CEO of FlySafair Elmar Conradie said if the proposal is accepted, it could bring swift recovery for the travel and tourism industry.

"If well-received by the body, FlySafair hopes this will begin the process of lobbying the Department of Tourism to introduce the amendment to parliament.

He believes the proposal presents the government with a"novel idea to stimulate economic growth and recovery for the country as a whole.”Most travellers book holidays to maximise on public holidays that fall on either Monday or Friday.

FlySafair found a significant increase in bookings when a public holiday falls on either a Monday or Friday.
