The City of Cape Town advocates for an air corridor to South America Posted by Jordyn Johnson on 11 April 2023 The City of Cape Town is advocating to open an air corridor between it and South America. Alderman James Vos, Cape Town mayoral committee member for economic growth, and CT Tourism CEO Enver Duminy are currently on a trade mission at the World Tourism Market Latin America. The Cape Town group is engaging with tourism operators, airlines, investment agencies, and other relevant bodies such as the Investment Facilitation Agency for Sao Paulo, the Rio Tourism Authority, and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency. There are no direct flights between Cape Town and any South American city at this stage. The group is now advocating for a South-to-South link, as ‘it will open up new market opportunities for exporters and benefit [the] economy,’ Vos told Travel News. He continued to say that ‘It will create jobs, and stimulate supply and demand for Cape-made products. Likewise, it will benefit the tourism industry’ in Cape Town as it will ‘create a direct route to attract travellers.’ Picture: Unsplash ALSO READ: Cape cobra sneaks onto aircraft, pilot makes emergency landing Follow us on social media for more travel news, inspiration, and guides.
