News & Information Lilizela Tourism Awards entries now open Entries for the esteemed Lilizela Tourism Awards for accommodation establishments and tourism-related products and services opened this month. The annual awards recognise and reward tourism players and businesses who work with tireless pride to deliver world-class products and services, growing South Africa’s global competitiveness as a destination in the process. The Lilizela Tourism Awards have been honouring the “best of the best” products, experiences and people in the South African tourism sector since 2012. An initiative of the National Department of Tourism and spearheaded by South African Tourism, the annual awards ceremony is always a star-studded and celebratory affair. Tourism’s ongoing drive to promote service excellence and product grading through the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa (TGCSA) is yielding positive results for the tourism industry. In 2017, the awards attracted a record number of 1,649 entries, up by about 40% from 2016’s figure. Tourism businesses across the nine provinces are encouraged to enter. Cape Town promotes water-wise tourism Much like other successful tourist regions such as Southern California and Western Australia, South Africa’s Western Cape is among the world’s most water-scarce areas. Vulnerable to climate change effects and susceptible to periodic droughts, the Western Cape is currently going through a significant lack of rainfall. However, as recently noted by World Travel Market (WTM,) Cape Town and the Western Cape are open for business despite the current drought. “Visitors and delegates will arrive in a place with a significant breadth and depth of experiences, and exceptional beauty, but we encourage you to be mindful of water-wise tourism and business travel when you’re here,” noted a WTM report. Cape Town has also put up various initiatives to increase the water supply and make provisions for extreme water shortages.

This year also marks the 20th anniversary of China-South Africa diplomatic ties. Twenty years ago, then President Nelson Mandela made the political decision for South Africa to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China. With joint efforts, the relations realised a triple jump from a partnership to a strategic partnership, and now to comprehensive strategic partnership. In the process, a tremendous amount of tangible benefits have been delivered to both peoples. Today, the China-SA relationship has gained growing strategic and global significance. China is a reliable, productive and beneficial partner to South Africa. Over the years, a multi-layered, wide-ranging and all-dimensional co-operation framework between China and South Africa has taken shape. China-SA relations have become a role model for China’s co-operation with other African and developing countries. In mutually beneficial and win-win co-operation, China has for nine years in a row been South Africa’s largest trading partner.
