THE Summit, which was
themed the ‘blueprint for
collaboration’, raised the
importance of collaboration
within the aviation, tourism
and government.
Government was
represented by Deputy
Minister of Transport,
Sindiswe Chikungu; Minister
of Energy, Jeff Radebe; and
newly re-appointed Minister
of Tourism, Derek Hanekom.
Derek said he had
already met with newly
reappointed Home Affairs
Minister Malusi Gigaba and
that together they would
vigorously tackle barriers
caused by the country’s
immigration regulations.
While the need to
collaborate was reiterated
in every panel, in
closing, June Crawford,
ceo of Barsa, charged
stakeholders to “walk
the talk”. She undertook
to share a summary of
the discussions at the
summit and emphasised
that creating a seamless
traveller experience, one
of the strategies voted on
by attendees, involved the
entire travel value chain.
