Question NW2236 to the Minister of Tourism
19 June 2023 - NW2236
Matumba, Mr A to ask the Minister of Tourism
In light of how her department will be implementing 29 community-based tourism projects at the cost of R84 million for the 2023-24 financial year, which initiatives has she put in place to train the community to run their facilities, instead of having a management company playing the central role in training communities as is the case with Platfontein?
Reply:
I have been informed that the Department, in the past, did not do social facilitation for infrastructure projects.
I have, now, instructed the Department to use and implement the existing social facilitation process, as approved by Cabinet in 2021.
