Minister of Public Works & Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson, KwaZulu-Natal Member of Executive Council (MEC) for Public Works, Martin Meyer, and the National Chairperson of the Federated Hospitality Association of South Africa (FEDHASA), Rosemary Anderson, will on Tuesday, 22 October 2024, in Durban announce a new working relationship as well as the outcomes of a closed door taking place in the morning. They will be joined by senior officials from the eThekwini municipality. 

After the Covid-19 pandemic, devastating floods and civil unrests, it is important that all spheres of government work together with the tourism industry to restore and grow the tourism numbers in KwaZulu-Natal ahead of the peak summer period. Tourism can play an important role to create thousands of new jobs in the province which will improve the lives of all people living in the province.
