PROSPECTS
These interim results clearly reflect the devastating impact that
Covid-19 and the accompanying lockdown regulations have had on the
hospitality industry in general and our group in particular.
While we are encouraged by the recent move to level 1 of the
national lockdown and the group now trading at approximately 68%
of the hotels in its portfolio, the recovery of the hospitality
industry is expected to be slow due to the uncertainties around
the health of travellers, and the negative economic impact on
government, corporates and individuals leading to reduced spend
on hotel accommodation and conferences.
The lifting of the international travel ban, subject to strict
health and safety protocols, as announced by President Ramaphosa
on 11 November 2020 is a positive step towards reviving the
South African tourism sector. While this is unlikely to have a
material impact on volumes in the short term, it does give the
international market certainty that South Africa is open for
business. This should benefit the Cape and Sandton regions in
particular and we look forward to welcoming our international
guests with our signature warm hospitality.
