The Northern Cape Tourism Authority (NCTA) has started its summer campaign aimed at encouraging visitors and travellers to spend a day or more in the province and experience summer offerings.

The launch was held at Flamingo View on Thursday (06/12).

“The province offers great accommodation establishments in all five regions, friendly people with rich culture, historical monuments, delicious local food, beautiful scenery and open landscapes every traveller would not like to miss,” promises Sharon Lewis, CEO of the NCTA.
