The workshop targeted tourism SMMEs from across the district with the theme ‘Tourism Month – Inclusive Growth’. The objective of the summit was to create a platform for structured dialogue on issues facing SMMEs in the tourism sector and to provide knowledge and information for sustainable economic growth. Commenting on the summit, CEO for Enterprise iLembe Mr. Nathi Nkomzwayo said “The workshop allowed for engagement with tourism SMMEs on the programmes and opportunities available in the sector”. He further highlighted the need for capacity building and mentorship as well as awareness of the many programmes and incentives that are available to SMMEs in the sector.

Proud attendees of the workshop Businesses that thrive during the festive season The festive season is all but upon us, many people have given their businesses a facelift just to capitalize on the locomotion that comes with this period of the year. Missed your chance? Worry not, here are a few small businesses that do not require too much capital. You too can still make a profit to take back with you to collage or kick start the year with. Cleaning Service During the festive season thrill seekers hardly get time to clean up, they are often too busy to care about the mess they are making. As a small business person looking to earn some cash, that is where you come in. Contact a handful of people you know and tell them that if they are having a braai – you will be there the next day to clean up after them. It’s a win-win. Liquor Delivery Often times, when families come together for the festive season they don’t want to be separated, you will be surprised that some families don’t even want to be separated for as little as five minutes from each other. If you have a vehicle and know that you will be bored and probably not doing much this festive season. Offer liquor delivering services to the people you might know, and charge them of course. Beach Store This you might be too late for, especially if you want to sell drinks and food as there are beach bylaws preventing just about anyone from selling. However you can still catch up next year and follow the right channels to ensure you get a permit to sell a few goods for beachgoers. Used Goods salesperson We all have things that we no longer require, the festive season might just be the right time to let go of those. You can sell door-to-door, killing time by selling everything you deem as a surplus. What better time is there for you to sell those than when all family members are gathered under one roof? If the mother doesn’t like what you selling, the father or the kids might like it - vice versa. Ice cream/cool drinks By far the best festive season business, selling cold drinks or ice cream. This can be done at the comfort of your home. It’s as easy as putting up a sign at the gate written “Selling Ice cream” and the best part is that you can use your ordinary family fridge, to make things more fruitful for you, your family members can turn out to be your regular customers.
