Yet SMMEs in the tourism sector face a myriad obstacles on an almost daily basis. Weak and failing public utilities, social unrest and crime (and increasingly cybercrime), exchange rate concerns and political disruption pose critical challenges to business continuity. The experience of the Covid-19 pandemic in particular has made the business case (in every sector) for a much greater emphasis on business resilience.
Join us for a discussion on how SA’s potential as a tourism destination can be fully realised with moderator Francis Herd and an expert panel:
- Joni Musabayana, country director, International Labour Organisation (ILO);
- Themba Khumalo, acting CEO & chief marketing officer, SA Tourism;
- Phakamile Hlazo, CEO, Zulu Nomad;
- David Frost, CEO, Southern African Tourism Services Association (Satsa); and
- Mandisa Magwaxaza, co-vice chairman, Satsa.
Among other questions, the event will explore:
- The most pressing resilience challenges facing SMMEs in the tourism sector; and
- The role that business membership organisations and the public sector can play in promoting resilience across the sector.
