Deputy Minister Fish Mahlalela recently lauded the launch of the KwaZuluNatal leg of the Basic Quality Verification (BQV) Programme during a connection session at Africa’s Travel Indaba in Durban. The BQV Programme, which is introduced by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa (TGCSA), is designed to uplift small tourism establishments in underresourced villages, towns, and small dorpies (VTSDs) by providing them with the right training, resources, and expertise.
