The tourism industry, which contributes nearly 9% to SA's economy, is appealing to the government to begin the phased in easing of restrictions on travel and tourism at the earliest from September.
These pleas were made by board members of the Tourism Business Council of SA which represents a number of industry associations at a meeting of parliament’s tourism portfolio committee on Tuesday.But MPs pointed out that it would be difficult for the government give a fixed date for the opening up the sector before the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic had been reached, estimated to be in September.
Komani said the industry had developed safety and hygiene protocols to prevent the spread of the infection once the sector opened up. Already about 50,000 tourism businesses have closed permanently or temporarily and there is the danger that 555,000-600,000 direct jobs could be lost in 2020.
