As the Department of Home Affairs prepares to relax the conditions of its new visa regulations, it’s being predicted that South Africa’s tourism industry could take a while to recover.
The tourism department announced on Friday that people travelling into South Africa will no longer be required to apply in person for their visas.
The requirement of an unabridged birth certificate for children coming into the country has also been lifted.
Lee-Anne Bac of Grant Thornton advisory services says the impact of the strict laws on the tourism industry has been greater than anticipated.
“It’s going to take a lot on time, energy and money to restore our reputation; to get the communication out there out there about the changed regulations and to convince those who’ve lost faith in us that they should actually have faith in us again.”
