Wahida’s three-year term on the Cape Town Tourism Board is coming to an
end and she is standing for re-election. Serving as the Vice Chairperson on
the CTT Board, Wahida has played a significant role in many of the
successes over the last few years.

However, her work and accomplishments are far from complete,
and she would love to continue on the board to ensure the
strategy that she has committed to, can be realised over the
next three years.

Wahida is currently employed as the Managing Director of the Table
Mountain Aerial Cableway Company, and has 14 years of experience as an
executive at board level. In addition, she is also an internationally
accredited mediator, with exceptional communication, negotiation
and team building skills.

Stemming from her love and passion for the industry, her proactive
nature and ever-increasing service level standard; Janice believes
that she will be able to contribute in a positive manner as a voice
on the street.

Being an active tour operator and tour guide provides her with the
opportunity to have her ear to the ground, thereby allowing her to
listen to the heartbeat of expectations and needs that arise within
the industry.

Janice believes in building close meaningful relations that
integrates all sectors of tourism, thus creating a stronger entity that
strives towards constant mobility and favourable results.

Marc left for the UK in 2003. This is where his passion for Cape Town
was realised, as being abroad showed him just how good life is back
home. It was here that the overwhelming desire to unite Cape Town
was born.

As the Co-Owner of Vannie Kaap, Marc has the space to be true to his
objectives, goals and dreams. Vannie Kaap has become the platform to
educate and celebrate the beauty of the people living in our
multifaceted city, and has been instrumental in celebrating our culture.

The brand has also created a sense of nostalgia to those outside of Cape
Town, and will play a vital role in the experience and invitation to our
amazing city.

Alison has worked across numerous tourism positions over the last
three decades, including: hotels, tourism organisations, tour operators
and tourism marketing. During this time she also represented tourism
on a number of Boards including Cape Town Routes Unlimited (2007 –
2009 HR Committee Chairperson), Overberg Tourism (Head of
Marketing) and Ward Committee for Overstrand Municipality.

She also played a role in developing many new tourism products,
including the L’Agulhas Precinct Project with Sanparks, the
Mthimkhulu Village Centre with the National Department of Tourism
and more.

Alison believes that she can add value to Cape Town due to her diverse
experience in many aspects of the tourism industry.
