​The Department, in partnership with UNISA, developed and customised an Executive Development Programme to train women managers in the tourism sector. The content of the programme was designed to cover the accommodation, hospitality, travel and other related tourism sub-sectors. ​

​The Department of Tourism, in partnership with the UNISA Graduate School of Business Leadership (SBL), held a graduation ceremony to recognise women who successfully completed the Executive Development Programme (EDP) for women in tourism.

​With the Festive Season nearly upon us, the Department of Tourism is gearing up for the summer holidays and today hosted the graduation of the Wine Service Training Programme in the Western Cape and welcomes the new cohort of 139 graduates to populate the talent pool in the tourism value chain.
