Tour guides are to be included in the coronavirus financial relief scheme, Tourism Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane announced.
Pretoria - Tour guides are to be included in the coronavirus financial relief scheme, Tourism Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane said on Saturday.
"As you are aware, the tour guiding sub-sector is dominated by freelancers and independent contractors with no job security, and for this reason the government relief schemes, including the tourism relief fund, did not cover them. The beneficiaries of this scheme would include tour guides registered with the registrar in terms of the Tourism Act, and tour guides not employed by any company and those that had not formed their own companies, which meant they were freelancers or independent contractors without job security.
