Green Tourism Incentive Programme applications open
The Green Tourism Incentive Programme (GTIP) is an initiative of the National Department of Tourism with a key objective of encouraging privately-owned tourism enterprises to move towards cleaner and renewable energy sources and the efficient utilization of water.
Managed by the IDC, financial assistance under the GTIP is provided in the form of a grant of up to R1 million to qualifying small and micro tourism enterprises.
Through grant funding, the GTIP assists private sector tourism enterprises in reducing the cost of investing in more energy and water-efficient operations, while increasing their competitiveness, profitability and operational sustainability in the long term.⠀
The next application window for the Tourism Green Incentive Programme will open from 02 September to 31 March 2020.⠀
Detailed info on the GTIP, as well as an application form, can be downloaded from the IDC Website
