We need to start experiencing the joy of being both embedded in community and connected to the natural world.

Hermanus: The Paintball capital of South Africa

Hermanus tourism is at a cross roads.

No offense meant to the present incumbents running the tourism marketing in town, when we ask all those with tourism businesses; Do you want your coastal town to be (and represent) . . .

  • THE PAINTBALL AND QUAD-BIKE CAPITAL OF SOUTH AFRICA
  • A PLAYGROUND FOR (DELINQUENT AND DUBIOUS) 'CELEBRITY'
  • HERMANUS TURNED INTO THE 'MARGATE' OF THE WESTERN CAPE
  • OR SEE THE 'HIGH RISE' FLATS OF THE STRAND ALONG THE CLIFF PATH
  • AND SEE MORE SIGNAGE AND TRAFFIC CONGESTION

If you dont wish to see this trend continuing, get to the Hermanus Tourism Association special meeting to be help on Monday 18th July at the Municipal Auditorium at 17.30
