The survey found that 28 percent of adults are planning to travel over the next three months, up from 21 percent a month ago.
Now that President Cyril Ramaphosa has moved the country to alert level 1, the prospect of travelling overseas doesn’t seem as daunting for some.
In fact, South Africans are keen to travel, according to the latest research from Finder.com’s Travel Index. The survey found that 28% of adults are planning to travel over the next three months, up from 21 percent a month ago. For the past seven months, the percentage of adults planning to travel either domestically or internationally has hovered between 20-23%, and it looks like plans for domestic and international travel are increasing.
“The number of adults making short-term travel plans in South Africa has consistently been much lower compared to other countries included in the research. For instance, Ireland has had well over a quarter of the population making travel plans since earlier this year,” said Finder.com’s editor-at-large, Angus Kidman.
