Table Mountain National Park visitor’s guide

As the end of the year approaches, more people are on leave and have time to visit some of the beautiful nature parks the Cape has to offer. As a result, Table Mountain National Park is urging all visitors to exercise caution during festive season and take note of the information below before visiting the Park.

All visitors who wish to take their dog for a walk, sport climb, paraglide, horse ride, line fish and cycle in the Park either need a day activity permit or an annual activity permit. Visitors must inform the park of any specific activities they plan on carrying out in the park, as there may be a permit that needs to be issued.

“We do not accept electronic proof of SA ID on the phone but we do accept certified copies of SA ID or driver’s license. There will be increased recreational visitors to all sites and please take note of the key information below for all sites,” the Park said in a statement.

Cape Point The Rooikrans satellite parking area will be available as overflow parking for Cape Point between December 15, 2019 and  January 5, 2020. There will be buses available to transport visitors to and from Rooikrans and they will run free between the dates mentioned.

Additional staff will be there to assist visitors with parking at Cape Point over the festive period. Visitors are encouraged to follow the directional signage that will be in place over this time frame indicating parking availability and waiting times at Cape Point.

Visitors are encouraged to visit the Park early in the day to avoid midday congestion at Cape Point and the picnic sites. A capacity allocation will be implemented at Cape Point and the gates will be closed daily when this threshold is reached.

Note that in some places in Cape Point the road markings are currently not in place due to road buildings operations – please drive with extreme caution and stick to the advertised speed limits in the Park. The beaches at Cape Point do not have lifeguards and you swim in the tidal pool or ocean at your own risk. Baboons are present in the Park. Please do not feed the baboons and make sure that all food is packed away if baboons are present.

For more information call 021 780 9100

Boulders Penguins are best viewed from the three boardwalks starting at the Boulders Visitor Centre. Visitors should pay careful attention to tides as this limits the available space on the beach. When the beach has reached capacity the gates are closed. “The high and low tides are advertised at the entrance points daily although we would encourage visitors to consider this in advance when planning to visit Boulders to avoid disappointment,” TMNP said in a statement.

“We do not have lifeguards on duty at Boulders Beach and you swim at your own risk,” it said.

Boulders Hours of operation are 7am to 7.30pm.

No gazebos or tents are allowed on the beach, only standard umbrellas. No alcohol or smoking is permitted in the Park. Note, selfie sticks are banned. “We ask you to respect the penguin’s space. Parking is limited at Boulders and the parking areas become quickly congested,” it added.

Should you encounter any traffic issues over season please contact 021 799 5100 and 021 812 4580. For more information: 021 786 2329

Silvermine No braaing is allowed in the summer months in Silvermine at the sites around the reservoir. “We, however, do allow picnicking all year round. The picnic sites around the reservoir operate on a first come first serve basis and cannot be reserved,” TMNP said.

Cycling is only allowed during gate operating hours, and not at night. Day permits for cycling are available at the Gate 1 access point. Visitors wishing to use the day permits as an access option may enter at Gate 1 only.

“Swimming is allowed in the reservoir but is at own risk and we do not have lifeguards on duty. Baboons do move through Silvermine. Please do not feed the baboons and make sure that all food is packed away if baboons are present, and opens at 7am to 7pm,” the park added.

No entry permitted after 6pm and no pass-outs allowed. A capacity allocation will be implemented at Silvermine. The policy of  ‘what you bring in, you take out’ is in place at Silvermine visitors to take their litter with them.

The Tokai Picnic site is open 365 days a year to members of the public and one is permitted to braai year round. No alcohol, music or gazebos allowed in the picnic site. Opens at 7am and closes at 8pm. No entry permitted after 4pm, and no pass-outs are allowed. No gazebos or tents are allowed, only standard umbrellas. Visitors are also urged to bring their own grid.

Baboons enter the picnic site on occasion. “Please do not feed the baboons and make sure that all food is packed away if baboons are present. Note there is an additional charge per vehicle entering the picnic site over and above per adult child or child entry fee,” the park added.

For more information contact the Tokai Picnic Kiosk on 021 715 5849. Fires may only be made in demarcated braaing sites and areas only.

The Oudekraal Picnic site is open year-round and operates on a first come first serve basis.

Cars that are parked illegally will be fined and cars that are blocking the entrance/exit for TMNP fire fighting vehicles will be towed away. An activity permit is required to walk your dog or cycle in Newlands Forest. For more information, call 021 422 1601.

