Last week’s poll asked whether traveller confidence would be affected by a less efficient roll-out of vaccination programmes in Africa.
Votes were almost evenly split, with the ‘maybes’ taking a slight lead. See the full results below:
Will the roll-out of vaccination programmes in major source markets encourage a resumption of travel to southern and East Africa, regardless of the efficiency of roll-out on the continent?
|
Yes, once travellers from source markets have been vaccinated they will feel comfortable travelling, regardless. |
30% |
|
Perhaps, provided health and safety precautions are maintained at a high standard by African suppliers. |
37% |
|
No, even with the vaccine, travellers will be wary of destinations where people haven’t been vaccinated. |
33% |
This week we would like to know readers’ thoughts on the implications of the new regulations for restaurants which have severely curtailed their operations.
Q: Will the anticipated long-term effects of current regulations on restaurants (curfew and alcohol restrictions) have a knock-on effect on tourism recovery in South Africa?
- No, tourists don’t come to South Africa for the restaurants.
- Maybe, some restaurants may have closed or downsized but tourists can still enjoy meals at their hotels.
- Yes, tourists enjoy being able to have a meal close by when visiting certain attractions. They will be discouraged if restaurants are closed.
