The tourism industry in the Western Cape is well developed with a range of accommodation including numerous 5-star hotels, guesthouses, bed & breakfast establishments, backpacker establishments and holiday apartments.

The Western Cape is also well served with international and local tour operators providing a range of touring options from general sightseeing holidays to niche travel such as medical tourism, cultural tours, etc. The Western Cape received 19,4% (or 1.8 million) of all foreign visitors to South Africa in 2007 (the latest available data) and the number of foreign visitors to the Western Cape grew at a compound annual growth rate of 3.7% between 2002 and 2007. As of 2009, the City of Cape Town shares the title of most visited African destination with Cairo.

AGRIBUSINESS

The Western Cape’s agribusiness sector is well established, diverse and consistently strong. The province produces more than 50% of national agricultural exports and 90% of South Africa’s wine. Over the next five years, food and drink consumption is set to increase considerably in the country. The Western Cape is well positioned to take advantage of this, thanks to its rich and full bodied agribusiness market.

Cape Town has a very strong business case for investors seeking a cost competitive location for food & beverage manufacturing while at the same time offering similar quality levels to Europe. Individual South African wine brands (almost exclusively established in Western Cape), as well as overall national wine brands remain strong, setting South Africa among the top wine producing countries.

Interview with Deon Cloete GENERAL MANAGER CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Were there plans in place Q for the renovation of the airport before Cape Town was announced as a world cup host city?

Yes, but we didn’t want to be in construction mode when the World Cup arrived. So we had to realign our planning accordingly. This meant that all we did was to bring some of our projects slightly forward so as to make sure it fit in well with the World Cup. Also, key to us was ensuring that all our infrastructure projects fit into the airport’s projected growth and that it would not be unnecessary developments.

In fact, over the last 10 years we’ve seen very strong organic growth, year on year, so it was important for us to build the required capacity. Cape Town International Airport currently processes 8 million passengers per annum (more or less) and now that the airport’s transformation is complete we have the capacity to process 14 million passengers – something which will stand us in good stead in future years.

Power to the People and Black Entrepreneurs

South African business owners are well aware of the importance of black economic empowerment as a key factor in winning new business. Two-thirds of Eastern Cape and Western Cape companies rank BEE as imperative according to Grant Thornton’s 2010 International Business Report, with many fast-tracking key employees and developing existing staff to achieve empowerment targets. These positive results are clearly evident as confdence, innovation and opportunities combine to yield a growing crop of black entrepreneurial talent.

poverty alleviation, empowering women and providing access to finance for wealth creation lie at the root of BEE initiatives.

B E E b a c k g r o u n d a n d rationale

All South African citizens are encouraged to participate in achieving balanced, sustainable economic growth. Poverty resulting from the systematic exclusion of African, Indian and coloured people from meaningfully participating in the economy led to wide distortions, and at a time when developing economies with similar resources were growing, South Africa was stagnating.

Forming a key part of its BEE strategy, the Department of Trade and Industry’s empowerment policy “is not simply a moral initiative to redress the wrongs of the past. It is a pragmatic growth strategy that aims to realise the country’s full economic potential. Our country requires an economy that can meet the needs of all our economic Solomon & Johannah Moriti , founders of Jo M Cosmetics citizens - our people and their enterprises - in a sustainable What is Black Economic creating conditions for the multi-level manner.
