ASATA will host its next annual
conference in Durban.
In October last year, ceo Otto
de Vries said the association was
considering boycotting KwaZulu
Natal for the convention if KZN’s
MEC of Economic Development,
Tourism and Environmental Affairs,
Michael Mabuyakhulu, pushed
ahead with a proposed 10%
hospitality levy to be implemented
in April.
Although the MEC has not
withdrawn his intention to impose
the levy, Asata told TNW there had
been positive discussions with
provincial authorities and, as a
result, had decided to go ahead with
the conference there.
The conference will be held at the
Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani
hotel from May 22 to 25.
