The mandate of the Gauteng Tourism Authority (GTA) is to position Gauteng Province as a globally competitive tourism destination. In pursuit of this mandate, the GTA develops programmatic interventions structured around destination marketing, visitor services and the events industry to enhance Gauteng attractiveness as a business and leisure tourism destination. GTAs mandate is derived from the Gauteng Tourism Act, which also establishes the Board of the Gauteng Tourism Authority. From a governance perspective, the Board is responsible for oversight over the management and operations of GTA.
