Situational Analysis • Following the acceleration in the second quarter, South Africa’s GDP growth was recorded at 0.3% in the fourth quarter. • Inflation was considerably above the desired limit at 6.6% in Q4 of 2016. • Unemployment was notably high at 26.5%, up two percentage points from Q4 2015. • Retail spending was also on the downturn in December 2016, further indicating a constrained economy. • Together with the ongoing drought - which impacted food prices and availability as well as water consumption - consumers were generally restrained in their spending in spite of the usual season’s festivities.
Organisational Performance for Q4 • SA Tourism achieved quarterly targets for 5 of its 14 KPIs: • Number of international tourist arrivals achieved; • Reviewed leisure tourism market portfolio; • Stakeholder engagement matrix in consultation with stakeholders; • Unqualified audit; and • Percentage of staff turnover. • SA Tourism did not achieve targets for 9 of its 14 KPIs: • Number of domestic holiday trips; • Number of business events hosted in South Africa; • Number of business delegates hosted in South Africa; • Total tourism revenue; • Percentage of brand positivity achieved; • Stakeholder satisfaction score; • Number of graded accommodation establishments; • Number of graded rooms; and • Staff satisfaction score. • Although the quarter 4 target for Total Tourism Revenue was not achieved, the annual target was exceeded.
International Tourist Arrivals • Foreign arrivals accounted for 2.6 million of total tourism trips an increase of 8.7% compared to 2015. Africa remains SA Tourism’s biggest source region followed by Europe and North America. • The fastest growing regions were Central & South America (73.8%), Indian Ocean Islands (30.6%), Middle East (29.1%) and Europe (15.7%). • The main driver of the increase in foreign trips was tourists visiting for leisure. • MICE tourists and business shopping remained relatively stable compared to 2015 while business travellers (corporate travel) saw a -49.4% decline from last year.
South Africa received 2.6 million tourists with a growth of 8.7% from 2015 and CAGR of 0.8% from 2014 in this quarter. Arrivals from Central & South America led the double-digit growth when compared to last year and CAGR of over 30% with Asia, Indian Ocean Islands and Middle East also growing by CAGR in double digits.
Geographic Spread • The provincial spread in South Africa has improved from an international perspective with the arrivals increasing in 6 of the 9 provinces in this quarter. • The provinces that lead the growth were Northern Cape, Eastern Cape and Free State with the double digit growth over 2015. • Gauteng was the most visited province in this quarter and grew to reach 1.17 million tourist arrivals with a total of 9.22 million bednights generating an estimated R8.12 billion in revenue. On average tourists stayed 8.2 nights. • Western Cape is the 2nd most visited province with 474 462 tourist arrivals generating 4.93 million bednights and R5.10 billion in revenue.
International Tourist Arrivals • This year-on-year growth is on par with Australia and well ahead of Thailand for this quarter but our compound annual growth rate (CAGR(2014-2016)) for 2016 is behind both Australia and Thailand. • Leading our growth are the Central & South American, Middle Eastern & Asian markets each with double digit CAGR and year-on-year growth. • Africa-air also grew by double-digits compared to last year (10.8%), with Africa-land growing below the average for the quarter (6.4%). However in terms if CAGR Africa land saw a -2.4% decline from 2014 levels. • Australasia is the only other major sub-region after Africa-land to not have grown above 2014 levels. % Y-o-Y Growth * CAGR Growth (2014-2016) -0.9% *1.9% 8.8% *9.4% 8.7% *0.8%
The pipeline is looking positive for South Africa as the number of bookings are showing a positive trend, if things remain the same we can expect more tourist arrivals for the beginning half of 2017. Source: Forward Keys
Domestic Tourism Performance Indicators • Domestic tourism generated a total of R7,7 billion in Q4 2016, which is a 10% decrease from the same period in 2015. • The decline in revenue was due to a decline in number of trips taken in this period. Domestic tourists that took trips in this period increased their length of their trips but were budget conscious as they did not increase their average expenditure. • Revenue from visiting friends and relatives (VFR) orientated trips remained the biggest contributor but the share thereof decreased from 46% to 45%. • Holiday trip contribution accounted for about a third of revenue – down from 34% to 32%. • Almost 2 in 5 (38%) South Africans could not afford to take a domestic trip in Q4 2016. A constrained economy alongside high unemployment deterred people from taking a trip. • The decrease in total trips was largely driven by a decrease in leisure related trips (VFR and holiday trips). • Business trips increased in this period • Limpopo continued to receive the most number of trips, followed by KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. The number of VFR trips were the cause of increased visits to Limpopo.
