The KwaZulu-Natal Tourism and Film Authority is set to celebrate Tourism Month with focus on the provinces cultural heritage and tourism legacy.
Musa Zondi , MEC for Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs, announced the celebrations will take place at the uMgungundlovu Multimedia Centre in Ulundi, northern KwaZulu-Natal, on September 12. The venue, honouring four centuries of Zulu history, is known as the royal capital of Zulu King Dingane.
The Tourism Month celebrations will start in Zululand, the home of Zulu Kingdom heritage, where tourism numbers have increased from 305 018 in 2022 to 364 160 in 2023.
It is time to remind each other that KwaZulu-Natal is a destination like no other in the world, added Zondi. It has rich cultural traditions, history and heritage and this is what draws countless thousands of visitors to the province every year.
As the KwaZulu-Natal Tourism and Film Authority enters a new era, following the merger of Tourism KZN and the Film Commission, the entity is looking forward to igniting that unique Zulu Kingdom brand.
