ACCOLADES Grow your Business: Enter the 2018 Lilizela Tourism Awards “The Lilizela Tourism Awards give us the opportunity to celebrate trailblazers as well as service excellence in the South African tourism industry.” Sisa Ntshona, CEO South African Tourism. Entries for the esteemed Lilizela Tourism Awards for accommodation establishments and tourism-related products and services opened on 1 March 2018. 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. “We are proud that through the Lilizela Tourism Awards, we have increased awareness of the important role that tourism plays in spurring on economic growth in the region. The prestige that is associated with this awards initiative is evidence that South African 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,” said South African Tourism’s Chief Executive Officer, Sisa Ntshona.
