Calitzdorp Tuk Tuks

Kannaland Municipality is renowned for its cheese factories and the production of world-famous diary and wine products. Major beneficiation of agricultural products in the form of cheese, dairy, wine and port occurs at processing plants and wineries within its boundaries rather than the raw material being exported to value-adding enterprises elsewhere.

Kannaland Municipality is an area of outstanding natural beauty and bio-diversity significance with great appeal to the wilderness and adventure tourism market, such as eco-resorts and getaways, hiking, bird-watching, organised and informal mountain biking and self-drive and motorcycle touring.

Currently, no affordable transport system exists that links Bergsig to the Calitzdorp town. People, therefore, have to walk town whether it is for work, shopping, interacting with the Municipality, attending the clinic or going to school. An affordable transport system will alleviate this burden, assist the population and facilitate business.

The Tuk Tuks will also help grow tourism as tourists will effectively have taxis that can transport them from Bed and Breakfasts (B&Bs) to restaurants and back. This will once again support and create jobs at the restaurants, cellars and B&Bs.
