Poll Results: Deposits on bookings – the jury’s out

Comments | 0

Last week we asked readers if suppliers that no longer requested a deposit on bookings post-COVID-19 would have a competitive advantage.

The results were as follows:

  • Yes, guests will want to avoid costs that cannot be quickly refunded in the event of an emergency.

30%
  • Possibly, but it puts suppliers at risk.

22%
  • Not at all. There are many logical reasons for charging a deposit.

48%

This week we are asking if the proposed September 2020 reopening of tourism to South Africa is viable and realistic.
