South Africa’s cabinet has approved the Tourism Sector Recovery Plan, which represents the collective response by the government and the tourism sector to the devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The draft plan was released for public consultation in August 2020.
Pretoria said the plan proposes seven strategic interventions, which include stimulating domestic demand; launching investment and resource mobilisation programmes; and regional tourism integration.
“The proposed interventions are also aligned to the country’s ERRP. The objective of this plan is to preserve jobs and livelihoods, and create new job opportunities,” reads minutes of the South African cabinet meeting.
“The plan will also strengthen transformational interventions in the sector and drive the empowerment of women, youth and people with disabilities in the sector.”
