Tourism
Consolidated Local Government Tourism Intervention, Support and Capacitation Programme The National Tourism Sector Strategy (NTSS) of South Africa recognises Local Government as a key partner/stakeholder in growing tourism and achieving its outcomes. There is also an acknowledgement that in its current form, Local Government is far from being able to carry the required functions related to tourism development and management. It is in light of the above realities and capacity limitations at the Local Government sphere that a need arose to develop a Local Government Tourism Development and Growth Support Programme, led by the National Department of Tourism (NDT), with support from other partners.
