With the
festive season fast approaching, and myriads of tourists heading to the Mother
City, the City of Cape Town has officially welcomed the scrapping of the requirement
for visitors coming to the Cape, to carry unabridged birth certificates when
traveling with minors.
The announcement
was made by the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Opportunities and
Asset Management, Alderman James Vos.
This news comes
after Home Affairs minister, Aaron Motsaledi, has signed into law that removes
the requirement for parents to carry unabridged birth certificates, or consent
letters when travelling with their children.
Vos said
on top of his agenda is to ensure the effective implementation of the Tourism
Development Framework to boost cultural experiences and help diversify tourism
products.
He also intends
to increase the already impressive number of tourists from South Africa and
other countries to decrease the number of people unemployed.
Vos says
that the City has more to offer than ever before, especially with the diverse
and heritage cultures.
