South African Tourism has changed the narrative from “Go To South Africa” to “Don’t travel now, so you can travel later.”
The latter words are powerful in a world with growing Covid-19 cases that have impacted many renowned tourist destinations to shut down. South Africa, known for its blue flag status, wine routes, world-class safari lodges and friendly locals, had to make the tough decision to implement a lockdown following the vast spread of the virus in under a month.
The minute and a half minute video encourage South Africans to heed the president's call to #StayHome to stop the spread of the virus. The narrator said: "We will meet again. We will do the things that matter with the people we love again. We will go back to our favourite spots, and we will even discover new ones.
"We will travel again, and we will gather again. For us to all to travel tomorrow, we have to stay home today. We will make it through this."
