Father Christmas cannot bring the tourism industry better news than that of the petrol price decrease of R 1,60 per litre as of Wednesday 3 December. This brings the price of petrol down to R 7,11 at the coast. The price of diesel will drop by about 80 cents per litre.
Tourism to the Garden Route and to country areas will receive a positive boost from the petrol price decrease, having taken a bad knock when the petrol price was more than R 10 a litre during winter.
A drop in the interest rate may also occur in December, which will be a further boost for tourism.
