UNITES A SECTOR IN NEED

BY LINSEY SCHLUTER

he TBCSA predicts that 600 000
tourism jobs could be lost this year
alone, which would be a devastating
Treality for anyone working in the
sector. But in true South African spirit, people
are pulling together – and nowhere is this
more evident than in the launch of Mzansi
Tourism Champions, an online platform
dedicated to championing the needs of those
working in the tourism field.
Heinie Bosman, one of the founders, says that
Mzansi Tourism Champions is a collaborative
effort across sectors, which hopes to bring
immediate support or relief to immediate
problems.

“The website matches people in need
with people who can help. It’s very much a
platform of ‘asks’ and ‘answers’. We hope that,
by building a network of people who can
offer skills, advice and monetary donations,
we’ll all be able to weather the storm.”
