Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>SANParks, which manages South Africa’s 20 national parks, on Thursday gave more details of the more than 100 projects for which it is seeking public-private partnerships.<\/p>\n

The opportunities outlined are set to be rolled out over the next ten years in 14 national parks. There are 123 in total and include accommodation, retail, restaurants and multi-use facilities and activities. Partners are also sought for building and infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

New deals are on offer relating to various lodges and camping facilities in the Kruger National Park, while concessions are on offer for tourism activities like a spa to be created in northern region of the park, guided quad biking trails, adventure motorcycle tours, and mountain biking activities.<\/p>\n

There are also opportunities in Marakele National Park in Limpopo – to build a halaal-compliant lodge and other accommodation – Golden Gate Highlands National Park in the Free State, Addo Elephant National Park in the Eastern Cape and in the Augrabies Falls National National Park in the Northern Cape.<\/p>\n

In the Table Mountain National Park, investment opportunities are available at the Hoerikwagga accommodation, the Cape Point visitor accommodation and at the Da Gama Peak.<\/p>\n

Interested investors or applicants for concessions are invited to contact SANParks and submit viable and affordable proposals, SANParks said. A catalogue with a full list of available opportunities will be made available on the SANParks website.<\/p>\n

The government introduced public-private partnerships as a mechanism to improve infrastructure, service delivery and the efficient use of under-utilised state assets.<\/p>\n

During a SANParks Investment Summit hosted on Thursday, Minister of Environmental Affairs Barbara Creecy said SANParks held its first Tourism Investment Summit in 2017 as part of its drive to attract a diversity of investors to its Public-Private Partnership Programme. Creecy described national parks as “important catalysts for economic development”, especially in rural areas, where many of the parks are located.<\/p>\n

SANParks employs over 4 000 employees and SANParks concessionaires employ another 2 100 people.<\/p>\n

Since 2000, more than 60 such PPPs have been established for accommodation, restaurants, open safari vehicles and other activities, according to SANParks spokesperson Rey Thakhuli.<\/p>\n

These projects have so far contributed around R1.4 billion to SANParks.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the PPPs increased the value of infrastructure assets by R955 million, Fin24 previously reported.<\/p>\n

According to SANParks board chair Pam Yako, the management of protected areas through a system of national parks is also a key tool for biodiversity conservation.<\/p>\n
