Question NW1911 to the Minister of Tourism
29 September 2016 - NW1911
Mokgalapa, Mr S to ask the Minister of Tourism
(a) What are the causes for the delays in the transfer of R2,9 million from his department to SA Tourism and (b) how often did SA Tourism not receive funds allocated by his department as per the agreed time frames?
Reply:
(a) There was no delay in the transfer of funds to South African Tourism. The total marketing allocation as appropriated was transferred in April 2016 upon National Treasury’s approval, to allow for management of potential currency losses.
(b) Not applicable. The department transfers the contribution to South African Tourism quarterly in advance.
