3 Situational Analysis (January to March 2018)
There was improvement overall in the economy between January 2018 and March The SA Reserve Bank indicated a moderate improvement in the inflation rate supported by an appreciation of the Rand. The political developments in this period as well as the ratings by rating agency Moody’s supported the strengthening of the Rand. Consumer confidence also seen an upswing in the first three months of 2018 as reported by the FNB/BER Consumer Confidence Index. However, the translation of this improved confidence to increased spending is yet to be seen as unemployment still remains high. Income from employment, family contributions and pensions contracted in 2017 leaving consumers strained financially. Unemployment affects 1 in 4 South Africans, and 1 in 3 of year olds. This means that the there is a burden on the employed population to support the unemployed and hence we have a higher level of dependency. This has far reaching effect especially on discretionary items of which travel is such an item.

PROGRAMME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE KPI REASONS FOR DEVIATION 3. Leisure Tourism Marketing To contribute to inclusive economic growth by increasing the number of international and domestic tourists To contribute to an enhanced, recognised, appealing, resilient and competitive tourism and business events brand for South Africa across the target markets and segments Number of international tourist arrivals Total tourist foreign direct spend (R-billion) Percentage geographic spread of international tourist arrivals Percentage seasonality of international tourist arrivals Percentage brand positivity Percentage brand awareness Number of total domestic trips Number of domestic holiday trips Total domestic direct spend (R-billion) Domestic holiday revenue (R-billion) Percentage geographic spread of domestic tourist arrivals Percentage seasonality of domestic tourist arrivals Despite the international tourist arrivals target not being met in this quarter, there was a 3.6% growth in tourist arrivals in this quarter compared to the same quarter in the previous year. The recovery of the Africa land in this quarter (4.0%), was not sufficient to offset the loses recorded from the region earlier in the year. The regulatory barrier of visas in key source markets of China, India, Nigeria and New Zealand has negatively impacted tourist arrivals from the relevant regions. Brand awareness and brand positivity were negatively impacted by a number of incidents of crime against tourists in South Africa scored significantly below average on safety and security among our target audience in India, Kenya and Nigeria saw notable declines in brand positivity in These markets do not rate South Africa highly as a welcoming destination and this is another factor contributing to the poor brand performance.

Total domestic trips declined by 25% in this quarter compared to the same quarter in The continued decline in VFR trips (-29%) in this quarter was the biggest driver of this negative performance as VFR accounts for the largest share of all domestic trips. However, we also noted decreases in holiday trips (-11%) and business trips (-37%). Affordability remained the biggest barrier to travel with 57% of the respondents citing unaffordability/ no income as a barrier to travel. The consumer in SA faced strong head winds in 2017 with a recession early in the year and unemployment remaining high.

The large decrease in total domestic trips was the reason that the revenue target was not achieved. There was, however, an increase in the spend per trip in this period indicating that South Africans were rationalising their domestic travel by travelling less, but spending more on those trips that they did take.

54 % change in International tourist arrivals
Headline performance review – international tourism % change in International tourist arrivals 2017 vs 2016 Jan-Feb 2018 vs Jan-Feb 2017 South Africa World Total 2.4% 6.7% 4.9% Africa 0.8% 6.6% Rest of World 7.2% 0.6% Global tourist arrivals grew by a record 6.7% in 2017, the highest growth in seven years. Against this backdrop, South Africa saw growth of 2.4% in 2017. The top 3 source markets for South Africa are Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Mozambique, which combined accounted for 50% of total tourist arrivals. In contrast, Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australasia accounted for only 26% to total tourist arrivals. The top 3 source markets combined grew by a mere 1.9% in 2017. Tourist arrivals from the rest of the world (excluding Africa) grew by 7.2% in 2017, comparable to the growth in global tourist arrivals. 2018 seen a strong start to the year with tourist arrivals to South Africa growing by 4.9% in the first two months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. This year started with stronger growth from Africa while the rest of the world seen a slowdown in growth in the first two months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. Forward bookings for the period March 2018 to June 2018 indicate a 1.5% increase in air travel to South Africa and hence we are confident that the growth in tourist arrivals will strength through the year.

55 % change in Domestic tourist trips Domestic tourism trips by purpose
Headline performance review – Domestic tourism % change in Domestic tourist trips Domestic tourism trips by purpose 2017 vs 2016 Jan-Feb 2018 vs Jan-Feb 2017 Total -29% -31% Holiday 12% -50% VFR -38% -23% Domestic tourism did not perform well in 2017 with a decline of 29% recorded for the year. This performance was driven by a 38% decrease in VFR travel, which accounted for 60% of total domestic trips. VFR travel includes travelling for weddings and funerals. TRIPS TO EACH PROVINCE 2016 2017 Limpopo 8.4 4.6 Gauteng 4.5 3.1 KwaZulu Natal 4.2 2.5 Mpumalanga 1.7 2.0 Eastern Cape 2.9 1.5 Western Cape 2.1 1.4 North West 1.3 1.0 Free State 1.1 0.7 Northern Cape 0.5 0.4 In 2017, all provinces received fewer domestic trips with the exception of Mpumalanga. Limpopo was the largest beneficiary of domestic tourism, followed by Gauteng and then KZN. Encouragingly, we noted an increase of 12% in domestic holiday trips in We believe that the impact of the SA Tourism marketing campaigns has contributed to this performance. 2018 seen a negative start with total domestic trips declining by 31% in the first two months of 2018 compared to the same period in The declining trend in VFR travel continues in 2018 while we also recorded a decline in holidays trips in the first two months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. Quarter 4 Report 2017/18

