In order to enable participation at the international trade shows, South African Tourism will continue, during the course of this year, to subsidise the participation fee for interested tourism industry businesses. This is part of South African Tourism’s efforts towards ensuring a complete and inclusive recovery of the sector, by enabling tourism partners to participate in global platforms to showcase their offerings to global audiences.
