"This clearly requires that we should streamline our tourist visa regimes and as SA we are committed to working towards the African Union’s goal of a visa free travel dispensation and a single African air transport market.

"He said, 'address crime and you will see millions of people from the Asian part of the world coming to South Africa and Africa with many dollars in their hands'. He said it was imperative that resources be devoted to"tackling acts of criminality, particularly crimes that are committed against tourists".
