Guesthouses and hospitality businesses say fears around a potential Day Zero are already translating into cancellations and growing uncertainty.
In a town that depends on tourism to drive its local economy, business owners in Knysna say fears around a possible Day Zero are already translating into cancellations and a slowdown in bookings, raising concerns about the impact on livelihoods.”So we had a lot of cancellations in December, locals having heard the bad news and not wanting to come. So, you know, the word is not pleasant because everyone seems to be panicking a lot, said Pickler.
