Joe Gqabi District Municipality invites tourism stakeholders, businesses and community partners to a strategic engagement aimed at unlocking the full economic potential of our district’s tourism sector.

📍Elundini Local Municipality Council Chambers, Nqanqarhu
🕙 10:00
RSVP: ledadmin@jgdm.gov.za

Under the theme “A Competitive, Innovation-Driven, Sustainable and Inclusive Tourism for Joe Gqabi’s Future”, the conference will bring together government, investors, tourism operators and development partners to align plans, strengthen partnerships and position the district as a premier eco-tourism destination.

Tourism is a critical pillar of local economic development — supporting SMMEs, creating jobs, stimulating small-town regeneration and diversifying the district economy beyond traditional sectors.

This engagement will shape actionable programmes, investment opportunities and collaborative projects that directly benefit communities across Elundini, Senqu and Walter Sisulu.

Be part of shaping the future of the Joe Gqabi tourism economy.
