Tshivhengwa said the council had on various occasion met with the government and banks to present the tourism recovery plan, health protocols, job losses, business closures and financial relief.
The estimated loss of employment currently stands at 600,000 direct jobs if the sector remains closed, with knock-on effects in other sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and banking. “Whilst we are frustrated with the current pace of the government’s response to our proposals, we must acknowledge some of our small wins such as the restaurant sector coming back online and continue to push for various areas in our sector to reopen by providing evidence to substantiate each case - and we are doing that daily.”
“Covid-19 is a moving target, so the answer we have today may not be effective tomorrow. But we know that we must approach it with facts and data-driven strategy, open communication with government and we must continue to prove that our health protocols will help flatten the curve going into the future, as we continue to be responsible and be compliant.”
