Johan Badenhorst talks about struggling SA tourism industry
Johan Badenhorst, avid traveller and presenter of the popular travel docu-series 'Voetspore', joined the Scenic Drive with Rian to discuss all things tourism.
In 2020, South Africa and the rest of the world went into lockdown. No one was allowed to travel to other provinces nor countries.
The tourism industry is one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

After months, the industry is struggling due to no international visitors and the financial struggle South African citizens are facing.
Johan Badenhorst has spent the last 18-years travelling through Africa and South Africa, covering 40 countries and hundreds of thousands of kilometres. The remarkable journey has been covered on 'Voetspore', a travel docu-series on SABC 2.
Badenhorst spoke to the Scenic Drive about the tourism industry, how locals can support it and the brand new season of 'Voetspore'.
"Due to COVID-19 and lockdown we had to travel and film within South Africa. We discovered some beautiful places and we live in a great place."
