Tourism Update’s last poll of 2020 asked readers about the necessity of a COVID vaccine before travel.

Poll Q:
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-outs on the continent?
- Yes, once travellers from source markets have been vaccinated they will feel comfortable travelling, regardless.
- Perhaps, provided health and safety precautions are maintained at a high standard by African suppliers.
- No, even with the vaccine, travellers will be wary of destinations where people haven’t been vaccinated.
