“Our highest priority this year will be on the introduction of a world class eVisa regime. This, combined with enhanced destination marketing and measures to strengthen tourism safety, will create the conditions for the growth we envisage, and the jobs and opportunities that will follow,” said President Ramaphosa during #SONA2019

“In addition to direct jobs, this export industry (tourism) could generate as many as 2 million more jobs in food and agriculture, construction, transport, retail, and the creative and cultural industries by 2030. We will deepen the partnership between government and business to realise this vision,” said the President during #SONA2019 #WeDoTourism
