Cape Town Tourism had an afternoon of discussion pertaining to the Hout Bay tourism industry and Cape Town Tourism’s services offered to both visitors and members. They’ve opted to make Cape Town Tourism members and staff part of the process of transformation in their ongoing quest to ensure that Cape Town is positioned as a world class destination.

General Manager of Cape Town Tourism, Mariëtte du Toit, discussed with various members of the community and local businesses, the effects of broad-based black economic empowerment and the support systems in Hout Bay for emerging black businesses, opportunities for Hout Bay tourism facilities to market themselves via the www.tourismcapetown.co.za/houtbay site as well as Cape Town Tourism being at the heart of the 2010 Task Team.

Cape Town Tourism welcomed the heartfelt debate & the honest participation as well as the fresh and creative ideas that will enhance the visitor’s experience to this beautiful harbour village.
