Hon Chairperson, the ANC supports the budget of the Department of Tourism and in doing so, notes concerns around the reduction of the budget in line with our national response to the global recession, and believes that the exposure from the 2010 Fifa World Cup will more than compensate for this. Therefore it is confident that the industry will generate more jobs, more sustainable livelihoods, particularly in the rural areas, thus increasing their share of growth in the GDP for the benefit of all. The ANC supports this Budget Vote. I thank you.
