INCENTIVES that Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube extended to tourism industry through the 2020 National Budget, will give impetus to recapitalisation efforts and enhance quality of service and product offering, the regulator and captains of industry have said.

The sector’s strategic importance stems from the fact that the tourism sector has some form of resilience to challenges that may affect other economic sectors.
