From Ladysmith I travelled on to surf at Ballito, then up to St Lucia, where the bush meets the ocean, and finished up in the bush proper at Hluhluwe-Imfolozi. According to the UN World Tourism Organization’s tourism barometer, a return to prepandemic arrival levels is not expected before 2023, but it will come back. Periods of extreme crisis are usually followed by periods of creativity and entertainment; this crisis will be no different. Additionally, there is both pent-up demand , and in some richer economies a savings boom.and an even smaller 4% of China’s tourists. There is huge scope for expansion.

In the medium to longer term two issues may loom large: sustainability and resilience. To date the tourism sector has been given a relatively free pass in terms of environmental, social & governance oversight. That is likely to change for a sector globally worth $9-trillion and producing 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions in 2019.
