Codes of Good Practice on Black Economic Empowerment

Tourism Sector Charter

6. Development of the Tourism Scorecard

 

(6.1) The Tourism Empowerment Council of South Africa (TECSA) was formally established by the Minister of the Environmental Affairs and Tourism to further the objectives of transformation within the Tourism Sector. To this end, TECSA was mandated to align the Tourism BEE Charter to the Generic Codes of Good Practice on B-BBEE. As a result, TECSA embarked on a nationwide consultative process to solicit views and inputs from various stakeholders in the sector which culminated in the development of this final Tourism Sector Codes. The Tourism Sector Codes will be the only basis for the application and recognition of B-BBEE initiatives undertaken by the tourism sector.

 

(6.2) The participation of all major stakeholders was encouraged and obtained in the form of submissions from various constituencies, which formed the basis for the drafting of the preliminary and final draft Scorecards.

 

(6.3) The final draft is based on the definitions, principles and methodologies of transformation outlined in the B-BBEE Act of 2003 and the Codes of Good Practice. Where there is any conflict the Codes of Good Practice take precedence.
