Popular holiday resort closing down
One of the Eastern Cape's most popular holiday resorts is closing its doors.
The Fish River Sun Resort will be shutting down at the end of November.
It's a massive blow to the 130 staff of the Fish River Sun, many of whom have been working at the resort since it opened its doors 28 years ago.
A number of contractors, including security companies and the landscapers looking after the gardens and the Gary Player Design championship golf course, will also be affected.
A communique sent out by hotel management today advises Fish River Sun guests of the closure and that bookings made after that date are regrettably being cancelled.
It says the closure of the resort is unavoidable given the recent land claim which Sun International lost, escalating costs and difficult trading conditions.
The resort says there will be a full reimbursement made of bookings that can no-longer be honoured.
