The Tourism Business Council of South Africa has identified 10 key interventions that are needed to stimulate tourism growth in South Africa:
- A ‘real’ fully automated world-class e-Visa with improved airport e-infrastructure
- Waive visas for more source markets
- Introduce critical skills visas, temporary work visas
- Vehicle licensing backlogs must be addressed
- Reduce or fix other red tape issues holding back growth
- Destination readiness – faster reaction to new opportunities
- Additional funds for tourism marketing
- Private-Public Partnerships to radically improve and implement marketing – especially in key growth markets
- Air liberalisation and a national air access initiative (not just provincially focused)