56 Top of mind issues Domestic Tourism
The implementation of our Domestic Tourism Marketing Strategy has evolved from a focus of purely creating inspiration to now driving conversion. SA Tourism’s marketing awareness campaign “Sho’t Left” has been gaining traction as we seen an increase in domestic holiday trips of 12% between 2016 and We are, however, reliant on the trade (travel agencies/tour operators) to execute on the conversion (i.e. to compile, sell and deliver appropriate domestic packages). Our current distribution channel (Shot Left website and social media platforms) are not e-enabled, so they may show domestic appropriate packages with pricing however, these transactions cannot be executed electronically on the spot – the consumer is merely served with the contact details of the tour operator and they then have to interact outside of the channel in order to conclude the transaction. Research we conducted in the domestic tourism market has shown the lack of affordable accommodation and activities is a barrier for the domestic holiday tourist. Generally, the existing trade has and continues to focus on international tourists, it is the more commercially attractive segment as there are opportunities for higher pricing (margins). Previous attempts at incentivising these players to focus domestically has not yielded desired results, essentially they have tended to package existing itineraries as they do for international tourists, to domestic tourists at the similar pricing (profit maximising). To address these issues, SA Tourism has in initiated the following actions: Enter into agreements with established non-traditional distribution agents (e.g. retail supermarkets) who are able to convert the awareness created by SAT into actual sales – essentially our campaigns will have a call to action to drive people to go and buy at these outlets on the spot. The choice of distribution partner/s will take into account ease of access (including rural distribution) and various of payment options (e.g. lay-bye, stokvels, etc.) Together with the National Department of Tourism’s Destination Development Unit and Provincial Tourism Authorities (and by inference Local authorities), identify destinations/experiences that are suitable for enhancement/development specifically targeted at Domestic Tourism (incl Parks and other leisure experiences) – through this initiative aspects such as geographic spread and rural tourism will be taken into account Together with the National Department of Tourism’s Sector Support Unit and Provincial Tourism Authorities, develop a cadre of new entrants of DMCs and Tour Operators from the ground up who will have a focus on Domestic Tourism to address the existing market issues identified above – (they will identify, create and sell appropriate domestic travel packages), SAT will provide the marketing platforms and access At the same time as the above, SAT has started to develop partnerships with corporates and associations on key events countrywide (e.g. Cricket South Africa, Standard Bank, Soweto Marathon and cultural festivals) to target the events they sponsor/support as a means to stimulate travel and drive conversion. Technology investment through the National Visitors Information System (NTVIS) project, a public-private collaboration in the tourism industry in South Africa lead by Amadeus IT and supported by The National Department of Tourism, SA Tourism, once complete, will be a tool to be used to drive smart-data enabled solutions to individual users on their cell phones (a bespoke travel agent of sorts). This significant technological advancement was formally announced at Indaba 2018. The improvement of data collection is being reviewed by a Tourism Statistics Committee set up by Minister Hanekom. Members of the committee include the National Department of Tourism, Statistics SA, SA Tourism, TBCSA and the Department of Home Affairs. The Committee is working on the development of a robust national domestic survey led by Statistics SA which will then see the SA Tourism Domestic Survey be phased out. In the meanwhile, SA Tourism’s Domestic Tourism Survey is being certified according to the SA Statistical Quality Assessment Framework (SASQAF) of Statistics SA. Bring in Amadeus project

The improvement of data collection is being reviewed by a Tourism Statistics Committee set up by Minister Hanekom. Members of the committee include the National Department of Tourism, Statistics SA, SA Tourism, TBCSA and the Department of Home Affairs. The Committee is working on the development of a robust national domestic survey led by Statistics SA which will then see the SA Tourism Domestic Survey be phased out. In the meanwhile, SA Tourism’s Domestic Tourism Survey is being certified according to the SA Statistical Quality Assessment Framework (SASQAF) of Statistics SA. The National Visitors Information System (NTVIS) project (public-private collaboration lead by Amadeus IT) will also see the development of a Tourism Data Hub that will see the collection of tourism (big) data and provide advanced analytics and intelligence for the entire tourism industry. Regulatory barriers: Airlift Through the Air Access Programmes in partnership with the Provincial Tourism Authorities and the Airports Company, there is a drive for increased frequency and new airline route establishment across all provinces with International Airports. Thus far, Western Cape has succeeded in getting three new airlines flying directly into Cape Town, six route expansions and connected Cape Town with four new destinations. Durban has recently announced the introduction of a direct flight by BA from London- Heathrow to King Shaka International starting in October This will bring in 3 flights per week into Durban on this direct route. Alitalia returned to South Africa in April 2018 with a direct flight from Rome to Johannesburg. The airline now operates four flights per week servicing this route. Visas and UBCs Minister Hanekom has also begun making the case for a more user-friendly VISA regime in key markets especially Nigeria, India and China (NIC countries) Ministers Hanekom and Gigaba recently introduced plans to simplify travelling to South Africa with minors. A task team has been set up to streamline the process. Grading: Understanding that the value proposition of grading is largely unclear to consumers, we launched a marketing campaign earlier this year to educate the market on the value and benefit of grading. While we have begun to address the awareness and understanding of grading, we still have a challenge in getting uptake of grading by establishments. The playfield has been levelled between the formal establishments and the shared economy through the draft Amendment Bill to the Tourism Act which sees the introduction of thresholds for booking short term rentals.
