An above average season is\r\nanticipated which is expected to inject R2,5 billion into the regional economy.<br><br>Today, the MEC for Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs Siboniso\r\nDuma is spending time in M Section in Umlazi Township as part of promoting township\r\ntourism.<br><br>Tourism KwaZulu-Natal\u2019s research insights estimate that average occupancy rates for the\r\nprovince will be around 65%; that 600 000 people will visit the province; of these domestic\r\ntravellers will account for 548 000 trips and international visitor 52 000 trips.<br><br>\u201cThis follows a good festive season in which provincial occupancy rates peaked at 77,2%\r\nwith holidaymakers providing an economic boost of R3,38 billion, said MEC Duma.<br><br>\u201cDuring the December-January holiday period the most popular KZN destinations were the\r\nnorth and south coasts and the Drakensberg which enjoyed high occupancy levels. iLembe\r\nachieved 88%, Ugu 85%, uMkhanyakude 79%, uThukela 72% and Harry Gwala 71% and\r\nwe are expecting a similar spread of holiday makers this Easter,\u201d he said.<br><br>When making the Easter predictions the most recent increase in the fuel price and the high\r\ncost of living which is impacting on family budgets have been considered.<br><br>March and April are a perfect time to visit KZN before the winter set in. In the lead up to\r\nautumn, the weather is milder but still warm, making it a perfect time to catch the last days\r\nsummer and enjoy plenty of activities that are guaranteed to keep visitors captivated.<br><br>Hoteliers are confident that they will have a good Easter. According to FEDHASA eastern\r\nregion chairman Brett Tungay, hotel bookings picked up as the school holiday approached.<br><br>The weekend of March 23-24 hotels enjoyed a 70% to 90% occupancy and are looking\r\nforward to an 80% to 100% occupancy over the weekend. For the week between weekends\r\noccupancy is expected to be around 50%, he said.<br><br>The central Drakensberg and surrounds were virtually sold-out with the Jazz at the Berg\r\nwhich took place on Saturday 23 March, attracting thousands of music lovers from across\r\nthe country.<br><br>\u201cThis is a great example of how major events like this, Splashy Fen and Joyous Celebration\r\nExtravaganza, which take place from March 28, attract visitors to various regions, filling up\r\naccommodation, restaurants, driving geographic spread and stimulating the local economy,\u201d\r\nsaid MEC Duma.<br><br>He further revealed: \u201cThe KZN Sharks Board has been deploying the sharks net and the\r\ncutting edge technology to ensure the safety of the bathers in our beaches. This under\r\nunderscores the importance of beach tourism as a central pillar of economic development in\r\nthe KZN Province.\u201d<br><br>For those planning a trip to the coast to soak up the sun on the beach, a reminder that the\r\nprovince has 600km of coastline with pristine blue flag beaches on the South Coast in the\r\nUgu district and on the North Coast in the iLembe District.<br><br>Good news for those heading to Durban is that city\u2019s much-loved aquarium uShaka Marine\r\nWorld has reopened.
