Tourism launches Enterprise Development Business Incubator to grow and sustain SMMEs in Limpopo
Deputy Minister Elizabeth Thabethe will officially launch Tourism Enterprise Development Business Incubator in Phalaborwa – Limpopo as part of a greater objective to grow and sustain SMMEs in the sector.
The Tourism Enterprise Development Business Incubator is a virtual vehicle used to facilitate the provision of business support interventions to tourism enterprises. SMMEs that participate in the incubator programme undergo a needs analysis that determines the type of mentorship, coaching and cluster training programmes.
The launch will be followed by a business expo to showcase the services and initiatives under the Enterprise Development and Support Programme.
