, let us make GaTOA the Association of Choice for Tour Operators in Gauteng!

Kind regards,

Victor Sibeko

Chairperson | GaTOA
