67 minutes assisting tourism product owners
The Department of Tourism in the North West will spend its 67 minutes to address tourism product gaps as per the grading assessment report, which includes infrastructure and access for people with disability and further promoting and marketing of tourism product in Taung on Friday.
The Department will be joining the provincial executive council and the Setsokotsana programme in Taung in promoting tourism products in villages, small dorpies and townships. The venture will also address the geographical spread and seasonality challenges in the tourism sector in the area, as well as promoting enterprise support, especially on tourism products owned by Africans especially women.
Based on the outline, the MEC for Tourism Desbo Mohono has identified Modisa Lodge in Taung as a pilot project to execute the Nelson Mandela day celebrations for this year. This will also promote the Agriculture, Culture and Tourism policy pronouncement.
