The majority of the tourists entering South Africa between 2021 and 2024 were from the African continent. In February 2023, the number of tourists from Africa amounted to almost 515,000 tourists. Europe and North America followed with roughly 146,000 and 30,000 visitors, respectively. During the period under review, the number of tourists in the country was lowest in 2021 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdowns, which was first introduced in March 2020 and was officially lifted in April 2022.
