[ad_1]

JOHANNESBURG – For those who want to travel to South Africa, the rules are clear, but there is still a lot of confusion about South Africans who want to travel abroad for leisure.

62 countries have no travel restrictions, but another 65 are completely closed for leisure travel.

Although South Africa does not allow tourists from the UK to enter the country, South Africans can go on holiday to the UK if they are willing to spend 14 days in isolation.

“The UK government took a slightly different approach towards South Africa. From the beginning of this crisis, we decided to keep our borders open and mitigate the risk arising from international travel to people’s health and our quarantine process,” he said the British High Commissioner. Nigel Casey.

Other countries that require quarantine include Mauritius and New Zealand, but the United States is off the table.

Travelers who want to go to Zanzibar or Brazil do not need to self-quarantine or provide a negative COVID-19 test.

The tourism council says all governments must work together to ensure that travel abroad is easier for South Africans, because the global tourism sector needs a boost.
