As the September high season looms, South Africa’s tourism sector is eyeing the vaccination levels as it becomes a defining criterion for inbound international travellers deciding to visit the country.
To encourage large numbers of South Africans to get vaccinated, the tourism sector is getting behind a #Jab4Tourism campaign, led by industry leaders and organisations.
“While we support freedom of choice, we have to show our travellers that South Africa is Travel Ready and that we take their safety and that of our staff seriously,” says Natalia Rosa, MD of Big Ambitions.
The campaign seeks to flood social media with #jab4tourism images and videos showing the leadership role the tourism sector can play in getting South Africans vaccinated so that we can get back to business in earnest.
If you want to add your voice to the movement and inspire others to get their #jab4tourism, all we need is for you to:
- Take a picture with your vaccine card and send to us via email on info@traveltosouthafrica.org or to this WhatsApp number +27 60 996 1593.
- Take a short selfie-video highlighting what you are looking forward to once you’ve been vaccinated.
- Or engage with the campaign on social media, using the #Jab4Tourism and #SouthAfricaisTravelReady hashtags.
