“This recognition is a proud moment, not only for Visit Stellenbosch but for our entire destination,” said Annemie Liebenberg, CEO of Visit Stellenbosch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It affirms our belief that the future of destination marketing lies in authentic and emotionally resonant storytelling. Stellenbosch cannot be defined by a single experience. It is a destination of remarkable depth, where culture, creativity, gastronomy, wine, nature and community come together to create something truly distinctive and globally relevant.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sentiment is echoed by Lizanne Vos, CEO of Xpotential, whose team led the creative development of the award-winning film. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our goal was to capture not only the beauty of Stellenbosch, but also its character, warmth and sense of place. This award is a testament to the value of creative excellence in destination marketing and to the collaborative partnership that made the film possible,” Vos explained.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
