Hon Speaker, the President in his state of the nation address once more referred to tourism as one of the job drivers under the umbrella of the New Development Plan which seeks to ensure that all South Africans attain a decent standard of living by 2030. The ANC congratulates the Department of Tourism on its sterling performance in achieving an increase in tourism growth of 10,4%, which is more than double the 4% of global growth as measured by the World Tourism Organisation. This gives us even more hope that the Brics summit - the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa group - will be a huge success, which success is likely to have a very positive legacy for the industry. We say, "well done" to the department and all stakeholders for laying a solid foundation for 2030. I thank you. [Applause.]
