Free State Is So Much More Than Just A Stop Over

The Free State Tourism Department says it plays an important role in driving the provinces economy.

The department celebrated the start of its tourism campaign at the Gariep Dam Open Park in the Xhariep District yesterday.

Motorists drive through the Free State when visiting other provinces like the Eastern Cape and Western Cape.

Some motorists use the provincial capital Bloemfontein as a stopover to break lengthy trips or to take a body break.

However, the departments MEC Ketso Makume says the province has so much more to offer.
