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.

Cabinet has given its concurrence to the appointment of the new South African Tourism (SA Tourism) Board, marking an important milestone in the ongoing strengthening of the organisation’s leadership as it continues to drive tourism growth and contribute to South Africa’s economy.
