The tourism department in KwaZulu-Natal has confirmed that no booking cancellations have been recorded despite the recent national fuel price hikes.

More than R900 million is expected to be generated from the influx of tourists into the province over the upcoming Easter weekend.

More than 300,000 local visitors and over 600,000 international tourists are expected to visit KwaZulu-Natal during this period.

Economic development agency, Ilembe Enterprise Manager, Thobile Nxumalo, says the region is preparing for a significant surge in visitors, with pre-bookings already reaching over 53% occupancy.

“The issue of the fuel price hike has affected a lot of people. But when it comes to tourists, luckily, they pre-book in advance. So, we don’t have cancellations or anything that we think will affect the tourists. So, we still expect high volumes of tourists and travellers into the region this Easter, despite the fuel hike.”
