Last week, Tourism Update asked readers for their thoughts on the South African government’s ban on ‘high-risk’ countries.
72% of respondents thought the additional barrier to tourism growth was a bad idea. See the full results below.
Do you think government’s decision to ban visitors from high-risk countries from entering South Africa wise?

No, we cannot afford further barriers to tourism growth and the two-week revision could potentially be a shambles. |

Possibly, I can understand the risks but the need to protect lives is superseded by the need to protect livelihoods. |

Yes, COVID-19 remains a threat and government has a duty to protect lives. |

This week we want to hear what you think about flexible booking policies as international tourists rebook their southern and East African trips. Engage with our poll on the right hand side of the news feed or leave your thoughts in the comments section below.
As international tourists start to rebook their southern and East African trips, do you believe flexible, more accommodating booking policies are necessary?
- Yes, especially with so much global uncertainty. We need to be willing to meet the traveller halfway.
- Perhaps, on a temporary basis until there is more certainty about global travel.
- No, it’s a risk we cannot take as we stand to lose too much.
