Hon Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that Tourism Month is an annual celebration held in September to focus on the importance of tourism to the economy of South Africa;
2) further notes that World Tourism Day is commemorated on 27 September each year and that this date was chosen to coincide with an important milestone in world tourism: the anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) Statutes on 27 September 1970; and
3) recognises the importance of Tourism Month and World Tourism Day to foster awareness among South Africans and the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic values.
Agreed to.
