The How-To Guide
The City of Cape Town has worked with the local tourism industry to develop a Responsible Tourism in Cape Town How-To Guide. It shares information on how the tourism industry can take action to make our City and its tourism facilities, services and products more responsible, while also helping ensure that our tourism sector keeps pace with international trends towards responsible business practice.
The How-To Guide has been published by the City of Cape Town to encourage and motivate tourism businesses in the city to manage their operations and market their establishments more responsibly. It is designed to be a straightforward first guide to implementing responsible tourism, with further helpful information on responsible tourism principles and terms.
The How-To Guide is available free for download as PDF.
