Optimism for the future and celebration of the unity that emerges from South Africas people, cultures and connections are the focus areas of Tourism Month this September.
The Tourism Month theme was officially launched in the Northern Cape capital, Kimberley yesterday, August 20, by Minister of Tourism Patricia de Lille . The province has been chosen to host the countrys World Tourism Day celebrations on September 27.
De Lille said it was not just about attracting visitors to our shores, but about inviting locals and international guests to engage deeply with the stories and experiences that define South Africa as a nation.
The Northern Cape is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultural heritage and unparalleled experiences for adventure and cultural immersion, said De Lille, noting that it is a region that is less visited than others in the country.
The Northern Cape is truly a gem within our South African borders, offering diverse experiences that cater to all tastes and interests. I had the most amazing visit here last year in Riemvasmaak and at the Kgalagadi National Park.
