Covid-19 Data

Cape Town Tourism has responded to the impact of Covid-19 on our sector with a number of research actions. The main objective is to gain insight into the impact on the industry as well as keep abreast of the changing consumer, both domestically and internationally. The most recently added reports provide a global overview of recovery and tracker of countries that have banned South African arrivals.
