Dear Minister of Tourism - Please unlock leisure camping (and travel)

Comments

#201

I am an owner of a small rustc camping site with bushveld between stands. The loss of income for all in our camping industry has been huge and needs to be addressed. Campers bring there own camping gere even using their own kitchen. Taxis can have 7 people in it..... Camping gives fresh air with loads off space between campers. There is no reason why camping sites cant open if all COVID19 regulations will be in place.

Surely it can open, if all precautions are taken. These people need an income and this is also their livelihood.
Please please

Save the campsites, save jobs

Willie Turvey (George, 2020-06-27)

#233

Signing to support camp sites, to support all owners and many employees and their dependants at camp sites. A positive vibe, fresh air and sun and space will help with immunity. Ideally much better suited to avoid spreading covid19 than restaurants or casinos or normal shops ever can. Low risk. Use booking as travel permit.

Dirk Postma (Pretoria, 2020-06-27)

#238

It is time to open the local tourism industry! We all go camping to get away from people and to be outdoors! This virus don’t like it!

Jonina Fourie (BENONI, 2020-06-27)

We need to save the industry. And damn I need to get out and about

I’m singing because it is time to realize life goes on and we can’t let a few incompetent ministers run a country like this.

Eugene Wessels (Kakamas, 2020-06-27)

Being able to get away from work and to simply take a break, is necessary for a well balanced life!

#249

Camping is probably the most harmless social outdoor activity with a maximum of recreational satisfaction

Roger Stockbridge (Pretoria, 2020-06-27)

#253

I am signing this petition because I believe that camping, being an out door activity with minimal socialization, is beneficial for campers. It also helps the community which provides various services

Jo Dyer (Langebaan, Western Cape, 2020-06-27)

#256

Because I believe camping is safe and we can adhere to social distancing

#260

We need to get out and support our tourism industry that is suffering. We heve been locked up in our houses for more than 90 days and we are adults who can adhere to social distancing

Carlien Potgieter (Pretoria, 2020-06-27)

#261

Lockdown is infringing my human rights!

Sonja Botha (Ekurhuleni, 2020-06-27)

#263

I am a leisure camper and don't understand how leisure camping is not allowed but cinemas and other leisure activities can open. Camping stands are more than the preferred social distancing apart and conform to covid-19 regulations.

Jean Jansen v Rensburg (Brackenfell, 2020-06-27)

#267

Camping is a source of income for many camp site owners and provide work to many employees, it is one of the safer modes of socializing.

Lourette Cronje (Pretoria, 2020-06-27)

#268

I'm a camper and have obeyed the regulations. Leisure camping is automatically open to abide by the regulations, shared bathrooms can be sanitized like restaurants etc. Provincial borders also need to be opened to travel to resorts of choice, with permit if necessary.

Ria Warwick (Durban, 2020-06-27)

#271

We need tourism open again in South Africa.

Rodney Green (Gillitts, 2020-06-27)

#272

I'm signing this because we are pensioners on long term campers touring our beautiful country.

Wessel Gerber (East london, 2020-06-27)

#275

There couldn't be a safer, healthier way to have leisure and be safe from spreading or catching Covid than camping. I have 5 secluded sites in my campsite in the Soutpansberg. Each site has a toilet and shower allocated for that site's use only. People need to get out and relax after this LONG period of restrictions. Casino's should have been the LAST tourism elements to open!!

Gail Maytham (Louis Trichardt, 2020-06-27)

#276

Because I think with the necessary rules we can safely go camping even across borders

Frikkie Potgieter (Welkom, 2020-06-27)

#279

Camping is my home.....please guys we need to stay somewhere.

Ursula Mostert (Pretoria, 2020-06-27)

Daar is geen manier wat mense mekaar kan aansteek terwyl hulle kamp nie.

Lizet Norton (Krugersdorp, 2020-06-27)

#283

I’m signing because I believe camping has a much lower Covid risk than many other activities already allowed.

Pieter Coetzer (Cape Town, 2020-06-27)

#285

It is necessary to save the camping industry just as it was for the recently opened Restaurants, Hair dressers,etc.

