• The expectation that the summer season would usher in significant recovery was impeded by surging local
infections, leading to a "second wave" of COVID-19 from December 2020. This resulted in the closure of beaches
along most of South Africa's coast and in turn negatively impacted on visitor numbers to SANParks' coastal
destinations.
Flooding in the Kruger National Park and the temporary closure of Lower Sabie due to a localized outbreak of
COVID-19 further negatively impacted performance in January and February 2021, though the increased flow of the
Orange River over the Augrabies Falls had a temporary positive impact on that park.
Corrective actions
Continued emphasis on marketing and promoting national parks to domestic tourists through innovative marketing
initiatives such as.
Brand Marketing - Event marketing e.g. Golden Gate Classics.
Effective collaboration with both public and private sector entities and brands such as South African Tourism,
Major brands, Standard Tour Operators and Special Interest Groups.

traditional marketsView entire presentation
