I have worked in the Scandinavian market for 10 years.
The last 2 years has seen a severe decrease in family groups because of the birth certificate requirements.
People have been going to Kenia and Tanzania.
SA is shooting itself in the foot.

I could not agree more!

Around two years ago, Danish visitors coming to stay with us prior to a three-week explorations of safaris and Wilderness, were turned away at the gate because of birth certificate issues. The children were around 14 and 15 years old at the time. They said they might return once the children were over 21 but I doubt they will. What a travesty!
