(c) an assessment of the impact of the completed projects on the (i) overall performance of the tourism industry and (ii) regional economies in the Republic; if not, why not, in each case; if so, what are the relevant details in each case
I have been informed by the Department that the projects are in the construction stage, none of the above-mentioned projects are completed.
I have met with DBSA to discuss the poor performance and advised the Department to establish a project management unit to conduct oversight.
