Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 2003 (Act No. 53 of 2003)Codes of Good Practice on Black Economic EmpowermentTourism Sector Charter3. The Legacy |
| (3.1) | We recognize that our industry, like the rest of South African society, remains characterized by large disparities in access to opportunities and benefits, and in particular, to opportunities. and benefits for black people. |
| (3.2) | We also recognize that our sector is largely white-owned and we are aware of the residual impact of this legacy of inequality and its continuing impact on efforts to ensure that a tourism-and tourist-friendly culture takes root in our country. Furthermore, we recognize that the legacy of Apartheid remains apparent in some of the Tourism Sector's associations and bodies and we therefore acknowledge the need for transformation within these associations, so that they may become truly representative and reflective of our society. |
| (3.3) | In addition, we recognise that our sector remains largely inaccessible to the majority of black South African tourists. Since South Africa has so much to offer in terms of tourism, we recognise the need to reverse this legacy and to make tourism in South Africa more adaptable and accessible to black South African tourists. |
