Question NW3753 to the Minister of Tourism
27 November 2023 - NW3753
Mohlala, Ms MR to ask the Minister of Tourism
In light of the looming economic crisis resulting from the prolonged beach closures in Durban and the potential devastation facing the tourism industry and its entire value chain, what specific immediate action is her department undertaking to swiftly restore these vital tourist attractions?
Reply:
Tourism is a concurrent function with clear roles and responsibilities for each sphere of government. Beaches fall within the responsibility of local government. The Honourable Member is therefore requested to redirect this question to the relevant authority.
