  • APPROPRIATION BILL
  • Minister Of Tourism 10 Jul 2019 hansard

    Through you, Chairperson , hon members, I am responding to a debate where members have raised issues. That's why I am making reference to them. Learn the rules of the debate.

    In terms of Tomsa, hon member Gumbi, as you raised the issue that's why...

    IsiZulu:

    ... yingakho sikufundisa ukuthi i-Tourism Marketing Levy South Africa, Tomsa, inaso isephulelo salabo babo. Ngakhoke, hhayi ukuthi iyabavalela ngaphandle.

    English:

    There are benefits. For nonmembers of Tomsa is 80%, so...

    IsiZulu:

    ... ngakhoke ayivalelanga abantu.

    English:

    The way in which the grading system has been done is working very well. It is inclusive, it ensures that those who want to participate can do so.

    IsiZulu:

    Asibuyele kulokhu okukhulumile ukuthi sibulala ama-Airbnb. Namhlanje ekuseni bengikwaLanga ngivakashele iLangalethemba.

    English:

    Ekhaya Le Langa is a project that is there and it is linked with communities that are doing Airbnb. If I am killing Airbnbs why should I visit?

    Let me explain what the Bill intends to do. The Bill is intending to regulate homestays. We have a responsibility as government to ensure safety and security, the quality of standard and what we are offering. If Somebody has a bad experience about South Africa, they will not say kwaKubayi- Ngubane, but they say South Africa cannot manage tourism. That's why we have to make sure that the quality of the product and the services that we offer to our tourists who are coming to the country is excellent and they can be brand ambassadors. One tourist that speaks bad about South Africa, is one to many. And we can't afford that because we are building tourism that is inclusive to all.

    They are going to continue to benefit and they will register with Airbnbs, and it's not going to be stopped. We are not stopping technology, but we want to make sure that it is regulated and it's within the issues.

    Hon Krumbock, we need to learn how to handle water crisis. This is one of the examples. Cape Town could have managed water crisis communication better. The entire South Africa suffered.

    If you look at the statistics the entire South Africa suffered because the communication was so badly managed. Tourists thought that the whole country has a water crisis. That's what we must know. The communication was badly so managed at the City of Cape Town. You must take responsibility of that.

    IsiZulu:

    Mangithathe leli thuba ngibonge ababambe iqhaza kule nkulumo- mpikiswano yesabelozimali ...

    Sepedi:

    ... ke re ke a leboga, ka gobane t?homi?ano ya lena le thu?o ya lena di tla re thu?a gore re kgone go kgwahli?a. Go t?e dingwe t?e le di bolet?ego le dipot?i?o t?e re sa kgonago go di araba, re tlile go di tsent?ha mo?omong wa rena ... [Nako e fedile.] Ke a leboga.

    Debate concluded.

    The mini-plenary session rose at 15:47. -----------------------
