Introduction of Tourism Charter Council at provincial level
26 June 2006
Following the successful national launch of the Tourism Charter Council, the Secretariat will now embark on introducing the council at a provincial level.
First in line is the Limpopo launch where MEC for Environment and Tourism, Colins Chabane, is expected to address key tourism stakeholders on Wednesday, 28 June 2006, at Meropa Casino, Polokwane from 12h00.
The launch includes the unveiling of the new Charter brand, an audio visual presentation, question and answer and networking session.
A Public Sector Workshop on the Tourism Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) Charter precedes the launch ceremony at Meropa Casino from 09h00 until 11h10. The core objectives of this workshop is to familiarise public sector representatives from Limpopo with the Charter, while promoting use of the Charter as a base for procuring tourism and hospitality products and services.
A highlight of the workshop will be the introduction of a public sector tourism and hospitality procurement tool with a demonstration on how it can be used to ensure reporting on progress.
