“It’s completely understandable that, after a prolonged global health crisis, people are prioritising overall wellbeing when considering travel options,”
commented Phelisa Mangcu, CEO of South Coast Tourism and Investment and Enterprise (SCTIE).
“Tourists are also looking to support organisations and destinations that subscribe to a green economy, with sustainability a major driving factor. On the KZN South Coast, where we prioritise the protection of our rich biodiversity and support community ventures, there are endless opportunities in terms of wellness tourism offerings.”
