Department of Tourism StrategyTourism Development with a Focus on Broad Based Empowerment |
South Africa aims to ensure that its tourism strategy promotes equitable development for various vulnerable groups, especially for women.
The strategy of the Department of Tourism identifies broad based empowerment as a priority within its framework. Various empowerment initiatives and incentive programmes have been implemented in this area such as: the Women Development Programme; the Tourism Equity Fund; and the Tourism Incentive Programme. All these incentive programmes have skill development aspects that are targeted to ensure inclusive tourism.
South Africa hopes that through this strategy, vulnerable groups across the country are empowered and equipped with skills to thrive in the sector.
