On the 21st June just over 200 members attended the JAMMS session on Visitor Safety and Security at the Southern Sun Cape Sun.
The Chairperson of Cape Town Tourism, and lead Chair of JAMMS, Mr Enver Mally highlighted the importance of the JAMMS platform as a space for tourism professionals to raise pertinent issues and to have their questions answered. He highlighted the importance of planning, trust and working together as a collective to send a positive message to the industry and the visitor.
Ms Wendy Masters of the Phoenix Partnership facilitated the session, and also presented on “Trouble Shooting in Tough Times- Do visitors feel Safe and Secure in Cape Town?”. She highlighted the importance of having both planning and crisis management protocols in place before the occurrence of a crisis, the importance of speaking with one voice and delivering the same message, as well as the risks of ineffective communication.
