The majority of international arrivals come to see the iconic Table Mountain, the beautiful Cape Peninsula and the Cape’s scenic rural areas.
As the Cape’s natural wilderness areas are the foundation of its tourism industry, their protection is critical to maintaining and growing the region’s tourism industry. The Cape fynbos ecosystems and water catchments are also a generator of vital freshwater supplies and prevent disasters such as flooding. Protecting these areas is not a luxury, but a necessity. When they are gone, the costs of providing clean and safe drinking water to urban areas will increase dramatically. The fynbos also offers further riches in its beautiful and unique wild-harvested flowers and popular indigenous herbal tea species such as rooibos and honeybush tea.
