As part of the relaunch of its Cape Town service, British Airways Holidays is offering promotions, including special hotel packages in November.
After the announcement of SA’s removal from the red list on Thursday evening, Western Cape MEC for finance and economic opportunities David Maynier said the UK is one of the province’s most important tourist countries.
He said in 2019 about 194,900 UK tourists visited the Western Cape, spending on average R24,200 per tourist.
British Airways chairperson and CEO Sean Doyle said the next step was for testing to be eradicated for fully vaccinated travellers.
“It finally feels like we are seeing light at the end of a very long tunnel. Britain will benefit from this significant reduction in red-list countries, and it’s time to turn our attention to eradicating testing for fully vaccinated travellers to ensure we don’t lose our place on the global stage,” said Doyle.
