She told eTNW that the summer period of was undoubtedly a trying time for the citizens and businesses of Cape Town and the Western Cape, adding; “If another drought does occur, we have put in place measures to be even more resilient.”

In 2019, Wesgro ran a research study with 600 travel and tourism businesses to understand what questions their clients were asking about Cape Town and the Western Cape.

As a result, a website was developed to assist the industry and tourism stakeholders with the information requested by their clients to help answer questions.
