- Management: The authority delegates management to an experienced private operator through a management contract, in return for the payment of fixed management fees, based on performance. The management contract has clear performance indicators. 5 years Awelani - Paid a management fee to manage it – and the Vhembe authority get all revenues Service / Lease: The authority creates a lease agreement with the concessionaire. The concessionaire's profits depend directly on the operating profits of their tourism enterprise, and they adopt full operating risk. <5 years Witsieshoek - Min rental fee or % of profits (whichever is higher) Pure concession or Public Private Partnership: Options include Build Operate and Transfers (BOTs) and Rehabilitate-Operate-Transfers (ROTs). 15-30 years (Manage Operate and Transfer?)
