Source: Tourism update, 13/08/2015


The unintended consequences of the new visa regulations has now got
the ear of a wider audience in government.


Thulani Nzimi, CEO of SA Tourism, told delegates of the SATSA annual
conference that opened on Thursday at Fancourt that the new
inter-ministerial committee looking at the regulations had the
attention of government heavyweights such as the Minister of Finance
and the Secretary General of the African National Congress (ANC).


Nzimi pointed out that the government`s hot button was the impact on
jobs rather than company profits.


He said the tourism industry should make sure that the impact of the
regulations on job creation and job losses is credibly collected and
presented to government as this is an important priority for them.
Loss of company profit is seen as less of a problem.
