Power of collaboration in boosting domestic tourism
Published: October 07, 2022<< BACK TO NEWS
This afternoon, the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality hosted a Gauteng Tourism Authority delegation as part of a campaign to promote local tourism destinations.
This is part of a larger drive to promote tourism between the Eastern Cape and Gauteng, which will allow Gauteng to promote its most significant tourism offerings, which include one of the best nightlife scenes, Roof Top experiences, Township Experiences, trendy fashion trends, Mogodu Mondays, and of course the popular Phuza Thursdays. In return, NMBM will have the opportunity to promote the city's blue flagged beaches, cultural precincts, rich history, and the friendliness of its residents, as well as the city's tourist attractions, including Addo Elephant Park and Donkin Reserve (Route 67).
Speaking at the stakeholder session, Barba Gaoganediwe, Spokesperson Gauteng Tourism, said that working together was key to unlocking the full potential of domestic tourism, as Gauteng and the City have different flavours that complement one another.
Violet Lupuwana, managing director of Chumile holdings, underlined the need of encouraging more young people to travel, as it not only enriches their experiences but also expands their viewpoint. "Travel is the only experience that will make you richer; it allows you to network and observe how people in other regions of the world conduct themselves, which will help extend your perspective,” she said.
"I encourage young people to travel and experience life in other parts of the country and the world, "said Violet.
The team, which is in town for two days, will hold a tourism activation to promote the Summer season, on Saturday 08 October 2022 at the Bay west Mall from 10:00am to 17:00.
