In this issue
of Hospitality Business Hub, the members of HPASA
discuss hard-hitting topics that affect those
of you in the business of hospitality.
Is
the hospitality sector in crisis?
Leisure tourism stakeholders meet to solve crisis
discusses the Leisure Tourism Stakeholder Meeting
held on 28 June 2011, when around 70 senior tourism
stakeholders met informally to discuss the current
crisis in the leisure tourism industry and to
come up with solutions.
FICA
increases risk on estate agents discusses
the three month compulsory registration period
for Estate Agents to register with FICA, and which
ended on 28 February 2011. What are the requirements
and what are the consequences for non-compliance?
In
Legally Speaking, read the final
judgement on ‘trusts’ sting in the
tail: don’t use them as your alter ego’
– where using a trust merely to shield assets
from creditors invites the risk of a court holding
that the trust was used as the founder’s
alter ego, and more.

highlights below.
We look forward to serving your local and worldwide
hospitality needs.
Yours in Hospitality,

FRINGE BENEFIT FOR EMPLOYEES
A number of Employers have,
for several years, been contributing
towards either an employee death
or an employee disability policy
on behalf of their employees
(long-term insurance policies).
The aforementioned policies
were provided either by means
of ‘approved’ plans
or ‘unapproved’
plans, as defined by the South
