Following the government’s decision to ban visitors from high-risk countries from entering South Africa, do you think it was a wise decision or is it just another barrier to tourism growth? Cast your vote in the poll on the right hand side of the newsfeed:
Question: Do you think government’s decision to ban visitors from high-risk countries from entering South Africa is wise?
- Yes, COVID-19 remains a threat and government has a duty to protect lives.
- Possibly, I can understand the risks but the need to protect lives is superseded by the need to protect livelihoods.
- No, we cannot afford further barriers to tourism growth and the two-week revision could potentially be a shambles.
