1. Invitation “Come share our Heritage!”

2. In 2008 The North West Parks and Tourism Board realised 10 years of existence. Through the amalgamation of government services in 1997 (ex-North West Parks Board, ex-North West Tourism Council, former TPA and CPA) not only were essential services brought together but they also paved a way to ensure successful accomplishments collectively. We have achieved much that we are proud of and feel it appropriate to celebrate our accomplishments. We have not only seen growth, transformation and maturity in these 10 years but have also returned the North West Province into the global arena, and positioned it among South Africa's world tourist destinations of choice! It is therefore with honour that we invite you to celebrate with us and share the spectacular showcase of our Heritage as we Take Pride in Laying the Foundation and Building Partnerships for Tourism and Conservation Growth!
