About the G20 Summit 2025

The Gauteng Tourism Authority (GTA) is honoured to welcome the world as Johannesburg becomes the first African city to host the G20 Leaders’ Summit on 22–23 November 2025. This historic milestone is more than a global gathering, it is an opportunity to showcase Gauteng as Africa’s economic powerhouse and South Africa’s cultural heart. 

At GTA, we are committed to ensuring every delegate, visitor, and partner experiences the best of Gauteng through our strategic contributions to the G20 Summit: 

  • Curated Delegate Itineraries: Showcasing township life, heritage sites, cultural landmarks, safaris, and world-class culinary experiences. 
  • Cultural & Culinary Showcases: Celebrating local creativity through MusicalGP (Amapiano and jazz), SportingGP (heritage sports), and Gauteng Eats (authentic food experiences). 
  • Global Branding: Driving international awareness through campaigns and hashtags, including #VisitGauteng and #GautengMeansBusiness. 
  • Tourism Partnerships: Collaborating with SMMEs, tour operators, and local businesses to deliver authentic and inclusive visitor experiences. 
  • Legacy Impact: Strengthening Gauteng’s business and MICE tourism infrastructure, ensuring the benefits of hosting extend well beyond the summit. 

For GTA, the G20 Summit is not only about welcoming global leaders but also about cementing Gauteng’s position as a hub of culture, innovation, and sustainable tourism for decades to come.
