Despite the level 3 regulations not permitting leisure travel, hard-hit tourism businesses want the government to reconsider.
Safari operator Hylton Langley organised a peaceful protest in Nelspruit on Friday hoping that others around the country will follow suit. The protest attracted 60 tourism vehicles with people baring posters. He was unsure how the government allowed taxis to operate at full capacity while leisure remains closed. “Fourteen people in a taxi is allowed, while 0 people in a safari vehicle?" he asked.
The Tourism Business Council of South Africa held an urgent meeting last Monday to discuss leisure travel to consider its options to stop the daily R748-million loss of tourism expenditure and job losses caused by the lockdown and Covid-19 pandemic.
