We are here as Government to get our communities out of their houses, to visit areas of attraction that are within their Municipalities and Provinces. We believe that by word of mouth and using gadgets, we can create a circle of family friends where you share information on tourist attraction. One may then ask; how do we get out of the house now that we are in Alert Level 1?
As we gradually open up our borders for international travel in accordance with the global pandemic risk levels, we will complement this with an aggressive international marketing strategy that will be implemented in partnership with the private sector. More business and jobs will be recovered when international travel goes to full recovery.
The visit to the District Municipality follows a commitment made by the Department on World Tourism Day (27 September 2020) to leverage, amongst others, on its Rural Tourism Development Strategy to revive the domestic travel market.
