SA Tourism has invited the hospitality sector to register their establishments for discounted packages to shore up the struggling domestic tourism industry.
"Whether it is beachfront destinations, safari or awe-inspiring cultural experiences and everything in between, the South African tourism trade is encouraged to join this exciting platform to get a chance to reignite domestic travel," SA Tourism was quoted as saying by Fin24.
Airlines, accommodation establishments, tour operators and other tourism-related experience service providers are invited to sign up for local deals and packages slashed by up to 50% to be offered to travellers when booking between 6 and 12 September.
The tourism sector in South Africa was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some accommodation establishments were forced to temporarily close and lay off staff.
The sector directly employed about 700 000 people in South Africa before the pandemic.
