Message from the TTA Chairperson, Bronwen Cadle de Ponte
Dear partners in tourism
We have entered lockdown in South Africa and now is the time, as a first priority, to stay safe, each do our part to #flattenthecurve and follow the healthcare guidelines as shared on sacoronavirus.co.za or who.int.
Our industry is facing extremely challenging times and many businesses have been affected. However, we need to keep in mind that this will pass and it is necessary to be ready to contribute to rebuilding tourism when the pandemic is over. The heartening response by the people of South Africa to the threat posed to all citizens by the COVID-19 virus illustrates what can be achieved and we will need to face the future with courage and determination.
The TTA Board and TTA Office are working from home and we will continue to keep you updated through WhatsApp messages, emails, this web page, newsletters and the TTA Facebook Page.
We are stronger together and together we shall overcome.
Stay safe and keep communicating,
The Team @ TTA
