SA Tourism’s planned sponsorship deal with Tottenham hotspur is cancelled.
The South African Tourism Board has agreed not to proceed with the Tottenham Hotspur FC sponsorship proposal as advised by Tourism Minister Patricia de Lille.
“The SA Tourism Board will no longer proceed with the transaction, nor will it seek the concomitant requisite approvals for the proposed transaction,” De Lille said. “Our justification for any significant spending must still make sense in terms of the broader economic climate we find ourselves in as a country.
De Lille said she will continue engaging SA Tourism and the department in more detail on the department’s budget to ensure that they fulfil the department’s mandate of growing visitor numbers to South Africa, providing the necessary support to enable growth, increase job creation and increase the sector’s contribution to the economy.