Signal Hill

“Parking at Signal Hill is always challenging and we advise you to avoid the congestion that you visit the site first thing in the morning before the bulk of the tourists arrive,” TMNP said.

Wild Cards and Green Cards

Wild card and My Green card holders are reminded they are required to produce proof of identification upon entering at park gates.

“Every adult entering with a My Green card holder also has to produce a valid form of SA ID. To facilitate entry at TMNP gates with your wild card please also have your confirmation letter available on request,” the park said. “A copy of the confirmation letter can be emailed to you if you call 0861 46 9453 or 021 712 7471 A Wild Card and a My Green Card cannot be used to enter to go fishing, cycling or to walk your dog for example.”

More information and sales locations are available at  https://www.sanparks.org/parks/table_mountain/tourism/access-cards-permits.php

Visitor Safety

The Park recommends that you never carry out your activity alone and strongly recommends that you always have four or more partners with you when out hiking, trail running, cycling or horse riding, etc.

“Please load our emergency number into your phone before setting off 0861 106 417 or 107 or 021 480 7700. Let someone know which route you will follow and when to expect you to return home. Entry to the park remains at all times at your own risk,” the Park said. “Do not attract unwanted attention by openly displaying cash, cameras or other valuables. Leave footprints and take photos; leave the Park as you found it.”

For more safety hiking tips please follow this link: https://www.sanparks.org/parks/table_mountain/tourism/safe_hiking.php

“We are in fire season and ask that you be vigilant at all times. Should you notice a fire anywhere on the mountain please call the TMNP emergency number at 086 110 6417 or 107 from a landline and 021 480 7700 from a mobile phone,” the TMNP said. “Please do not attempt to fight the fire on your own.”

What this guide 1 will tell you

This guide 1 will help you understand why tourism matters, some key questions you may need to ask and answer, and some ways to fill evidence gaps, such as utilising other partner's resources. Continue reading below to follow our steps to success.

Steps to success

Why this matters.

Every business school in the world teaches, 'If you can't measure it, you can't manage it'. You cannot manage tourism or help shape it in progressive ways without having a basic understanding of what it is, how it affects people and places, and what it can potentially become with some inspired and progressive interventions. To ensure the scarce resources available for tourism development and heritage protection are utilized to their full effect, it is crucial a unified understanding exists across each destination regarding what is successful, what does not work, and what sustainable opportunities exist for growth or development. Not all tourism is good tourism; some forms of tourism are much more sustainable, while others may have a negative effect on the surrounding environment if not managed properly.

Almost all potential sites can benefit from better evidence and data – this is not just a heritage management issue, but a tourism destination issue. It is necessary you work to gather this information . Other places similar to your sites have successfully addressed these questions, and often with limited resources. You may find the examples most relevant to your situation in our Resources page .

Start with the basics define your terms of reference

Be clear on where and what your 'destination' is . A destination is the physical space in which a tourist spends their holiday or vacation. It includes a full range of services, products and experiences :

• The attractions people visit
• The accommodation in which they stay
• The transport arrival hubs
• The food and drink establishments utilised
• The retail outlets in which they shop
• The museums and galleries they visit
• Even the city, town, village, or homes where the local community resides.

A World Heritage site (WHS) can be a destination in itself. However, more often it is located in, or part of, a wider venue, forming the key , or one of the key, attractions of the place concerned. The UNESCO World Heritage and Sustainable Tourism Programme is based on the need to manage tourism at a destination scale – managing the issues simply within the boundaries of the World Heritage sites would be ineffective.

Defining your broader destination is extremely important in building foundations for sustainable tourism, and it can be particularly helpful to look at how other places have done this already. For example , Angkor Wat WHS is the attraction, but Siem Reap is the destination, or Uluru Kata Tjuta WHS (formerly known as Ayers Rock) is the attraction, while Alice Springs is the destination.

We offer guidance below that addresses tourism challenges at a destination scale. Therefore, it will be important to know and understand the geography of your location  - where it begins and also where it ends.

How much do you know about the destination?

Here are some basic questions you will need to answer about your destination. It may be useful to list your answers in a separate document to refer back to later.

Can you answer all of the following?

