Top destinations in Africa for business travel
More South African business travellers have started travelling into Africa, according to FCM Travel Solutions. Bonnie Smith, General Manager FCM Travel Solutions revealed that travel to Kenya has picked up again, followed closely by Botswana and Zambia. Mozambique and Ghana have seen a revival when it comes to business travel from South Africa.
“After months of shutdown and remote working, the reopening of borders for business travel is a very welcome development for multinationals and large enterprises. They can now finally embark upon the road to recovery, resume on-site operations and reconnect with their offices around Africa," said Smith. Travel to other international destinations is believed to take longer to recover. “Although government has reopened the borders to the entire world for business travel, travellers are still reluctant to venture outside Africa.
“It’s one thing for the government to say travel is permitted again and to lift the travel restrictions, but travellers also need to want to go. Airlines need to resume operations and destination countries need to be ready to welcome South African travellers again," she said.
