The Star reports that Deputy Minister of Tourism, Fish Mahlalela, has launched the 13th edition of the National Tourism Careers Expo (NTCE) 2023, which is scheduled to run from 29 September to 1 October at the Johannesburg Expo Centre (Nasrec).
The event is expected to attract thousands of learners to bridge the information gap between the tourism industry and learners. In his address, Mahlalela said his department wanted to use the expo to drive the goal of the National Tourism Sector Strategy to create an additional 300,000 tourism job opportunities by 2026. Coinciding with Heritage and Tourism Month, the event was launched at the iconic Maropeng Visitor Centre, Cradle of Humankind, west of Joburg. The event, considered one of the country’s flagship career exhibitions, will follow the theme, "Tourism Investments for People, Planet, and Prosperity". Mahlalela said the theme was chosen to highlight how the government, sector stakeholders, and the private sector have invested in tourism to drive initiatives that create opportunities. He highlighted that tourism offered limitless career opportunities, which ranged from food and beverage to cruise ships, transport, adventure tourism, travel trade, events and conferences, tour operators, tourism entrepreneurs, and travel bloggers.
