Breaking News - We have joined forces with SAT!

As of 11th May 2013, the 20th Accommodation Awards Programme for establishments in South Africa has amalgamated with the newly announced Lilizela Tourism Awards, with the category being accommodation.

What does this mean to establishments who have already signed up for these awards?

This is amazing news since it means the value of the award is far greater. The Lilizela Tourism Awards are operated by South African Tourism and the media exposure for achievers will be huge.

As before, awards will be given out at provincial and national level.

The dates of the awards events change – provincial events will be held during August and September 2013 with the national awards evening taking place in Pretoria on 26th December 2013.

The methodology applied to the judging of entries based on consumer feedback remains the same. However the categories in which awards will be given are now harmonised to the Tourism Grading Council categories of accommodation, namely

1. Hotels
2. Game Lodges
3. Self-Catering
4. Guest Houses
5. Bed & Breakfasts (B&Bs)
6. Lodges
7. Country Houses
8. Caravan & Camping
9. Backpackers

Within each category there is the potential for an award to be given at each star level.
