Can South Africa attract 100 000 Indian tourists in 2024? Tourism South Africa has set this ambitious target. With the proposed 90-day Indian visa waiver, it might just be possible. What it means for you: - Be prepared to potentially adjust your marketing strategies for an influx of Indian tourists, especially from tier II Indian cities. - Stay updated on official government channels for confirmation and details on the visa waiver and e-visa system. Remember: The proposals are still under consideration, so the timeline is uncertain. We'll keep you posted!
