In essence, it's about being professional and taking care, which means don't: agree to meet alone; allow over-familiarity; give out your personal mobile number; meet informally outside working hours and away from your organisation's premises (and certainly don't do so without getting formal approval); allow too frequent contact or over familiarity that may be acceptable with friends, colleagues and family but not from people with whom you
only have a commercial relationship; discuss your private life, or social or recreational interests of you or your partner; accept offers, discounts or other services or
products by the client, customer or contractor; accept
hospitality or gifts that you yourself wouldn't pay for from your own pocket; and don't do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, obligated or might be open to misinterpretation or might be difficult to explain to your manager, a journalist or an investigator.
Wesgro CEO, Tim Harris, says that the province has seen significant investment into tourism
products from both the government and the private sector, which not
only confirms
hospitality industry's commitment to the Western Cape, but is also a strong indication that the tourism sector is going to continue its upward trajectory.
