Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank the hon Minister for his response. When the Portfolio Committee on Tourism visited the Northern Cape, which is one of the least visited provinces, the provincial department responsible for tourism lamented the fact that the bigger cities, and they referred in particular to Gauteng province, that receives most of the foreign travellers coming into the country, do not share the travellers with the least visited provinces.
In this case, I refer to the Northern Cape. The Northern Cape also boasts many tourist attractions. Does the Minister consider this a reasonable expectation by these provinces, that the bigger cities with international airports should also promote visits to tourist attractions located in the less visited provinces? If so, how do you think this can be achieved? I thank you.
