Question NW4177 to the Minister of Tourism
21 December 2023 - NW4177
De Freitas, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Tourism
What (a) total amount has been budgeted and/or allocated for the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (i) in each month in the past three financial years and (ii) since 1 April 2023 to date, (b)(i) processes, procedures and/or reporting mechanisms are in place to ensure and monitor that the funds are properly spent and (c) amount has been spent in each month in the specified period?
Reply:
I have been informed that the Department of Tourism has not had a budget line item for transfers to the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA) for the financial years 2020/21 to 2023/24 and has not made any transfers to TBCSA in that period.
SA Tourism does not allocate budget for the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA) as they have their own budget as the administrators of the Tourism Marketing South Africa (TOMSA) levy.
