Poll: Too expensive to travel locally─── 09:55 Sat, 18 Apr 2015
Johannesburg - Domestic tourism stats indicate that South Africans are doing less travelling than usual and a recent poll run on News24 indicates perhaps SA’s top attractions are just too expensive for local tourists.
Figures shared by Tourism Minister Derek Hanekom show an estimated 200 000 less travelled South Africans between 2012 and 2013.
When readers were asked about whether they travel locally, the majority indicated that there was much to see in and around South Africa but that the cost of fuel, increased flight prices and expensive accommodation were making travel an unaffordable luxury.
