Public Relations Update
We continue to build and leverage our strong network of media to generate significant positive exposure for the KZN South Coast’s many tourism assets. Through this quarter’s press releases, we have highlighted the region’s many Blue Flag beaches, outdoor experiences, MICE destinations, festive season events, and more, with coverage garnered through local and national publications, networks, and stations.
Our quick response to any media queries relating to challenges faced by the tourism industry has shown our proactive approach, with updates shared with the media to ensure positive follow-ups. This has included ongoing responses to the temporary closure of the N2 southern carriageway across the Ezimbokodweni River, as well as the reopening of the road in time for holidaymakers. We also addressed media queries regarding the devastating fire at Margate Hotel, while highlighting the facility remains open for conferences.
