Matumba, Mr A to ask the Minister of Tourism

(1) What total amount did her department spend on the Green Tourism Incentive Programme (GTIP) in the past financial year; (2) whether she will furnish Mr A Matumba with a list including the (a) names of the companies that benefited from the GTIP, (b) manner in which the specified companies benefited and (c) total amount that was spent on the companies; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?

Reply:

(1) I have been informed that the total GTIP grant disbursements between 1 April 2022 and 31 March 2023 amounted to R13 663 433 million. In addition to disbursements in the 2022/2023 financial year a further R22.3 million was registered as commitments for 31 GTIP applicants that were approved and another five approved applicants for which grant adjustments were approved. Once contracts between the IDC and approved applicants are concluded to trigger project implementation, registered commitments will change to disbursements.

An additional amount of R130 million was also transferred to the IDC from the Department in the 2022/2023 financial year to recapitalise the GTIP and ensure availability of funds required to open up additional application windows after taking into account existing commitments and future estimated expenditure on pipeline applications.
