Johannesburg - Former Sun International chief executive Peter Bacon has been appointed chairperson of the Tourism Grading Council Awards Committee, the tourism ministry said on Sunday.
He has also been appointed as a member of the South African
Tourism board, it said in a statement.
It is a privilege to have Mr Bacon on board to help us with the
challenge to grow tourism to a major sector of the South African
economy, said Tourism Minister Marthinus van Schalkwyk.
"His experience in the hospitality industry will be of immense
value to the Tourism Grading Council and I am very pleased that he has agreed to make this important contribution to our industry," he said.

the star grading of establishments in South Africa and is a
business unit of SA Tourism.
"The quality assurance credibility of South Africa is of the
utmost importance and will be a very important factor in our
successful hosting of the Soccer World Cup in 2010, as well as the continued growth of the sector beyond 2010," said Van Schalkwyk.
