TourismSocial Event Launched

On Tuesday evening 12 August 2008 about 60 stakeholders in local tourism enjoyed a social evening hosted at the new Bela Bela Community Tourism Office at the Bela Bela Waterfront.

BBCTA EXCO wanted to show members the newly decorated office, whilst providing an opportunity for role-players in the local tourism and hospitality industry to meet and network.

The stars of the evening were undoubtedly Frans Molefe’s local Marimba Band, who entertained not only the guests at the gathering, but even other visitors to the Waterfront Restaurants, who gathered around the band playing just outside the Tourism Office.

This event was the first of several similar social gatherings planned for the following months. Elize and Dons Volschenk and their staff from Lejwe La Metsi coordinated the event and our sincerest thanks to them for this very successful evening. BBCTA members and other stakeholders may join us per invitation for these evenings – we can only accommodate about 60 persons at a time, and the next occasion will probably be in October.

Our ultimate goal is motivating everyone to work together towards promoting Bela Bela as THE tourism destination, thereby creating sustainable economic growth for the area.