• How many tourists do you receive per year?
• How long do they stay in your destination?
• Who are your tourists? Where do they come from?
• Are you attracting the most advantageous segments of the tourism market? How do you perform relative to other comparable destinations?
• How do tourists arrive and move around your destination? Where do they go to afterwards?
• What are their motivations for coming? What do they know about your site?
• What do they care about? Do they understand your outstanding universal value (OUV)?
• What are the positive and negative social, economic, cultural, and ecological impacts caused by visitors? How do they affect the heritage management of the site?
• Where, and by whom or what, are these impacts experienced?
• How many people can your site/destination sustainably cope with and manage?
• Do you understand the scale, quality, capacity, and location of your tourism infrastructure (hotels, restaurants, travel providers, food and drink, leisure, retail)?
• How do your visitors spend their money? Who benefits from this spending? Who does not benefit?
• Who picks up the costs of the heritage?
• Who or what entity must be part of a partnership that would bring about positive changes to your destination?

If you cannot answer these questions , or similar questions specific to your site, you must dedicate some time to trying to find these answers before attempting to change anything. These answers will help you gather the necessary information to begin managing tourism in your location at a destination scale.

The four crucial issues you need to measure and understand, and why

Understanding tourism is the first step to managing your site more effectively. Surprisingly, few World Heritage sites collect accurate data on key tourism indicators. Good data is the key to both being able to monitor threats to the site or the host community, and ensuring interventions are effectively targeted. The following four topics are crucial to fully understanding tourism possibilities at your destination.

1) Supply side

To manage tourism effectively, destinations need to understand the supply side of the process – which involves undertaking an inventory of tourism assets and infrastructure, while assessing the scope for growth and the changes over time. The effectiveness of a destination relies on securing revenue and is heavily dependent upon the location, scale, capacity, and quality of the accommodation, transport system, food and drink, retail, leisure experiences, and visitor attractions. Every destination should have a simple and up to date inventory of its tourism assets and visitor attractions.

2) Demand side

Sites must also understand the demand side of the tourism sector :

• How many people want to visit? Is the demand growing or declining?
• Who are the visitors, and when do they visit?
• Why do they come, and how long do they stay?
• How much do they spend and what do they purchase?
• Where do they come from?
• What do they want to experience, and how do they learn about the site, its values, and the host community?
• Are visitors satisfied with the experience?
• How is all of this changing over time, and does the destination attract the most advantageous visitor segments?

This information is crucial because you may need to use it later for new investment possibilities and new or updated infrastructure . All destinations should at the very least measure visitor satisfaction levels.

3) Community voice – community impacts

It is critical that destinations think carefully about the potential positive and negative impacts that tourism may have on the host community and their intangible cultural heritage. Communicate with the host community to understand their needs, concerns, and aspirations. It is a basic tenet of sustainable tourism that host communities have a voice in shaping the tourism processes that affect them. There is tendency to think about the community's wishes after everything has already been decided – this is a grave mistake and one likely to breed mistrust and apathy on the part of local residents.

4) Heritage, cultural, social, and ecological impacts

Perhaps the most important issue when talking about World Heritage sites is understanding the heritage – what can and cannot happen in its proximity. We would hope that every site has a Heritage Management Plan that is clear about the impacts and opportunities that result from tourism, as well as the areas of concern and issues to be addressed. It is critical for effective heritage management that destination personnel understand and monitor the past, present, and potential future ecological, cultural, and social impacts of tourism. In many sites there will be ways to sustainably manage tourism and tourism growth, but site managers need to understand the point at which impacts are destructive and require intervention. The degree to which tourism businesses provide local career opportunities (with fair wages), equal opportunities, and occupational safety are important and worthy of analysis. Think carefully about 'liveability' as well as the visitor experience. It is also important to monitor risks and negative impacts over time so that areas of concern can be managed in the appropriate way at the appropriate times.

These four areas of action are critical to effective destination management . Every World Heritage site destination should evaluate their knowledge and understanding on these issues. This is not simply some form of onerous conservation regulation. It is as much about developing and managing the destination for the benefit of its businesses and host community, as it is about raising awareness concerning what can and cannot happen at sites recognised as the world's most important and valued historic places or natural landscapes.

Bring together the key data and evidence on your destination in one place

Create a simple inventory of the available evidence on tourism issues in the destination. This will save a lot of time for stakeholders and is a useful exercise for a conservation or management body, as well as for a commercial business.

