South Africa’s 2025/26 tourism budget is all about making tourism fair, strong, and welcoming for everyone. It supports small local businesses, improves safety and services, and brings exciting events to towns big and small. The budget honors Nelson Mandela’s dream by using tourism to fight poverty and celebrate the country’s rich culture. By working closely with communities and building global partnerships, South Africa aims to create jobs, protect heritage, and share the benefits of growth with all its people. This is a bold step toward a brighter, more inclusive future for tourism and the nation.
