VOLVO OCEAN RACE EXPO

VOLVO OCEAN RACE EXPO


The Volvo Ocean Race is likely the largest tourists expo that Cape Town has ever seen. The waterfront is a huge tourist attraction with its Big Wheel, Shopping complex, International Hotels, Foods, Wines and restaurants and the ideal stopover for the Volvo Ocean Race sailors.
