According to the South African Minister of Tourism Derek Andre Hanekom, improvements in the visa application process has led to a growth in tourist arrivals from China.

“The spectacular growth in tourist arrivals indicates that the close collaboration between various government departments, between the Department of Tourism and industry, and between suppliers and service providers on the ground has paid off,” said Hanekom.

Given its importance to our economy, we must continue to nurture the sector and drive increasingly impactful and collaborative strategies and programmes for sustained, inclusive growth these markets in the future.”
