Investment and Management of Mariepskop Facilities

The Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency (MTPA) invites proposals for the investment, upgrading, operation, and management of the Mariepskop facilities, which were previously used as a military base. This opportunity encompasses a range of infrastructure, including accommodation for staff, dining facilities, and recreational amenities, all situated within a prime eco-tourism location. Bidders must demonstrate substantial financial strength, with an asset value of at least R450 million, and possess relevant experience in the hospitality and tourism sectors, ideally with a focus on adventure activities.

The successful bidder will be responsible for conducting a feasibility study, asset valuation, and condition assessment of the existing infrastructure prior to commencing upgrades. The project aims to enhance the facilities to attract more visitors while ensuring compliance with environmental guidelines and contributing to local community development. This initiative not only offers a chance for profitable investment but also plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable tourism and biodiversity conservation in the region.
