Themed ‘Youth in Tourism’, the Imbizo will provide a platform for the Minister, and the executives from the Western Cape province, to engage with the community on the initiatives and opportunities that exist in the Tourism sector for the youth, women and SMMEs.
The Imbizo will be preceded by a site visit to the Stoney Point Eco – Centre. The Centre is a community initiative funded by the Department of Tourism as part of its Social Responsibility Implementation programme, in collaboration with the Overstrand Local Municipality.
