PROJECTED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS Although Korean International Trade Association Marketing Office, Cape Town is less than a year old, some key relationships and alliances are being forged with potential trade and industry partners. Chambers of commerce's are also actively working to build meaningful partnerships with various international organizations for the benefit of their membership base in addition to local retail chains and independent distribution organizations across Sub-Sahara Africa. Based on this background, we are expecting 150 delegates will attend the proposed exhibition from the domestic sector in South Africa (30 buyers from retail chains, 20 independent distribution organizations, 90 from industry, and 10 from academic) South Africa is a well-recognized tourist destination in Africa, and its geographical location at the southern most tip of Africa makes it a major travel hub for international and regional flights. We expect a considerable number of independent distribution firms in the sub sahara Africa to attend the event.
