Umdloti is the ideal place to unwind and enjoy the sunshine, Beaches, rock pools and sea. There are a number of activities for the more energetic - the inshore reefs provide plentiful excitement for anglers, (surf, rock and ski boat) and for divers and water sport enthusiasts. Water sports include surfing, windsurfing, paddle and jet-skiing. Umdloti's primary Beaches are shark netted and protected by proficient lifeguards. Known as the Dolphin Coast because of the many pods of these engaging mammals that patrol these waters, some frolicking in the waves, some surfing the waves, others performing acrobatics for out-and-out pleasure. Umdloti’s climate is often described as a “never ending summer”. Umdloti enjoys a sub-tropical Climate influenced by the warm Mozambique current which makes it a popular all-year-round seaside resort. Daytime temperatures are in the late twenties to early thirties and winter temperatures in the mid twenties. February is regarded as the hottest Month (because of the humidity). Umdloti is predominantly a Summer rainfall Area although it can rain at any time of the year.

The Centre originally opened their doors in 2010. Since inception, the Olive Convention Centre has become a firm favourite in the Conferencing and Events arena, largely due to its location within Durban’s Golden Mile and proximity to Hotels, Beaches and all the Tourist attractions in the Area. This state-of-the-art, technologically advanced Business and Conference Centre is noted for its amazing acoustics and smart lighting systems and has hosted the likes of Internationally acclaimed motivational speaker Robin Sharma, the X-Factor South Africa auditions and Live shows, and a large contingent of Corporate and Government events.
In conclusion these factors have all come about through the Years through the richness of diversity, found in our Country!

With over 17 years of service excellence and crafting extraordinary experiences, the CTICC has built an enviable reputation as a premier Business Tourism venue in South Africa and the World. The Cape Town International Convention Centre Company (Convenco), the holding company of the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) was formed in 1999 through collaboration between the City of Cape Town, the Provincial Government of the Western Cape and the Business sector.

The primary objective behind the formation of the holding company was to deliver a World-class International Convention Centre in Cape Town that would provide meeting, convention and exhibition services and facilities for Local and International Organisations and their guests.

The project is substantial in its design. It required, amongst other skills, an artful bridging, in a figurative sense, between the spatial requirements of functions attended by thousands, and those of smaller events attended by only a few. It is thus a matter of size and human scale: the need for large functional spaces, yet also for warmth and intimacy; for a cohesive, overall image yet for variety and legibility. From the users’ point of view, the complex meets these demands remarkably well. The quality of design of a Building complex which presented numerous challenges from overall concept through to detail, is well considered, cohesive and logical.

The stone-faced surfaces, wood paneling and glass, offset by exposed structural steel elements, all strike a good balance. The building is flexible and modular, yet it does not give the impression of being repetitive. The scale of the indoor spaces is comfortable, even when empty. This is especially true of the triple level spine which forms a backbone, and the large indoor plant courts which assist with orientation. Modern, international and cool, it makes for its varied purposes. The complex is right alongside the City Centre, appointing the rather dull Foreshore precinct with new purpose and in scale lending a sense of urbanity, using protected internal courtyards as extensions to the City Landscape and thereby creating protected City Squares. This is a first class 'new boy on the block'.

The Proteas played out to an exhilarating Netball World Cup draw against the defending champions New Zealand at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) on Wednesday, the 9th 2023. At a full CTICC, South Africans cheered on loudly as they witnessed a mighty fightback from the Proteas who drew 48-48 with the Silver Ferns.

The International Convention Centre Durban (DICC) is one of the most advanced conference facilities in the World. Key factors in the design of this
state-of-the-art technology driven centre are flexibility and versatility. The DICC is a purpose-built, fully air-conditioned centre with three Convention Halls that are interlinked, but separate. Movable walls allow for numerous different venue configurations. Alternatively the Halls can be opened up to form one large venue with seating for 5000 delegates or 7000 m squared of column free floor space.
Together with its sister venue, the Durban Exhibition Centre (DEC), (which is across the Road!) The ICC can double its capacity to accommodate 10 000 conference delegates. The Centres can function independently or as two halves of one whole. This is achieved by closing Walnut Road, a brick-paved concourse between the two centres, to provide easy access for delegates.
