Tourism Cheaper Accessible Covid-19

The Department of Tourism has called on tourism operators and establishments to make their attractions and services more affordable for locals, to make the industry more accessible.

Tourism Minister, Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane delivered her budget-speech in parliament this week and said it would take a while still, before the majority of international travelers, from which the industry derives the bulk of its revenue, would return to the country.

Kubayi-Ngubane says it was South Africans, traveling domestically, who helped the industry stay afloat over the past year.
