Chris Mears, managing director of Experience Africa Events, describes his "extremely stressful" rush back from South Africa to the UK last week and shares his hopes for the country’s tourism recovery after the emergence of the Omicron variant.
South Africa finally came off the UK’s red list in early October after essentially being closed off to Brits since December 2020.
Having lived in Cape Town and being married to a South African we were itching to visit friends and family and from a professional perspective, I was keen to reconnect with our members and host a networking event.
Flights with our partner airline Ethiopian Airlines were booked, venue for our networking event secured and plans for a 10-day holiday made.
