Toti ticks tourists’ boxes
This festive season, locals and visitors will have the usually array of entertainment options on offer from SCTT.
With accommodation establishments already fully booked out, this bodes well for local business coffers this festive season.
“Having visitors to Toti complete our surveys last December and Easter helped us a lot to cater for future visitors’ needs, as it’s important for us to have a yardstick and know what they want,” said Sapphire Coast Toti Tourism (SCTT) chairman, Jacques van Schalkwyk.
“What is in our favour as a preferred holiday destination is the price of our accommodation and its availability, as families can afford to come to Toti on holiday. We also have many beautiful beaches for them to choose to visit, close to their accommodation.”