Neville Clifton (Richards Bay, 2020-06-27)

#286

Our Rustic Resort caters for camping only where the stands have bushveld between each other. People camp here with their own camping gear, bedding, kitchen facilities etc. We already have everything in place to stop spreaading the COVID19 according to tourism regulations. We urge the Government to reopen our industry for leasure camping asap.

Frank Van Der Spuy (Brits, 2020-06-27)

#289

The economy must go on. Lockdown may cause more deaths than Covid 19

Stephen Delport (Kempton Park, 2020-06-27)

#298

Camp owners need to survive. If strict protocols are put in place ie private ablutions - is there any other reason they should stay closed?

Lindy Vosloo (Johannesburg, 2020-06-27)

#299

We love the outdoors and our nature! The animals are missing us😊

Thelma Ward (Nelspruit, 2020-06-27)

To camp is our way of living and to get into Gods Give Nature

Wimpie Basson (Hermanus, 2020-06-27)

#303

There is no harm in camping as campers camp in their own tents/caravans with more than enough social distancing between them.

Eldone van der Spuy (Brits, 2020-06-27)

#308

Camping with your own goods can not bring harm to the next camper. The government should take time to visit camping sites to see that it is saver than in the city where the virus are more harmful.

Marina Marx (Brits, 2020-06-27)

#309

If the camping sites are not opened soon, with the necessary covid-19 precautions, many will be forced into liquidation and the industry as a whole will suffer tremendously

Gordon Major (Pietermaritzburg, 2020-06-27)

#312

Camping should be allowed as it is also a part of isolation as you are in your own stand not close to anybody else

Christo Botha (Pretoria, 2020-06-27)

#313

I enjoy nature and the outdoor experience

Pieter Coetzee (Krugersdorp, 2020-06-27)

#315

We keep social distancing. Use private ablutions one obe at a time use.

Nicolas J Maree (Ballito, 2020-06-27)

Its safer to be at the waters than in a restaurant. Or a Mall.
So why not let us fish

Burt Hamman (Klerksdorp, 2020-06-27)

#330

Prohibition of camping make no sense at all.

Maynard van der Merwe (Jeffreys Bay, 2020-06-27)

#331

Our economy can't take this anymore.
People get sick and die of wotse things, now and even before!

Melicia de Meyer (Randfontein, 2020-06-27)

#332

Kampeer moes lankal oop gewees het. Meer mense sou uit die bewoonde areas gewees het, in die bos, met al die natuurlike medikasie om hulle, dus beter geisoleerd teen COVID. Meeste kampeerders is al lankal toegerus om in elk geval veilig, gerieflik en skoon te kamp

Annastashia Joubert (Kempton Park, 2020-06-27)

#333

Camping isn't nearly as dangerous as going to the theater. We want to camp!!!

Annemarie Koekemoer (Mookgaphong, 2020-06-27)

Tourism brings in lot of income to SA. Lots is people are losing their jobs and businesses they worked hard for!!!

Maryka Kirstein (Roodepoort, 2020-06-27)

#339

I’m signing because many experts actually advise that it’s more healthy to be outdoors as much as possible. Camping spots are mostly outdoor away from the masses.

Butch Robertson (Worcester, 2020-06-27)

#340

I am concerned about the industry. Camping is very safe, no social interaction is necessary.

Alta Visagie (Dunnottar, 2020-06-27)

#344

We feel that using our caravan is a "home away from.home" and we can keep social distance by sitting under our rally tent and enjoying the scenery

Reinet Pretorius (Gauteng, 2020-06-27)

#345

We miss the camping

John Gloster (Springs, 2020-06-27)

#351

I'm signing because South Africa is a magnificent country and we should do all we can to encourage outdoor activities, especially because hiking and camping is both healthy and less expensive than other activities.

Jean Richter (Wingate Park, 2020-06-27)

#353

We own a resort and have not had income for 4 months. It is difficult to survive. Please open the holiday industry

Gwen Badenhorst (Witbank, 2020-06-27)

#354

We are pensioners and camp more than 8 months a year and only 2 per site and we defenitly contribute to a lot of campsites income. The owners of CaravanParks is dependant on that income as it is their only income.

I think camping is less dangerous than casino or restaurant if distance between campingsites are enlarged., e.g. 50 or 75 % occupationrule and max 4 persons per allocated campimg site are allowed.

Gerd Kopanski (Randburg, 2020-06-27)