Knowledge and understanding is powerful so spread it across the destination. Most tourism macro data is not market sensitive. It can usually be shared and analysed publically with no ill effects for the destination (though it may reveal certain weaknesses or difficulties if the destination is doing things less well than it should be). Surprisingly few World Heritage destinations can answer any or all of these questions with any supporting evidence. We would, therefore, recommend that you bring together any available evidence on the destination and make it accessible, as it will empower businesses and others to think strategically about the performance of the tourism sector.

Assess objectively whether enough is known about tourism in your destination

What are the gaps in your knowledge and evidence?

It will become apparent relatively quickly which key questions you cannot answer with the evidence currently available. Make a simple list of the topics you know and understand. Continue with a list of those you do not know, but think would be useful to know. This list is rather important for the stages that follow because you will be able to engage other partners in helping you fill the information gaps you find.

Who can fill the data/evidence gaps?

Identify, link, and connect different stakeholders who have an interest in better tourism. There are many ways to collect data without spending a large sum of money. Many World Heritage sites will be able to establish relationships with local or international universities, colleges, and schools, as well as private businesses willing to devote time, effort, and money to understanding tourism and its associated issues with supporting evidence. If all else fails, engaging interns and volunteers to use simple but robust survey techniques can shed light on the tourism market for the destination as a whole.

The point is that often there are other organisations willing to use the destination as a research location, creating a mutually beneficial relationship for all parties involved. Some destinations already have established Evidence and Impact Forums for interested specialist parties and academics; if asked, a surprisingly wide range of stakeholders could be interested in helping you undertake this research.

Some ways to get started

Do not be daunted by the number of things you do not know… begin your evidence gathering and analysis . You may even start to answer some of the key questions by simply buying a clipboard, standing on the street, and asking visitors some polite questions. If you can ask a couple hundred visitors the right questions , then you will begin formulating insights into tourism at your destination. Likewise, if you contact around 20 tourism businesses via face-to-face interviews or through an online survey , you will begin to create a picture of what is happening at your destination, what is working, and what is not. Simple observations can reveal a great deal – get a map and mark observations concerning crowding, litter, deterioration of the historic environment, or poor visitor experiences. Your efforts may not meet the highest standards of social science, but this is not important.

Some destinations will, of course, be well resourced to hire professional teams of experts to undertake robust analysis of these issues – and that is to be encouraged where possible – but most destinations have to do their best with a range of practical, DIY, and partner solutions. We are not demanding perfect analysis. Rather, we are arguing that some form is essential . If you are lacking an available human workforce, you may encourage visitors to fill out a short survey when booking with hotels or agencies, or leave one in their hotel rooms. If incentivised , perhaps with the possibility of winning tickets to a local show or a free dinner, it has been shown that people are far more likely to complete such surveys. The luckiest, or best-managed locations may already have a destination management organisation happy to lead a data gathering project on tourism, and their work may simply need to be influenced by heritage professionals to widen its scope.

As you gather new evidence make it public . However small your samples or tentative your conclusions, you should make these public so others can respond , help you widen the survey base, or simply disagree with your findings and replace the information with something better. Knowledge is never perfect or finished; it is the process of learning and finding the information that matters.

Assess sustainability meaningfully- can tourism ever be sustainable at your site?

Now that you are collecting and analyzing data, consider whether there are ways other than tourism to share your site and give your community a good quality of life. The global environment faces profound challenges due to our addiction to travel and the consumption of resources at unsustainable levels . Planes, trains, cars, and other forms of transport are a significant contributor to climate change through the burning of fossil fuels, and many communities face significant challenges in terms of water usage and the disposal of waste water and other solid wastes. The world is experiencing unprecedented levels of species extinction through habitat loss for food production, pollution, and over fishing, so now more than ever you need to assess whether you can justify tourism. If you are, in fact, able to do so, assess what kind of tourism can be accommodated that does not contribute negatively to the situation, either directly on a local basis or through externalities (e.g. CO2 emissions) on a global basis.

We need a new kind of tourism that does not contribute to environmental damage, climate change, pollution, and loss of ecosystems. Some sites are already making the tough decision not to open complete access to visitors. Instead they have chosen to share their stories and values through a greater online presence, or offering remote access to the site with accompanying narrative guides– for instance, St Kilda in Scotland is one example. When gathering data to understand tourism in your destination do not duck the toughest question of all – face it and think about it. If the need for tourism is so great and is effectively unavoidable for your community, then think about how you can manage or prevent its direct effects on a local basis. In parallel, find ways to offset or mitigate its externalities on a global basis, such as a scheme for carbon offsetting.
