A New hotel is set to attract more tourists in Mpumalanga.
Premier Refilwe Mtshweni-Tsipane during her state of province address, maintained that Kruger Mpumalanga Airport would receive direct flights from Germany as part of reigning the tourism sector.
“I am delighted to confirm that the first Eurowings flight landed on the 16th of November 2022. To date we have received a total of 182 direct tourists as a result of this partnership. We are planning to collaborate with both Eurowings and South African Tourism in a City to City tour in Europe to attract more tourists to our province,” she said.
She said significant progress has been made in the development of a new hotel and conference facility in Middelburg that she had pronounced during last year’s State of the Province Address.
“The construction has started and we anticipate completion will be reached in July this year. This is a 5 Star Hotel will have over 200 beds, top star restaurants, a convention centre and a beauty spa. The project has over 20 local contractors that are already benefiting. In addition , over 100 new job opportunities for local residents have been created,” she said.
She said one of the key sites whose construction will commence in March is the God’s Window Skywalk which’s a PPP project aimed at attracting between 45 000 and 60 000 tourists along the panorama tourism route.
“The project is planned to be completed in March 2025. Another PPP project is the development of a cable car linking Drie – rondavels views view site and Swadini Dam. In Barberton Makhonjwa Mountain World Heritage site, we will be building an education centre, geo sites and geo – trails in order to make the site appealing to academic tourists interested in anthropology,” she said.
