Why Does This Expansion Matters For Tourism?

South Africa’s tourism sector is ready for a post-pandemic revival, and Qatar Airways is playing its part in the rebound. More flights mean more tourists and more tourists mean better business for local hospitality, restaurants, and attractions. Whether it’s an adrenaline-filled safari or wine tasting in Stellenbosch, travellers now have more flight options to tailor their journeys. The airline’s increased connectivity will attract both leisure and business travellers, giving South Africa the exposure it deserves.

With more routes, better connections, and enhanced regional partnerships, the airline is paving the way for a tourism surge. As it celebrates two decades in South Africa, the airline is setting the stage for even greater adventures and business possibilities ahead.
