The Department of Transport has published proposed changes to South Africa’s tourist transport rules, including requirements for operating licences, accreditation, insurance and vehicle documentation. Gauteng tourism operators and other stakeholders have been invited to review the draft National Land Transport Regulations and submit comments by 9 November 2026. The proposals matter to businesses providing tourist transport because they set out how operators could apply for accreditation and licences, what documents would be required and the conditions that could apply to vehicles carrying tourists.
