This month ushered in a new era in our lockdown existence. Among the aspects of life as we used to know it pre-Covid-19, international travel is returning.
Nkosazana, forget greater Africa for now, though it is worth exploring any time. Focus on what tourism stands to gain in lockdown level 1 South Africa. Our porous borders - more accurately, corruption at border posts, Home Affairs and in law enforcement agencies - let in too many unaccounted-for immigrants. The laxity has overwhelmed our social services’ infrastructure and fuelled Afrophobia.
The Taj Mahal in India or Hollywood in Los Angeles succeed because of local consumption that triggers international popularity. The Oscar-nominated Hollywood movies we flock to watch in our theatres first had to be seen and liked by millions of Americans, convincing us that they are good for us too. We, instead, price the locals out of our tourist establishments to impress foreigners. Well, the foreigners are missing, and locals consider travelling too pricey.
DesmondThoabala VictorAfrica Sure my broer, still in China ..long time man..
VictorAfrica The tourism industry only knows hard international currency, which primarily excludes local Rands. Writing that the tourism industry will price itself for the domestic traveller does not mean that it will happen. You wrote the article with a utopian view. See 'draconian'.
VictorAfrica Tourism saved Greece from going down the toilet. Boy did it teach those arrogant ones in Greece a lesson.
VictorAfrica They want domestic Kaapa my daughter when 10 years old said mommy this place no we are not coming back reya Sun City a child experienced negative vipe in Kaapa.
VictorAfrica I love it
VictorAfrica Just dunno how you can pay $4000/ night. When you close the eyes and the bed is warm and comfortable, a $100 place feels the same as a $4000. Then nobody can eat a R500 breakfast VoetsekANC
VictorAfrica 💯 percent in agreement. Some destinations are priced way above what locals can afford. 4000 USD per night. What fcuk is that
VictorAfrica Don't waste your time reading this article. 'Domestic tourism can power our economic recovery'. The draconian lockdown created by the ANC will prevent this from happening. Such nonsense.
VictorAfrica Heke... No lies detected in this article Silangwe
VictorAfrica Agree!
VictorAfrica And to respect the local tourists a bit more.
