The Robben Island Museum will have separate prices for local and international visitors in order to attract more locals.
The chief financial officer, Blayne Crocker, said: “Based on an annual financial analysis, and in consultation with relevant stakeholders, Robben Island Museum management has taken the decision to introduce a different tier of tour prices for local and international visitors. We believe this decision will have a positive turnaround on our long-term financial sustainability as an organisation, while contributing to an increase in domestic visitors.
“With such factors in mind, a different pricing structure that can provide for additional revenue that will meet our rising conservation needs, needed to be investigated. It is important that Robben Island Museum has the financial backing to maintain a high standard of excellence with our tour experience,” Crocker said.
