INTERNATIONAL TOURIST ARRIVALS TO SOUTH AFRICA

A total of 8,073,552 tourists came in South Africa in 2010, showing an annual increase of 15.1% from the 7,011,865 tourists recorded in 2009. It is observed that the overall number of tourist were higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 for all months. However, the pattern is largely similar by month, with the exception of June where there was an increase in the number of tourist between May and June 2010 whereas there was a decline in 2009 during the same months (SA Tourism, 2010: 6).

Foreign tourist arrivals to South Africa grew by 10.2% (8,490,14) in 2012 to reach 9,188,368 million tourists while overseas tourist arrivals increased by 15.1% in the same period. This performance is far above the global average which saw a 3.9% increase in tourist arrivals. Revenue generated by tourist arrivals increased by 7.6% (R5,4 billion) compared to 2011, with the key drivers of the growth being the increase in foreign arrivals and average spend per tourist (SA Tourism, 2013: 6)

The land markets were the largest contributors to total revenue. The revenue of R43,8 billion generated by these markets represent a decrease of R3,3billion (-7.1%) from 2011. Revenue generated by air markets increased by 36.7% (R8.8 billion) from R23,8

billion in 2011 to R32,6 billion in 2012 due to increases in tourist arrivals and average spend per tourist (SA Tourism, 2013).

For example, the total amount spent directly in South Africa by foreign tourists, was R8,700 (in nominal terms), a decrease of -2.2% (-R200) over 2011. Adjusting this expenditure for inflationary effects resulted in a decrease of -7.9% (-R700). Expenditure on shopping, both for goods, for retail and for personal use were the largest contributors to revenue. Shopping for goods for personal use increased by 10.5% (R2,6 billion) while shopping for retail for resale decreased by -18.2% (-R3.3 billion) (SA Tourism, 2013).

Growth from Africa land markets remained strong in 2012 with an 8.2% (475,817) increase resulting in a total of 6,303,945 compared with tourist arrivals in 2011. Zimbabwe and Swaziland were the best performing markets in this region and grew by 19.0% (294,966) and 9.8% (68,608) respectively (SA Tourism, 2013).
