I must emphasise that the Tourism Monitors Programme has not only assisted with reducing crimes in hotspots but it has also provided an opportunity for young people to be incorporated into the tourism sector through a learnership programme. No impact assessment has been conducted as yet as this programme is still fairly new but it can be stated that in sites that formed the part of the first phase of the deployment of monitors such as Vilakazi Street and the Cape Town Table Mountain, we have seen a decline in tourist attacks.
