Tourism tragedy looming on Visa regulations
15 may 2015
The countdown has begun. In less than two weeks the new travel regulations for passengers travelling by air with children will come into effect.
It could cost the tourism sector over R6.8bn in losses and result in severe job cuts. This is according to information released by the Board of Airline Representatives South Africa.
From 1 June 2015 parents have to provide an unabridged birth certificate of all travelling children.
In addition, South Africans and foreigners have to provide details of the child's father and mother. This applies even when both parents are travelling with their children.
