Dear Members and Stakeholders

Through Department of Tourism, the following feedback was received from DIRCO regarding repatriation of international tourists.

 

Embassies are taking full responsibility for their citizens. This includes reconnaissance of where citizens currently are, negotiating repatriation flights with South African Government, accommodation and transportation of citizens to airports and all relevant permits and permissions.

 

It is a highly coordinated effort which involves planning flights based on the number of citizens. 

 

It is critical that all foreign citizens have been in touch with their embassies and have registered their current details with South African Tourism. Registering with South African Tourism can be done here and a list of embassy contacts can be accessed here.

Yours in Tourism
