Cape Town was honoured with a special Cape Town’s Day on 27 September, co-inciding with World Tourism Day.

Cape Town Tourism created the special day, which was designed to give something back to Capetonians, by allowing them to enjoy the icons and attractions of Cape Town. Local radio stations ran competitions, and winners received free tickets to go up Table Mountain, to visit Robben Island, Kirstenbosch, World of Birds, MTN Science Centre, Monkey Town, the Aquarium, and to enjoy a township tour, a city sightseeing bus tour or the Southern Line Rail Route.
