In Memory of Niel Els
It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of our dear friend and past president, Niel Els. Niel was a dedicated member of Skål International Garden Route, a passionate advocate for tourism, and a true friend to so many in our industry.
His warmth, leadership, and commitment to fostering connections within the Skål community will never be forgotten. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.
