The south coast has been highlighted as a key region to develop in terms of its tourism potential.
"As the department, we are championing the concept of the 'wow Zulu' which is exposing people to the Zulu culture and how people in rural areas live. It's not just in KZN - but in other districts which is promoting tourism around the Zulu culture and heritage," he says.
