The Department of Tourism, in collaboration with the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa (TGCSA), is pleased to relaunch the Tourism Grading Support Programme (TGSP). As part of the national Tourism Incentive Programme, the TGSP helps tourism businesses across South Africa access official grading by offering significant discounts on TGCSA grading fees. Being graded improves a business’s visibility, enhances customer trust, and opens the door to broader market opportunities.
Accommodation and conferencing establishments — whether applying for grading for the first time or renewing an existing TGCSA grading — may qualify for an 80% discount. Businesses that contribute to the TOMSA levy can receive an additional 10% discount, bringing the total saving to up to 90%. The programme is open from 11 July 2025 until 30 March 2026, or until the allocated funding has been used.
To apply for tourism grading support, visit www.tourismgrading.co.za/apply-now. The online system will guide you through the process, prompt you to upload the required documents, and confirm your participation in the programme.
