“To be the leading, people centered municipality excelling in economic growth, development <strong>and</strong> governance”3.6 TOURISM INDUSTRYThere are currently limited tourism facilities within the LLM <strong>and</strong> tourism does not make a meaningfulcontribution to employment or GVA in the area. Furthermore, the Mpumalanga Tourism Growth Strategydoes not list any tourism attractions in LLM.Existing tourism facilities, outside of St<strong>and</strong>erton, are limited to 5 guest farms/resorts. (Information is limited toavailable data).Given the proximity of the area to Gauteng <strong>and</strong> other tourism attractions <strong>and</strong> routes e.g. the N4 <strong>and</strong>Chrissiesmeer, as well as some of its resources, tourism can be developed for the area. Potential resourcesinclude:• The Grootdraai Dam;• The Vaal River;• The Reitvaal <strong>Co</strong>nservancy;• Bloukop <strong>Co</strong>nservancy, <strong>and</strong>• The railway lines.Figure 20: Potential Tourism Facilities3.7 INFRASTRUCTURAL SERVICES DELIVERYAccording to the 2007 Household Survey, the situation within <strong>Lekwa</strong> with regards to engineering services hasimproved quite significantly between 1996 <strong>and</strong> 2007.
