The number of foreign travelers departing from South Africa amounted to over 6.8 million in 2022. Compared to the previous year, this was a significant increase from around 2.8 million departures. The travel and tourism sector suffered severely due to travel restrictions associated with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Between 2017 and 2019, the number of foreign travelers dropped slightly, while the dip in 2020 and 2021 was visibly significant. Overall, the total number of traveler departures amounted to over 10.5 million in 2022, which illustrates signs of recovery post-pandemic.
