1. Local guidelines and laws need to be applied and enforced to the benefit of local service providers to a greater extent than is the case today.

2. Stakeholders need to be involved in spatial planning processes to a greater extent.

3. A more robust system of certification of tourism operators should be developed. This would serve to ensure that standards, pertaining to health, safety and employee training, are maintained and enforced.
