Travel agents from around the country say they’ve witnessed a dramatic increase in bookings by South Africans for the December period.
“As more destinations open up we are also experiencing an increase in bookings for Europe including France, Switzerland, Spain, Lapland, USA and Germany,” said Adolphe.“Popular local getaways include Durban, Cape Town, Sun City, Drakensberg and bush breaks around country.”
An increase in bookings has also enabled the travel industry to slowly get back on to its feet, said Adolphe. “Travel has become highly complex. Each country has its own requirements, which in turn brings its own challenges.” She said most companies have shown hesitation to fly out clients for meetings, when meetings can instead be done on video calls apps such as Zoom.
