The safety of our visitors is essential! This was made clear at a recent safety meeting in Hout Bay, lead by the Hout Bay Neighbourhood Watch (HBNW).
The Hout Bay Community is pro-actively involved in “Project Visitor Safety” and they are claiming their village back from all criminals and are working inline with Cape Town Tourism and the Department of Economic Development & Tourism’s initiatives to ensure that tourism product owners are actively involved in providing practical advice to their guests when visiting Cape Town.
In September 2006, the South African Police Services (SAPS) released its National report that contact crime showed significant decreases.
Crime prevention in South Africa is based on the principles of community policing, meaning partnerships between the community and the SAPS, which strengthen existing community police forums.
We are expecting a bumper season – as it has been difficult to find empty accommodation establishments in Hout Bay and we therefore want to ensure that our guests will have a safe and superb holiday in one of South Africa’s most attractive seaside resort towns.
