BEHIND EVERY GREAT GETAWAY IS A COMMUNITY MAKING IT HAPPEN.

Ever thought about how many people help make a holiday memorable? Next time you plan a getaway, think beyond where you'll stay. 👨‍🍳

There's the person welcoming you to your accommodation, the chef preparing your meal, the guide sharing local knowledge, the shop owner selling handmade goods and the team keeping our beaches and attractions ready for visitors. 🧭

Tourism connects all these people and businesses, creating employment, supporting families and opening doors for young people to gain skills and build careers in hospitality and tourism. 📊

And its impact doesn't stop in our towns. When travellers venture beyond the usual destinations, they create opportunities for rural communities, emerging entrepreneurs and local cultural experiences to grow. 🦒

That's why supporting local tourism matters. Booking directly with local establishments, buying from local producers, choosing local guides and recommending small businesses can all help keep these opportunities alive. 🪘

Discover the people, places and experiences that make the Sunshine Coast of the Eastern Cape special. 🧭

Who has made your Sunshine Coast visit extra special? Tell us about them or tag the local business that made you feel welcome. 💚

Juan Pretorius Architecture provides valuable insight to making local landmarks, like the Kowie River, easily accessible.

The Kowie River is one of Port Alfred’s greatest assets - 22km of navigable water, hidden coves, and incredible birdlife. While it already supports kayaking, canoeing, and river cruises, public access remains informal, hard to find, and lacking basic facilities like proper launch decks, clear signage, or shade.

Case Study 03: Kowie River Public Access

What if the river had a dedicated, well-designed public gateway?

For Tourism: A proper launch deck makes Port Alfred’s eco-tourism potential far easier to market and enjoy, especially for day visitors.

For the Local Economy: Clear, accessible infrastructure directly supports local guides, kayak operators, and small businesses.

Sometimes the biggest opportunity isn’t building a brand-new attraction, it’s making an existing masterpiece easier to reach.

YOUR HOLIDAY SPENDING GOES FURTHER THAN YOU THINK! 🌊💚

That coffee at your favourite local café, a weekend away at a family-run guesthouse, dinner at a neighbourhood restaurant or a guided adventure with a local tour operator. Every choice you make as a traveller helps keep our local economy moving.

Tourism creates opportunities for people across the Eastern Cape, from accommodation owners and restaurant staff to local guides, artists, transport providers and small business owners.

When we choose to explore our own backyard, support local businesses and recommend our favourite spots to friends, we're helping create livelihoods and keep our communities thriving.

You don't have to travel far to make a difference. Sometimes, the best way to support our province is to discover more of it. ❤️

📍 From Port Alfred and Bathurst to Kenton-on-Sea, Alexandria, Boknes, Cannon Rocks, Bushmans River and Kleinemonde, there's plenty to explore right here on the Sunshine Coast.

Your next local adventure could make someone's day; and support their livelihood, too!

A SAFER COMMUNITY STARTS WITH ALL OF US!

Safety and security are everyone’s responsibility, and the more informed we are, the better we can protect our families, homes and community.

This Friday, 16 October, Multi Security will be hosting its 2nd Security Expo at the Royal Port Alfred Golf Club from 10:30 to 15:30.

We would like to extend an open invitation to the entire community to come along, meet industry experts, explore the latest security technology and learn about the different solutions available to help keep us safe.

This event is about more than security products or services. It’s about sharing knowledge, creating awareness and working towards a safer community for everyone.

Regardless of who provides your security, everyone is welcome!

📅 Friday, 16 October 2026
📍 Royal Port Alfred Golf Club
⏰ 10:30 – 15:30

Because at the end of the day, we all share the same community, and we all want it to be safe.
