MR F BHENGU (ANC) TO ASK MINISTER OF TOURISM:

(1) What are his department's plans for tourism with regard to protected areas;

(2) has his department identified priorities for tourism in areas like the Kruger National Park, Addo Elephant National Park and any other national parks; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NW3646E

THE MINISTER OF TOURISM REPLIES:

(1) The Protected areas are not the mandate of the National Department of Tourism (NDT) but falls under the competency of the Department of Environmental Affairs. However, the NDT's Heritage and Cultural Tourism Strategy developed in 2012 has highlighted as a key action the prioritisation and further development and promotion of the eight World Heritage sites in South Africa. In order to action this strategy, the National Department of Tourism has become a permanent member of the World Heritage Site Steering committee chaired by the Department of Environmental Affairs. The eight World Heritage sites all fall within the ambit of protected areas managed by entities such as SANParks, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife and Eastern Cape Tourism and Parks Agency with the exception of Robben Island which is managed by the Department of Arts and Culture (DAC).

(2) The Department has developed a needs assessment for each of the eight World Heritage Sites in partnership with the relevant conservation agencies such as SANParks. The purpose of the needs assessments was to arrive at an understanding of the tourism development potential for each of these sites.

MRS V BAM-MUGWANYE (ANC) TO ASK THE MINISTER OF TOURISM:

(1) (a) What plans does his department have in place to facilitate transformation in the tourism industry and (b) is something specific and tangible happening to support emerging businesses like craft markets, shuttles, bed and breakfast establishments and food outlets that can increase the volume of business in these areas;

(2) is there an innovative approach targeted to address this need; if so, what are the relevant details? NW3645E

THE MINISTER OF TOURISM REPLIES:

(1)

(a) The Department appointed Tourism Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Charter Council, to strengthen the monitoring of transformation in the sector. The Council is composed of members from business, labour and civil society across the tourism spectrum as expressed in the gazetted Tourism B-BBEE Charter. To date, the Council has developed a Plan of Action outlining its focus areas and strategic projects for the period up to 2015.

(b) The Domestic Tourism Strategy as approved for the period 2012-2020 is focused inter alia on growing Domestic Tourism revenue by inter alia increasing domestic tourism volumes. Targeted programmes under this strategy serve to cater for emerging businesses whilst also promoting the growth of established businesses.

The Department is implementing the SMME development programme through Tourism Enterprise Partnerships (TEP) to support emerging tourism business such as accommodation including bed and breakfasts and travel services with mentorship, training, and market access (to increase tourism volume and revenue) and to create and sustain full time equivalent jobs.

(2) The Department will be launching the new Tourism Incentive Programme early 2014 which will cater for the entire tourism value chain. The incentive will also serve as a catalyst in driving transformation within the industry with very stringent criteria which will be based on BEE level points and other factors for enterprises to qualify. The Department will over time be able to build a basket of different and complimentary types of incentive programmes (i.e. a broad programme with different incentive components in a phased approach). The proposed phased approach will include Market Access Programme and Grading Support Programme in 2014/15. The Department will then introduce a specific incentive programme (e.g. Product Development Programme) to support product and service enhancement amongst small and emerging businesses in 2015/16 and beyond.

Ms R M M Lesoma (ANC) to ask the Minister of Tourism:

Whether, given the fact that international operations are expanding and that this exposes SA Tourism (SAT) and his department to foreign currency risk, his department and SAT have plans to investigate this in the management of risk to exposure; if not, why not; if so, what plans? NW3644E

THE MINISTER OF TOURISM REPLIES:

In terms of the Board of SAT's fiduciary responsibilities, SAT Management prepares a Risk Register on an annual basis for Board's review and approval. Amongst the "Top Ten (10)" Strategic Risks is SAT's Currency Risk Exposure, categorised under Funding (i.e. Finance Risk).

The Board reviews this risk at each and every Board meeting and requires management to continuously improve the control environment to mitigate this risk.

Management identified the following key controls to mitigate the currency risks:

- Enhancing planning processes and quarterly cash flow requirements per business unit;

- Enhancing the implementation of the PFMA and Treasury Regulations including Supply Chain guidelines, to ensure and strive for economic, effective and efficient mechanisms of utilizing public funds;

- Re-prioritisation of projects, monitoring and evaluations, and

- Assessment of further exposures with financial implications to SAT Quarterly risk review by Risk Management unit.
