GARDEN ROUTE | KAROO NEWS - Spearheaded by the Garden Route District Municipality Council (GRDM) and private sector partners, the Royal Garden Route outreach initiative, aimed at connecting with the regional hospitality industry, ended on a high note on Sunday in Mossel Bay.
In a series of events and meetings, councillors and interested and effected parties in the hospitality industry met up with some forty business managers and owners throughout the Garden Route, following a tourist-friendly route called the Blue Sky Route (see Blue Sky Route on Facebook).
The Garden Route is set to experience a bumper festive season following two years of hardship as a result of national lockdown regulations, which had a devastating effect on the viability of the regional tourism value chain.
The Garden Route is determined to become a world-renowned standalone destination, and the value proposition it offers in terms of its remarkable natural scenery, hospitality infrastructure and high standard of services has created a platform for growth.
Royal Garden Route was spearheaded by GRDM councillors Cobus Meiring and Coenraad Swart, with support gratefully received from sponsors in the regional private sector.
For details about this great initiative and all the wonderful stops en route as well as beautiful photographs, be sure to visit the Facebook page, Blue Sky Route.
