She says KZN bounced back over the festive season with an R2.5 billion injection into the economy after 2021 unrest, the Covid-19 pandemic and last year's devastating floods. "We were also pleased that the occupancy rate from 26 December 2022 to 01 January 2023 reached an average of 81% across the province despite the difficulties of having to recover our beaches and all our assets from the floods.

"For KwaZulu-Natal, the tourism sector is the goose that lays the golden egg, and which will boost efforts for the creation of jobs, ending poverty and narrowing the gap between the rich and poor by availing opportunities for entrepreneurship and opening the sector to new players." Tourism minister, KZN Premier, eThekwini Mayor all ring the bell marking the official start of this year’s Africa Travel Indaba. ⁦
