SETTING THE SCENE
• For South Africa to become and remain a:
– high profile,
– high preference,
– highly competitive
Tourism destination on the global stage, it is critical that we as a destination remain in touch with and on the leading edge of destination development and experience delivery excellence.
• This includes both INNOVATION and ACCREDITATION.

EMPHASISING THE IMPORTANCE OF CRUISE TOURISM
“ There is no doubt that the cruise business is one of the fastest growth areas in the tourism sector and that it has begun to take the necessary action to ensure its quadruple bottom line sustainable long term operation - climate, environment, social and economic.
Any country with a great coastal product - like South Africa - would do well to secure its share of this growing market by investing in state of the art infrastructure and training to provide a quality experience in an increasingly competitive area.”
Geoffrey Lipman Assistant Secretary General UNWTO
