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.
