This week we are asking if the opening of South Africa’s borders (which includes the banning of the high-risk list) will result in more international travellers visiting our shores this coming high season.

Cast your vote in the poll on the right hand side of the news feed or interact with us in the comments, your thoughts are important to us.

Will the opening of South Africa’s borders and the banning of the high-risk list result in more international travellers visiting during the coming peak season?

  • Yes, it won’t be like opening the floodgates but it will help
  • Perhaps, if cheaper and quicker antigen testing could be introduced
  • No, the second COVID-19 wave in key source markets will subdue numbers
