PLETTENBERG BAY NEWSFLASH - Plettenberg Bay residents have launched a campaign to save Plett Tourism over fears that the tourism body’s days could be numbered.
Local resident Joanne Barrett, who started the campaign, said recent decisions by the Bitou Municipality had led her and other residents to believe that local authorities had plans to oust Plett Tourism and move the tourism function in-house.
“We just cannot let this happen. Tourism is the lifeblood of our town. We want Plett Tourism, an independent body with skills in tourism and marketing and a proven track record of results, to continue its work.
"Losing Plett Tourism will affect us all very seriously,” local resident Joanne Barrett said.
Barrett is in the process of distributing a petition across the coastal holiday town to garner support for Plett Tourism.
The petition is available at various points including Frendz, Crossfit Plett, Kitten, PNA, Rogers
Jewellers SpecSavers, Robberg Fine Foods, Pick ‘n Pay Liquor, The Biltong Boutique, The Insurance and Investment Shop, Metallic Mermaid, Wimpy at Engen, The Garden Spa and Vista Lodge.
