Interesting and welcomed developments for the tourism, hospitality and leisure sectors in South Africa.
“South Africa is considered a top tourist destination due to its distinctive combination of contemporary infrastructure, cultural history, and biodiversity. Building on these elements, the Tourism Paper provides encouragement for focused expenditure relating to infrastructure development, marketing, and increased safeguards for tourists. With an emphasis on important markets in Europe and North America, these efforts aim to attract an increasing number of foreign tourists to South Africa.”
The recently gazetted White Paper on the Development and Promotion of tourism in South Africa, 1996 (the “Tourism Paper”), signifies an important milestone in the government’s efforts to revitalise the South African tourism industry. The Tourism Paper was gazetted on 4 October 2024 and provides recommendations for leveraging tourism to drive environmental preservation, cultural enrichment, and economic progress.
In essence, the Tourism Paper functions as a guide for realising South Africa's enormous tourism potential. It tackles issues of the present while establishing audacious objectives for the future. The goal of the policy is to transform the tourism industry by generating employment opportunities, promoting increased cross-cultural understanding, and expanding the economy.
