With the exciting news that Harry Potter is being

With the exciting news that Harry Potter is being developed into a television series, we couldn’t help but reminisce about the magical Harry Potter themed event Forum Group created back in 2019.

Guests stepped into a stunning recreation of the Great Hall at Hogwarts, complete with over 1,000 floating candles and four long house tables. Throughout the night, guests were delighted by appearances from familiar characters including Hagrid, Professor McGonagall, the Fat lady (in her portrait, of course) and the crowd favourite - Hedwig the owl! Even Moaning Myrtle made a surprise appearance in the ladies’ bathroom!

In February, we had the pleasure of partnering with South African Tourism for the Mega Lekker Escape in South Africa. 🇿🇦 🦁🐘

This inaugural event hosted 90 travel agents from Australia and New Zealand who experienced the best of South Africa on nine simultaneous familiarisation trips across the country. The event culminated in a two-day training event at the stunning Sun City Resort, attended by 130 delegates and South African property operators.

During these 2 days, delegates experienced a safari game drive in the Big 5 Pilanesberg Game Reserve, an Amazing Race throughout Sun City, and one-to-one meetings between wholesalers and South African operators. The event also featured a trivia night set in a traditional outdoor Boma, and an educational evening where agents took to the stage to share their experiences with each other.

We are thrilled to have been a part of this incredible event hosted by South African Tourism.
