The Federated Hospitality Association of Southern Africa has pleaded with the government not to enforce more lockdowns over the festive season to prevent the collapse of the industry.

In addition to strict adherence of tourism, health and hygiene safety protocols instituted last year, the sector suggested, among other things:prioritising vaccinations to mitigate the impact on SA’s healthcare system.

“While it is early days, the transmissibility of the variant does not appear to have translated into high levels of hospitalisation and death. Domestic leisure tourism is low-risk as it consists mainly of family/group travel in private vehicles to establishments and engaging in summer outdoor activities, she said.

“We ask every South African to urgently get vaccinated to help save the industry and to adhere to protocols.
