The announcement by the Department
of Home Affairs that it will be relaxing some of the job-killing visa
regulations it introduced last year, as they do not go far enough to restore
South Africa as a tourist friendly destination. Democratic Alliance Shadow
Minister in Tourism reports.
“These
announcements are way too late. South Africa’s tourism rand has already been
damaged and we have to know work much smarter. In order to reposition South
Africa as a travel destination of choice”.
“Now
we have been arguing since the beginning of these Visa regulations came into
effect. That we should consider International best practises, such as E-visas”.
“Because
E-visas are much safer, much secure and they cut turn-around time and in fact
stream lines tourist destination to South Africa”.
