Tourism and Hospitality

M3 Holdings envisaged the establishment of integrated quality state of the art resorts to primarily serve ordinary people as well as tourists / patrons / customers and travelers in transit. Under the theme “Emngcebelekweni” – meaning relaxation and fun, the resort/s are designed to create frill moments for variety of customers of all ages, including individuals, corporations, businesses, schools and special interest groups.

The Emngcebelekweni resort/s will offer its customers an attractive, economical and fun-filled facility for their accommodation, entertainment and enjoyment. M3’s Hospitality and Tourism division’s primary aim is to integrate community based initiatives therefore endeavour to secure pieces of land preferably within close proximity to both the central business districts and suburban communities. The aim is to create fun valley/s by transforming these pieces of land into conferencing, entertainment / holiday destinations of choice offering water theme parks with de-luxe accommodation facilities. Our competitive advantage will be two-dimensional.

On the one hand, the location of these state-of-the-art facilities within close proximity to local communities will add significant value to these communities; and
