Table Mountain and the Cableway are once again in the spotlight as they compete for top honours at the 2025 World Travel Awards (WTA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These world-famous attractions are nominees in their categories, but bringing the prestigious titles home depends on public votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC) has been nominated in the World\u2019s Leading Cable Car Ride category, while Table Mountain has been nominated as World\u2019s Leading Tourist Attraction.
These are the only South African nominees in the world categories this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMACC boasts an impressive track record at the World Travel Awards, having secured the title of Africa\u2019s Leading Tourist Attraction five times, in 2014, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now celebrating its 96th year of operation, the cableway remains a cornerstone of South Africa\u2019s tourism industry, having safely carried more than 32 million visitors to the top of one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature since opening on 4 October 1929.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attraction continues to play a pivotal role in positioning Cape Town and South Africa as leading global destinations, contributing significantly to the visitor economy while promoting sustainable tourism and local employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wahida Parker, Managing Director of TMACC, said being recognised again at the World Travel Awards is an \u201cincredible honour\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis competition is our industry\u2019s version of the Oscars and is widely respected as a contest that recognises commitment to excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the nominations reaffirm their commitment to being a responsible operator that prioritises safety, honours the mountain\u2019s unique flora and fauna, and delivers world-class service to both local and international visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parker encouraged South Africans to get behind the Cableway and Table Mountain by casting their WTA votes in the two respective categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery visitor, every team member and every partner has played a role in this success. We\u2019re calling on South Africans to help us bring these awards home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMACC has consistently earned nominations for World\u2019s Leading Tourist Attraction and World\u2019s Leading Cable Car Ride, reflecting its commitment to creating positive experiences and driving innovation on the international stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parker said the company was proud to fly the South African flag and hoped to make the country proud again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese nominations reflect our journey, from the very first trip in October 1929 to the millions who continue to make memories atop Table Mountain. We have never won in the world categories before, and it would be incredibly special if we could make it happen this time around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of the tourism and hospitality sector can also cast their votes, and they are given double the weighting to votes cast by members of the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voting for the 2025 World Travel Awards closes on Sunday 26 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
