Fair Trade in Tourism SA announced that !Khwa ttu San Culture and Education Centre received their certification, which is the most credible independent assessment of being a responsible tourism practitioner. This is good news for !Khwa ttu, who provide a high-quality and interactive experience for visitors to learn about traditional and contemporary San cultures and languages.They're located just an hour's drive north of Cape Town but so many visitors don't take advantage of the chance to engage with these authentic, indigenous African cultures that are native to the Cape as well as much of southern Africa. Many locals don't even know it exists just up the R27. It's a great place to go and spend half a day or a full day and overnight - quality of facilities, guides, food, accommodation, and so on are to a high standard.
They've chosen a tough road as an institution with a mission, and while I understand they continue to wrestle with the socio-economic and cultural issues behind the scenes, it's good to see them recognised for their good work on the tourism front - hopefully this will give them added momentum and awareness to help with their broader mission.
