collaboration to prevent, protect against,
control, and provide a public health
response to the international spread of
disease in ways that are commensurate
with and restricted to public health risks
and that avoid unnecessary interference
with international traffic and trade. The IHR

CONCLUSION
z Coronavirus (COVID-19) has negatively affected the tourism sector globally. Its
impacts left destinations, organizations and communities in a distressed state, a
situation which led to calls for new approaches that ensure the resilience,
continuity and growth of distressed tourist destinations in a crisis environment.
Most of the Southern African destinations have been in a distressed state due to
the long-existing social, economic and political challenges. In Southern African
countries afflicted by the pandemic, there is a high level of economic uncertainty,
with sectors like tourism particularly hard hit. Nevertheless, the region has a
number of positive tourism developments.
The South African tourism industry received a welcome boost with the
announcement that South Africa will remain on Adjusted Alert Level One, with
some further relaxation of COVID-19 regulations.
President Cyril Ramaphosa, made the announcement in an address on 22 March,

following consultations with the National Command Council, the center of
decision making in government's response to curb the spread of Covid-19 and to
deal with the consequences of the pandemic.
After the outbreak of Covid 19, travel health notices has put forward certain rules
and regulations for the travelers like proper vaccination, medical testing before
travelling to South Africa, use of masks and sanitizers, etc. This helps in carrying
out a safe journey for the Indian travelers.
