Issues effecting tourism in Africa

 

Several issues are a effecting the tourism industry in Africa as well as South Africa.

Issues like long haul distant flights from Europe, the Americas and other places; Foreign tourist surcharges on accommodation and services; uncoordinated development i.e. Golf Estates and sky scrapers in eco sensitive areas and hunting issues like "canned hunting" are issues that have a influence on tourism. 

Regarding so-called “canned hunting”, SA Good News recently reported that a SA Court ruled against canned hunting.

“A court decision in favour of government on canned hunting could be the end of the road for South Africa's 123 lion breeders and some 3000 canned lions.

This follows a verdict in the High Court in Bloemfontein that semi-tame animals may only be hunted 24 months after being set free from their breeding cages, the report said". www.sagoodnews.co.za
