Tourism Members Receives Grant

Tourism Members Receives Grant

Several of the Tourism Members applied for the Department of Tourism (DOT) Tourism Relief Fund, during the COVID 19 Lockdown period.  Applications for the fund should have been submitted by 31 May 2020.

At the start of the Lockdown in March 2020 the Middelburg Tourist Information Centre set up a WhatsApp group, and we forwarded all relevant information to the local Tourism Industry so that they can apply, and are kept up to date with the various legislations and opportunities for assistance.

Middelburg Info is pleased to announce that the DOT has helped several businesses in our area and district.  They assisted tourism product owners and services providers in the industry. The grant’s purpose was to assist the tourism members during the COVID 19 Lockdown. 41 Businesses in the Nkangala District received assistance, and 7 local Steve Thswete businesses were beneficiaries; we know it is not enough, but at least it will help them, as they are busy with recovery plans and revive their businesses.

Support our local tourism businesses, for a week-end breakaway, a Sunday Lunch or maybe go for a game drive.  For accommodation bookings, or for information about our area, contact Mmabatho at the Info Centre on 013 243 2253 or email info@middelburginfo.com.
