When COVID-19 became a reality in our town in March 2020, Visit Stellenbosch, as the official destination marketing organsisation, had two choices on how to react. We could so easily have been paralysed by the devastating effect lockdown had on our members, our global industry and our town.

However, we consciously decided to remain invigorated and focussed and to draw positive energy from the remarkable spirit of collaboration that Stellenbosch as a town and a community portrayed on so many fronts. We have used that as a platform to position ourselves not only towards surviving, but towards thriving.
