Financial constraints are seeing more South Africans opting to take local holidays than overseas travel, according to a recent survey.

“However, when you look at the actual percentage in the survey results who travel, whether locally, regionally or internationally, this is below the global average,” said Natalia Rosa, CEO of Big Ambitions, the SA member of the Travel Lifestyle Network.

Only 5% of South Africans surveyed had travelled for leisure overseas in the past three to six months, while 15% had bought a travel ticket in the same period. The survey revealed that only 9% were planning to holiday overseas and 19% were planning to buy a travel ticket. At least a quarter of South Africans are planning on taking a domestic holiday, according to the survey.
