Simonstown.com hosted Professor Harold Goodwin, pictured, to talk about Responsible Tourism on Monday April 7. Some of the interactive discussion centred on sustainability and pointers regarding potential over tourism and strategies to adopt to ensure that increasingly popular destinations remain good places to live, as well as to visit. He also talked about the importance of a ‘sense of place’, and how to play to strengths in promoting Simon’s Town and surrounds. Steph Mellor of simonstown.com said: "It is evident that there should ideally be collaboration between all the different stakeholders to achieve these objectives, and this is something to which we be applying our minds going forward." The event was attended by representatives of Simon's Town Amenities Development Company (STADCO), Simon’s Town Historical Society, Simon’s Town Civic Association, local businesses and more.
