PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT TASK

GRADE 12
DAY 2

TOURISM PATS

BACKGROUND

As the world faces the devastating consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, the tourism  sector is among those severely affected. Travel is down, fear is up and the future is uncertain. 
Tourism in South Africa can be a platform for overcoming the economic challenges of the  Covid-19 pandemic. Tourism can promote peace and trust by bringing people together – key  elements in overcoming global challenges.  
There are many ways in which to rebuild the South African tourism industry. One way would  be to encourage and support young entrepreneurs to start their own businesses (start-ups). 
The 2021 PAT focuses on how you, as a young entrepreneur can play a role to ReigniteRejuvenate, Rebuild and Reposition South Africa's tourism industry. Through collaboration  (working together), start-ups and innovative tourism projects will contribute to transformation  in the tourism sector.

What is a start-up? 

A start-up is a young company with a limited budget, founded by one or more entrepreneurs to  develop a unique product or service. Start-ups use their own funding and also source (get)  additional funding from public and private investors.  
Examples of start-ups: Uber, Airbnb, etc. Innovative start-ups are changing the way in which  we travel, how we plan our trip, where we stay, how we move around, what we do, what we  read and what we eat.

SCENARIO

TOURISM PAT 2

Your start-up business will be in partnership with the farm owners, Nozizwe Mbanjwa* and  Roy Crowden* of the iZintaba Farm* and the local community near Mbombela (Nelspruit) in  Mpumalanga.
Your start-up business will be responsible for organising the 2021 AgriGames and your  partners, the farm owners, have provided the venue and infrastructure on the iZintaba farm.

The 2021 AgriGames is an event that focusses on unusual, innovative games and activities  taking place on a working farm in the Mpumalanga province over 4 days. The 2021 AgriGames will challenge participants' stamina, strength and sense of adventure.

The target market is aimed at multi-generational visitors and participants from all over South  Africa and through live streaming, will reach a wider audience.
