Tourism operators still reeling from Ebola effects

This has created dire consequences for major tourism businesses, especially Chobe Holdings Limited and Wilderness Safaris, as reflected in their recently released full year financial results for the year ended 28 February 2015.

Wilderness Safaris stated that for the reporting period, although the effect of Ebola was not evident in the first three quarters of last year, it came later in the group’s booking cycle showing the impact in a lower than expected fourth quarter and a slow start to the new financial year.
