South Africa's glitterati rolled into Durban for the first-ever World Travel Awards Africa Ceremony, held at the 2008 Indaba in partnership with the International Convention Centre in Durban.

The reigning King of the Zulu nation, His Majesty King Zwelithini Goodwill kaBhekuzulu, opened the ceremony with an inspiring speech.

The packed audience of VIPs came from all corners of the African continent to honor and celebrate excellence in Africa's travel industry.

Although the awards were
