To all Tourism Stakeholders located within the Durban West Region and beyond. Here’s more than a couple of reasons why becoming a member of the Durban West Community Tourism Organisation would benefit your business, along with the 2024/2025 membership fees which are scheduled to increase on the 1st July 2025.

Who are we and what do we do? The Durban West Community Tourism Organisation (DWCTO) is a non-profit organisation recognised by KZN Tourism and Film Authority along with Durban Tourism. The aim of the DWCTO is to promote tourism products and attractions within the Western Region of Durban – from Tollgate to Tollgate.

This region offers its guests a great selection of tourist attractions, great hospitality and rich history. The location is ideal for travellers wanting to explore the greater Durban area as it lies in between the Durban Central area with it’s beaches, the North Coast, South Coast and the Valley of 1000 Hills.

Over recent years, the Durban West region has become the preferred destination for tourists & business travellers visiting Durban. There are many reasons for this, but to sum up why this is where visitors like to stay is that it is central to all the attractions Durban has to offer, the accommodation venues offer value for money and there are many business districts and opportunities to ‘shop until you drop’ in the area.

The Logo is that of the Mariannhill Trappist Monastery Campanile. Standing tall and erect this beautiful tower signifies a proud and visible beacon for hope, strength, unity and success.
