The Federated Hospitality Association of Southern Africa has pleaded with the government not to enforce more lockdowns over the festive season to prevent the collapse of the industry.

Domestic leisure tourism is low-risk as it consists mainly of family/group travel in private vehicles to establishments and engaging in summer outdoor activities, she said.

“The development of new variants and associated travel bans and lockdowns must end if the travel and hospitality sectors have any hope of recovery in 2022. “We ask every South African to urgently get vaccinated to help save the industry and to adhere to protocols. “Our industry bears the brunt of these semi-regular lockdowns. You may not think it affects you, other than a minor inconvenience, but tourism puts food on the table of one in seven South Africans.

“Then consider what the impact of you not being vaccinated means for thousands of tourism workers who lose their livelihood every time government imposes a lockdown in SA. Do the right thing and get vaccinated so we can get back to business.”
