15 September 2021 - NW1854
Winkler, Ms HS to ask the Minister of Tourism
What is her department’s strategy in light of an imminent COVID-19 fourth wave to protect the tourism sector from further decimation?
Reply:
The department’s focus is on implementation of Norms and Standards for safe operations by the sector. The department also supports the call for South Africans to get vaccinated so that we could reach population immunity which would be a more sustainable way to mitigate against economic disruption.
