SUMMARY:The Green Paper on the Development and Promotion of Tourism in South Africa
DESCRIPTION:The Green Paper on the Development and Promotion of Tourism in South Africa – now open for public comment. \nFGASA as an organisation has deep connections to the tourism sector in South Africa and working relationships with both the Department of Tourism (NDT) as well as the provincial Registrars for the NDT. \nAs professionals within the tourism sector it is our responsibility to uphold and develop tourism within the country\, after all\, none of us would be here were it not for tourists. \nThe NDT gazetted the “The Green Paper on the Development and Promotion of Tourism in South Africa” for public comment before the new policies come into place. We as FGASA want to ensure that this reaches as many of our members\, friends and industry stakeholders as possible. It’s important for us all to contribute to the development of tourism in South Africa. \nWe would like to invite you all to send through your comments to us at FGASA so that we may present a formal submission for comment as a united front in delivering feedback to the NDT. As key role players in the tourism sector we believe that\, together\, we can make a difference where it matters most and assist with growth and development. \nPlease send your comments to Michelle on md@fgasa.org.za  \nTo read more about this on the Department of Tourism website please click here. \nClick here to read through the current draft for “The Green Paper on the Development and Promotion of Tourism in South Africa” \nThe deadline for comment on “The Green Paper on the Development and Promotion of Tourism in South Africa” is 31 October 2023.

SUMMARY:Future Guide Qualifications: Training Delivery Partners
DESCRIPTION:All FGASA endorsed Training Delivery Partners will be formally invited to this online session to learn more about the future of guiding qualifications within the tourism sector. We strongly recommend that this online session is attended and will be open for questions and clarification. \nTraining Delivery Partners will need to meet new criteria and re-apply with FGASA to facilitate the QCTO registered qualifications under the FGASA brand. On approval\, parties will enter into a Service Level Agreement with FGASA to deliver the facilitation of the occupational qualifications\, in line with the Quality Management System Policies and Procedures. Facilitators will need to meet the new QCTO requirements in order to facilitate training. FGASA will facilitate training opportunities for the development of facilitators to assist with this process.
