Business Chamber will promote interest of the town Mossel Bay

The business community of the town once again has a “joint voice” after the Afrikaans Business Chamber terminated a few years ago. The newly founded Mossel Bay Business Chamber will promote the interests of the town making it more competitive. We need to make Mossel Bay more attractive to investors and to create an environment for entrepreneurs to create career opportunities.We need to bring economical changes by means of education and training.

Mr. Piere Venter said the CBD must be upgraded and the residential areas must also be upgraded and cleaned

The CBD must be upgraded and made more interesting with new and exciting projects, seeing the current situation is not acceptable. Residential areas must be cleaned and upgraded. The unplanned and ugly developments give the town a bad reputation according to the chairman of the Business Chamber, Mr. Pierre Venter said to the Burger.

The town showed a phenomenal growth over the past few years and secured its position as a holiday and a retirement destination. Drastic measures are needed to upgrade and develop the business sector. It is therefore crucial to find new ways to stimulate the local economy. Especially if one bears in mind that PetroSA according to speculations will not play such a vital role in future as at present.

Mossel Bay needs to be competitive, not only localy, but global as well.

Greater emphasis will have to be placed on small businesses and industries to stimulate economic growth. A pre requisite for such a developments project is that the town and the local community must be competitive. To be competitive requires physical, intellectual and cultural assists of people with talents, skills and creativity. Mr. Pierre Venter believes that the town needs not only to be locally competitive. We need to be globally competitive with all the tourism coming from abroad. Services need to be excellent, facilities of world class standards and Mossel Bay needs to make visitors excited.

Pierre believes that the Soccer World Cup 2010 will be such an opportunity and that Mossel Bay can not afford not to benefit by it and thus grab the opportunity.
