South Africa is now one of the world’s leading tourist destinations. While many of these visitors are attracted to the wildlife game parks our coastal resorts are always busy. The green waters of the Indian Ocean that meet warm and inviting beaches are always popular with local and international visitors alike. Despite being a destination of leisure, this is also an enjoyable location for business. A number of hotels feature special packages to companies and organizations who require conferencing facilities. In Ballito on the north coast, the Hotel iZulu was built to allow holiday makers and businessmen a number of features. With a large scale conference room, a business summit can be held here that allows attendees the chance to enjoy the local scenery and attractions.
The conference room itself features an audio-visual setup that will allow advanced video-conferencing. For smaller meetings, the Royal Suite is also available which features a large scale, flat-screen television which may be used for presentation purposes. This suite also has a fully stocked bar that can be tended by a hotel employee. The Hotel iZulu also features a banqueting hall that will accommodate up to 150 delegates. Catering options that are available include buffet or plated meals as well as a number of small snacks, teas and coffees.
The Hotel iZulu will also supply some basic stationary to delegates such as pencils and notepads. All this is priced out at R350 per day, per attendee. The rate is reduced to R280 for a half day option. For a smaller meeting, the Royal Suite can be made available which provides more luxury in the form of a private lounge, flat screened television and fully serviced bar. Delegates wishing to stay the night have a choice of either executive or deluxe suites.
Due to a high demand for accommodation in this part of South Africa it is highly recommended that those wishing to hold a conference at the Hotel iZulu book as far in advance as possible. This will allow the hotel adequate time to make the necessary arrangements regarding accommodation and catering.
