Tjaart van der Walt, Fayrous Holliday-October and Tracy Branford were running successful travel and tourism businesses before the nationwide lockdown hit in late March.
“We host seal snorkelling and guided kayak tours. Our business on the seal snorkelling side is 80 percent international guests and 20 percent locals. With kayaking, the majority of our guests are locals. Holliday-October, a travel experiences designer at Halaal Hopper Experiences, has been in the tourism industry for 23 years.
Branford from events company Trunk Event had 14 weddings booked over March and April that were postponed.
