The Business Partner of the Year award recognises the performance of Cape Point\u2019s Partnership with Thebe Tourism in growing SANParks business and exceeding targets in the 2015\/16 financial year.<\/p>\n<p>The Thebe Tourism Group became the sole owner of the Cape Point Concession in November 2015. Located in the Cape of Good Hope section of Table Mountain National Park, Cape Point is recognised as one of South Africa\u2019s key tourism attractions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very proud to be honoured alongside some of South Africa\u2019s most deserving conservationists. For TTG, the award confirms that we have a hardworking team that has been doing amazing work on site,\u201d says Thebe Tourism Group CEO Jerry Mabena.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe award is made even more significant as it comes in the year that Cape Point concession itself celebrates 20 years of operation.
