In a Statista study on luxury tourism published in March of 2021, it was estimated that the revenue generated by this industry in South Africa could have plummeted nearly 29 percent in the domestic sector and even 50 percent in the international sector between 2019 and 2020. This decline in the industry is attributed to the worldwide lockdown measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, it is anticipated that by 2023 South Africa could register a revenue from international luxury tourism larger than this segment's revenue in 2019, whereas the country's domestic sector is projected to not completely recover during the given time span.
