House Chairperson, on behalf of the DA, hereby moved without notice:
That the House -
1) notes the Tourism sector is all about labour intensive jobs;
2) recognises over 1,5 million people are dependent on tourism for their livelihoods;
3) acknowledges that it is one of the industries that is easiest to be an entrepreneur because of the little money necessary to start up;
4) further acknowledges that it must therefore remove every cost and obstacle to create new jobs for the 10 million unemployed South Africans; and therefore
5) calls on the Minister of Tourism to urgently look into free grading of guest houses, bread and breakfast, hotels and other facilities; and breakdown the cost of new entrepreneurs to be able to start new businesses and create jobs.
I so move.
Motion objected to.
