Like many major cities, Durban has both good and bad areas. It is advisable when walking in Durban, particularly at night, that one should be aware of people around you, and ideally you should not walk alone but in a group. Ostentatious displays of wealth should be avoided, and it is not advisable to look like a typical ‘tourist’ with many cameras strung around your neck. Do not leave valuables unattended.

Smoking Policy

There is a non- smoking policy throughout the conference venue.

A bank (ATM - all major credit cards) and foreign exchange facility are available in the basement foyer of the ICC Durban , from Monday – Friday; 9am – 5pm
