Further to the recent announcement of a rebrand for Franschhoek to the ‘Valley of Dreams’, the celebrations continue with recent news of the town now having made Time Magazine’s prestigious list of ‘World’s Greatest Places’ for 2022.
This collection includes 50 destinations from around the world that Time’s correspondents and contributors nominated for exploring on the strength of the destination’s offer of “new and exciting experiences.”
This recent accolade arrives at a time where the need for boosting of tourism levels and visitor numbers is at an all time high, post-pandemic.
