The post-pandemic travel surge, or “revenge tourism,” has taken the world by storm as globetrotters reclaim lost time. South Africa, despite its undeniable allure, has yet to see the influx that has graced other countries. However, according to destination travel expert, Sone Kuhn, that is set to change. “Being a long-haul destination has played a role in slower recovery,” Kuhn explains, “but with the recent introduction of low-cost, direct flights from London Gatwick to Cape Town and increased access from the US, the world is now eyeing Cape Town as the next hot spot.”
With tourism demand increasing, South Africa is ready to showcase its world-class service and hospitality, often outpacing what travellers can expect in Europe and beyond. “There are stories of hotels in Europe struggling to operate seven days a week due to staff shortages,” says Kuhn, “South Africa, on the other hand, offers the personalised service that guests long for.”
