The crux of the matter is Beta, which is not necessarily an SA variant and has ‘not been detected for months’
The tourism summit, which started on Monday, calls on all role players to reflect, reimagine and reignite a tourism sector in a bid to reawaken Africa, particularly in the wake of the affect of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Reports have shown that tourism in countries with a high share of vaccinated people will rebound faster than in countries with a low share.“Gatherings such as this summit are crucial to the industry’s survival. Through such events, we connect, share ideas and create a new positive narrative of Africa, one that shifts from a continent in turmoil to one that is recovering steadily and ready to do business,” Sisulu said.
One of the measures that needs to be taken, Sisulu said, is to ensure an effective vaccination rollout programme.
