Happy Tourism Month

Tourism Month is celebrated annually in September, providing a heightened month-long focus on the sector's importance to the South African economy. It features themed activities that are aligned with the United Nations World Tourism Organisation’s (UNWTO) World Tourism Day celebrations.

This global observance day by The United Nations World Tourism Organisation aims to foster awareness of tourism’s social, cultural, political and economic value and the contribution that the sector can make towards reaching the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Tourism Month encourages South Africans to travel domestically to sustain jobs and support tourism recovery in line with the Tourism Sector Recovery Plan.

The Department of Tourism developed the Tourism Sector Recovery Plan with the tourism sector and it contains a set of interventions to protect and rejuvenate supply, reignite demand and strengthen enabling capability to support the sector’s recovery.
