In an effort to promote tourism in Mpumalanga, the Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency (MTPA) hosted a media launch for Tourism Month this week.
Under the theme 'Tourism and peace, 30 years of connecting people, places and cultures', the event was held at Incwala Lodge, in the mountainous landscape of Emgwenya.
MEC for tourism, economic development and environmental affairs Makhosazane Masilela said: "This year we are celebrating 30 years of democracy so we want to connect with our people through tourism.
"We have many diverse cultures in our country and as a province, we felt we have to celebrate all the cultures without discriminating." She said one of her department's objectives was to promote domestic tourism.
