September is Tourism Month!
Tourism Month is celebrated annually in September and highlights South Africa's diverse tourism offerings, and the sector's significant contribution to the country's economy.
This year the theme is “Tourism for inclusive growth” - "tourism is open for everyone to enjoy and we must strive to make the many social and economic benefits that it brings, available to everybody."
Ceres Tourism would like to encourage everyone to celebrate Tourism month and World Tourism Day on 27 September, by being a tourist in their own town or area.
The purpose of World Tourism Day is also to create awareness on the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic value.
When last did you visit the Ceres Togryers Museum (no entrance fee for locals) and did you know that you can taste more than 6 different cider flavours at Loxtonia Cider?
There is a whole range of attractions and activities right at your doorstep for you to explore - ziplining; hiking & mountain biking trails; 4x4 routes; wine, beer & cider tasting facilities and many more.
By exploring your own town and area, you will not only support local businesses, but boost the local economy. So, start planning your trip and get traveling!
If you would also like to know how you or your business can be part of tourism, please contact us.
