The Tourism Sector Code is a specialized framework within the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) legislation that addresses the unique characteristics and challenges of the tourism industry in South Africa. It was developed to promote transformation and economic participation in the tourism sector.
The Tourism Sector Code applies to all tourism businesses in South Africa, including hotels, B&Bs, guesthouses, tour operators, travel agencies, restaurants, conference venues, attractions, car rental companies, and other tourism-related services. The specific requirements vary based on your annual turnover and business size.
Under the Tourism Sector Code, businesses are classified as follows: Exempted Micro Enterprises (EMEs) with annual turnover below R5 million, Qualifying Small Enterprises (QSEs) with turnover between R5 million and R45 million, and Large Enterprises with turnover above R45 million. Each category has different compliance requirements.
BBBEE certificates for tourism businesses are valid for 12 months from the date of issue. It's important to start the renewal process at least 2-3 months before expiration to ensure continuous compliance.
The Tourism Sector Code identifies three priority elements: Ownership, Skills Development, and Enterprise and Supplier Development. Large tourism enterprises must comply with all three, while QSEs must comply with Ownership (compulsory) plus either Skills Development or Enterprise and Supplier Development.
Professional BBBEE consultants specialize in certification for the tourism industry. They provide end-to-end support including initial assessment, documentation preparation, verification facilitation, certificate issuance, and ongoing compliance support tailored specifically to tourism businesses in South Africa.
