Chair, Deputy Minister, on p 53 the NTSS clearly outlines the concurrent responsibilities and institutional arrangements of the four spheres of government, if we include the district councils. The various interprovincial and local government forums don't seem to be working. Many municipalities lack capacity, resulting in poorly marketed and packaged destination information at their tourist information centres. There is also duplication, which I keep harping on, in regard to advertising at the various levels. Clearly these forums need to be reconsidered.
Therefore, Deputy Minister, would you not consider your department taking over these information bureaus or visitor centres, as they are called in the affected municipalities, to ensure quality services, proper packaging, and uniform marketing and branding of our tourist destinations to avoid duplication and wasteful expenditure of scarce resources?
