In an operational first, the Table Mountain Cableway is competing for the coveted title of World's Leading Cable Car Ride in the 2021 World Travel Awards!

Voting for the World categories runs from the 27th of September until midnight on the 24th of October 2021. You can vote for us in the following categories:

• World's Leading Cable Car Ride: https://www.worldtravelawards....
• World's Leading Tourist Attraction: https://www.worldtravelawards....

“It has been a tough few months for tourism, and while our industry is finally starting to show signs of recovery, this has been the positive news we have been waiting for. We are blown away by this nomination, one we are eager to secure, especially with the world-renowned cable car rides we are up against,” said Wahida Parker, Managing Director of Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company.

The list of competitors in this category include:

• Bondinho Pão de Açúcar in Brazil

• Cable Car at Sun World Ba Na Hills in Vietnam

• Disney Skyliner Cable Car in the United States

• Mi Teleférico in Bolivia

• PEAK 2 PEAK 360 in Canada

• Skyline Queenstown in New Zealand

• Wings of Tatev in Armenia

“In the meantime, we are also awaiting the outcome of the category winner in the Leading Tourist Attraction in Africa for 2021, an accolade that our beloved, iconic mountain on which we operate has won three times before. These nominations are an extraordinary honour, and the timing could not be better. October marks the 92nd anniversary since operations started at the Cableway Company; it also marks 10 years since we became a New7Wonder of Nature,” explained Parker.

In order to win, we have to receive more votes than any of the other nominated attractions and are therefore appealing to all South Africans, especially those in the tourism and travel industries, for your support. Travel industry members’ votes count double that of public votes, which is why we’re encouraging industry participation in this regard.

Said Parker: “10 years ago, the citizens of South Africa rallied and responded to the call to vote for Table Mountain as a New7Wonder of Nature, and their efforts secured us that title. We are once again calling on them to help us bring it home.”
