Finalists in the category Best New Non-Hotel Tourism Investment are Maliba Lodge in Lesotho, the East London International Convention Centre and the new 6th floor of the Sandton Sun Hotel.

Nominees for this award will include quality accommodation establishments such as lodges which have contributed to increased local and international investment into these types of products. The criteria used to assess nominations will include size of the project, functionality and fit with target markets, responsible tourism practice an impact on the wider community.
