Bayside Lodge first recipient of Green Tourism Incentive Programme in Plett

Bayside Lodge has the pleasure of sharing that the lodge is the first recipient of the Green Tourism Incentive Programme in Plettenberg Bay.

The Green Tourism Incentive Programme (GTIP) is an initiative of the Department of Tourism with a key objective of encouraging and assisting privately-owned tourism enterprises to adopt responsible tourism practices through installing solutions to reduce their energy and water consumption and costs. Learn more about the programme here.

Bayside Lodge owner, Adrienne Esterhuyse is pleased to share this good news with other tourism businesses: “We are happy to provide info and assist businesses with this great initiative from the IDC.  We are still in the process of doing the water project which is also funded.” To find out more, contact Adrienne on stay@baysidelodge.co.za.

The GTIP was initially launched in 2017 and reviewed in 2021 resulting in additional benefits to the tourism sector for the installation of solutions for the sustainable management and usage of electricity and water.
