Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency introduces cashless systems in all nature reserves

The Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency (MTPA) announced that from 1 September a cashless system will be implemented at its visitor information centre and all of its nature reserves.

The cashless system will ensure optimal revenue collection, as well as the safety of the MTPA employees and tourists who will not have to carry cash with them when travelling.
