Question NW2083 to the Minister of Tourism
09 June 2023 - NW2083
Sithole, Mr KP to ask the Minister of Tourism
In light of the fact that she prevented Members of Parliament from travelling to celebrations in New York for Freedom Day in April by not granting permission for South African Tourism to fund the trip, where will the funds that are normally spent on the celebrations be steered towards?
Reply:
I have been informed by South African Tourism that these funds were directed to marketing campaigns and activities. In this case, the funds were allocated and used for the planned localisation of the global advocacy campaign in the USA, which is a priority source market for South Africa.
