Ecotourism in Crimea aims to preserve the environment
The recent scrapping of unabridged birth certificates requirement for foreign travelers is a positive development ahead of the festive season as this could spurn much needed growth in the tourism sector, an official has said.
The unabridged birth certificate requirement had slowed down the growth of tourism in South Africa.
International minors travelling to South Africa no longer require unabridged birth certificates or consent letters when travelling with their parents.
“To completely rescind this requirement is a win for tourism and an upside for industry and travellers alike as this has been a real concern raised throughout my engagements with various stakeholders,” said minister of tourism Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane.
“…we believe that this announcement will go a long way in helping us to attract more tourists to South Africa as a destination of choice.”
She said the waiver will ensure ease of access to South Africa, as they work to bring over 21 million international visitors by 2030 to boost tourism.
