The African Travel and Tourism Association (Atta) has described the recent traffic light update which saw six southern African countries added to the red list as a "complete hammer blow".
At midday Friday (26 November), South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini will be officially red-listed.
A temporary ban on commercial and private planes travelling from the six countries will come into force until 4am Sunday (28 November), where passengers will then be required to book and pay for a government-approved hotel quarantine facility for 10 days.
