A recent survey conducted by the Flight Centre Travel Group showed that South Africans are ready to travel again.
Only 13 percent of participants were unsure if they would travel in 2020 or 2021, while one percent said they would consider the circumstances first before setting off. Andrew Stark, Managing Director Flight Centre Travel Group Middle East Africa, said although 43 percent of survey respondents revealed that they would like to travel internationally, it is likely restrictions, regulations and an economic downturn will affect outbound travel. "Over the next two years we’re expecting a focus on domestic travel, South Africa for South Africans. We have a beautiful country to explore.
The overwhelming majority of respondents chose a getaway with family and budget-friendly holidays as their ideal local holiday, with a luxury or getaway with friends coming in neck and neck. While the majority of travellers would feel comfortable staying in self-catering accommodation, hotel and lodge stays were not far behind.
