A new cohort of Tourism Safety Officers has graduated in Nelson Mandela Bay as part of efforts to strengthen visitor safety and improve confidence in the destination.
They will be deployed across key tourism nodes, including the beachfront, where they will work alongside law enforcement agencies to improve visibility, deter crime and enhance the visitor experience.
The officers are the latest to complete training through the Nelson Mandela Bay Coastal Tourism Policing Initiative, a partnership between the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, Mandela Bay Development Agency, Tourism Business Council of South Africa TBCSA, South African Police Service, Metro Police and local tourism stakeholders.
