After weeks of intensive lobbying, South Africa’s travel and tourism industry is readying itself for the opening of the country’s borders after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the nation will move from Level 2 to Level 1 of the lockdown, effective from October 1.
Ramaphosa has also given the green light for the reopening of the country’s borders and the resumption of international flights.

To create safe spaces in an airport that processed 40,000 passengers a day pre-Covid meant all of Acsa’s systems and processes had to change. The company has learnt from the experiences of colleagues in Ethiopia, which continued to fly, albeit on a limited basis, throughout that country’s lockdown.
“Everything is interconnected,” adds Sean Bradley, a consultant to the Board of Airline Representatives of South Africa. “Regional travel is heavily reliant on international travel, which supports not just the tourism industry, but the whole economy.”South Africa faced a real risk of losing its hub status, as tour companies and airlines contemplated rerouting through East Africa.
These are the bigger issues that need to be addressed, but for now, the airline and tourism industry is focused on rebuilding what has been broken.
