ASATA is encouraged by the government’s commitment to strengthening South Africa’s trade and international relations, which has direct implications for outbound travel.
The investment in efficient digital identity systems and visa process enhancements will positively impact not only inbound but also outbound travel. Air access and the facilitation of easier business and leisure travel for South Africans remain critical, particularly in strengthening trade connections and ensuring that South Africans can move across the globe with greater ease.
We welcome the focus on modernising South Africa’s airports and increasing flights to key destinations, both of which are essential to improving connectivity for travellers. We look forward to further engagement on how these developments will support and expand outbound travel opportunities for both corporate and leisure travellers.
