The Minister of Tourism, Patricia de Lille and the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson, have formalised a strategic partnership through a Memorandum of Agreement aimed at strengthening the preparation of priority tourism infrastructure projects and unlocking greater private sector investment into South Africa's tourism economy.

The Minister of Tourism, Patricia de Lille, welcomes the launch by President Cyril Ramaphosa of Phase Three of the Government-Business Partnership, which will expand its focus to tourism as one of the key sectors identified to drive inclusive economic growth, job creation and build confidence. 

If we want South Africans to travel more, and if we want visitors to our country to keep coming, we must constantly give them new reasons to travel and that includes new experiences, new places to discover and more opportunities to explore the diversity of South Africa. And today, I am delighted to announce a province that represents precisely that opportunity.
