The Association of Southern African Travel Agents said while it welcomed the scrapping of “the onerous and costly PCR test requirement”, it warned the draft health regulations “will need to be reviewed and amended to ensure the PCR test for travel will not be reintroduced with the lifting of the state of disaster on April 16 2022".
De Vries said the draft health regulations, which are open for comment, will need to be reviewed and amended. “Research in other countries has shown the easing of Covid-19 restrictions has an undeniable positive impact on travel and tourism numbers. “We can expect a similar positive trend for travel to and from SA when the entry restrictions have finally been relaxed. We would therefore like to urge the public to highlight their concerns with the draft regulations to ensure the PCR test for travel is scrapped once and for all for vaccinated travellers,” said De Vries.
Anderson said the cost and inconvenience of mandatory PCR tests are exacerbated if travellers are visiting multiple destinations in Southern Africa over the general two-week or 10-day holiday period.
