Press Release | 31 March 2024
South Africa’s Tourism Sector Landscape: 30 years into freedom! This year, South Africa celebrates 30 years of freedom providing a great opportunity for reflection. The tourism landscape in South Africa has transformed immensely since the 1994 democratic breakthrough.
Not only has transformation, spearheaded by the government through deliberate policy and programmatic interventions, opened up new vistas for the sector, it has ensured that the sector is opened up and truly reflects the demographics of South Africa.
Premised on the National Development Plan (NDP) and the review of the Tourism Sector Master Plan, the transformation of the sector is not only the statement of a policy position, but a lived experience for many previously excluded tourism businesses.
In his State of the Nation Address (SONA) last month, President Cyril Ramaphosa, reflected on the last 30 years stating that “the past enables us to better understand the present and it inspires the actions we must take to build the future”.
