Nearly half (46%) of respondents to a recent Tourism Update poll witnessed irresponsible behaviour by safari vehicle drivers in Pilanesberg National Park.
The poll followed reports received by Tourism Update of drivers allegedly speeding, pressuring other visitors to move on from wildlife sightings and insisting on priority access to sightings.
However, a slight majority (54%) of respondents have not experienced this behaviour.
Tourism Update will take a closer look at the concerns raised, including the impact on the visitor experience, in an article later this week.
This week’s poll
As South Africa steps up efforts to attract major international sporting events, conferences and conventions, attention is turning to the wider tourism opportunities these events can generate.
Tourism Update would like to know whether our readers are becoming more involved in this business.
