Chapter 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Background In response to the request of the Government of the Republic of South Africa (hereinafter referred to as the "Government of South Africa"), the Government of Japan decided to implement the Study on Tourism Promotion and Development Plan in the Republic of South Africa (hereinafter referred to as "the Study"). In November 1999, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (hereinafter referred to as "JICA"), the official agency responsible for the implementation of technical cooperation programs, sent a Preparatory Study Team to hold discussions with the Department of Environmental Affairs & Tourism (hereinafter referred to as "DEAT") and South African Tourism (hereinafter referred to as "SA Tourism"). On February 7 2001, DEAT and JICA agreed upon the Scope of Work for the Study. In February 2001, JICA called for technical offers for the selection of a consultant to implement the Study. A team of experts organized by PADECO Co., Ltd. and Pacific Consultants International Co., Ltd. was selected and contracted as the JICA Study Team (hereinafter referred to as "the Study Team") in March 2001. The Study Team commenced work in South Africa in early May 2001. At the same time, JICA organized an advisory committee comprising tourism experts within the Government of Japan in order to advise JICA on technical as well as policy issues of the Study at critical junctures of the Study progress. Members of the Advisory Committee as well as the Study Team are shown in Appendix A. Since the Study commencement, four reports have been issued: Progress Report (1) in July 2001 covering an overview of the Tourism Sector in South Africa, an Interim Report in September 2001 covering a survey of East Asian market for South Africa and a selection method of focus areas for further tourism development study, Progress Report (2) covering tourism development plans for the selected focus areas and Draft Final Report in April 2002 the covering findings and recommended plans obtained through the work from May 2001 to March 2002, which all tasks that are required by the Scope of Work of the Study. The contents of the Draft Final Report were also presented at the Seminar on 21 May in South Africa. Then, the Team sought comments within a month period and prepared this Final Report. Various component subjects of the Study, their inter-relationship, and their timing as well as reporting schedule are shown in Appendix A. 1.2 Objectives of the Study The objectives of the Study as specified by the Scope of Work are: 1 To formulate a tourism promotion and making strategy with the purpose of generating the Japanese and East Asian Market for South Africa; 2 To formulate tourism development plans for the focus areas, including investment plans and feasibility studies for priority projects; and 3 To transfer skills and technology on tourism development through the Study. 1.3 Study Area The tourism promotion and marketing strategy for East Asian Market is in principle applicable to the whole country while the four focus areas have been selected out of candidate areas scattered over the whole country. 2 Figure 1.3.1 Study Areas Kruger National Park Blyde River Zululand Durban Sun City Madikwe Game Reserve Bloemfontein Kimberley Mkambati Nature Reserve Mountain Zebra National Park Addo Elephant National Park Tsitsikamma National Park Namaqualand Cape Town 3 1.4 Report Organization This report is Volume I of Draft Final Report of the Study on Tourism Promotion and Development Plan in the Republic of South Africa.

The breakdown of the population by home language as per the 1996 Census: Isizulu, 9,200,144 (23% of population); IsiXhosa, 7,196,118 (18%); Afrikaans, 5,811,547 (14%); Sepedi, 3,695,846 (9.2%); English, 3,457,467 (8.6%); Setswana, 3,301,774 (8.2%); Sesotho, 3,104,197 (7.7%); Xitsonga, 1,756,105 (4.4%); Siswati, 1,013,193 (2.5%); Tshivenda, 876,409 (2.2%); IsiNdebele, 586,961 (1.5%). The use of any of these is a constitutional right “whenever practical”. Each province may adopt any of these as its official language. English is the sole language of command and instruction in the armed forces. Almost 80% of the population in South Africa professes the Christian faith. Other major religious groups are the Hindus, Muslims and Jews. About 20% of the population do not belong to any of the major religions but regard themselves as traditionalists or of no specific religious affiliation. Freedom of worship is guaranteed by the Constitution and official policy is one of non-interference in religious practices. 1 Urban area is defined by Statistics South Africa as a settlement, which has been legally proclaimed as being urban. In Census ’96, urban areas consisted of formal (City/town), informal and other urban areas. A city/town is a built-up area within a proclaimed municipal or local authority boundary with various structures built according to municipal by-laws. Informal urban areas are found within a city/town but mainly consist of informal dwellings (squatter areas). Other urban areas may include mines, factories and municipal hostels, hospitals, prisons, and other institutions contained within a local authority boundary. 6 More than half of South Africans (22 million) live in poverty and survive on an average income of R144 a month. Among the poor, 94% are African and about 70% live in rural areas2. 2.1.2 Households In total, there are 9,059,570 households in South Africa 3 . The province with the most households was Gauteng with 1,964,161 (22%) and then KwaZulu-Natal with 1,660,936 (18%). The province with the fewest households was Northern Cape with 186,968 (2%).

On the contrary, non-urban households are the majority in Northern Province, North West, and Eastern Cape. The average monthly household expenditure is R 2,9544. Provincial disparity can be observed as Gauteng households are the highest at R 5,086 followed by Western Cape with R 3,919.

  • Eastern Cape

    Eastern Cape

    Eastern Cape Introduction South Africa’s ‘wild’ province, the Eastern Cape features expanses of untouched beach, bush and forest. This is Nelson Mandela’s home province, and an area with some enticing attractions – pristine beaches, abundant wildlife and spectacular scenery. Top attractions Addo Elephant National Park This is one of the few reserves in the world that offers the Big Seven – elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, great white sharks and southern right whales. The 164 000ha park, which is situated near Port Elizabeth, is rated as one of the best places in Africa to see elephants up close. It also has the world’s largest breeding colony of Cape gannets, rare flightless dung beetles, 1 000-year-old cycads, and hundreds of pastel-coloured proteas. Cambedoo National Park This stunningly beautiful reserve falls within the Karoo and is home to rare plants and wildlife. It almost completely surrounds the town of Graaff-Reinet, the oldest town in the Eastern Cape. Its most famous attraction, however, is the Valley of Desolation, made up of spectacular dolerite pillars. Prehistoric fossils have been discovered on the floor of the valley. There are plenty of animals to be found, including the bat-eared fox, meerkat, vervet monkeys and Cape mountain zebra. Baviaanskloof wilderness area The Baviaanskloof mega-reserve is a natural, unspoilt mountain kingdom. The 200km-long Baviaanskloof, the Valley of the Baboons, is so named because of the large numbers of baboons in the area. Spectacular plant and animal life compete for attention. Tsitsikamma National Park This park forms part of the Garden Route National Park.

Population trends of seabirds breeding in South Africa’s Eastern Cape and the possible influence of anthropogenic and environmental change. Marine Ornithology 37: 159–174. Eleven species of seabird breed in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province. Numbers of African Penguin Spheniscus demersus and Cape Gannet Morus capensis in the province increased in the 20th century, but penguins decreased in the early 21st century. A recent eastward displacement of Sardine Sardinops sagax off South Africa increased the availability of this food source to gannets but did not benefit penguins, which have a shorter foraging range. Fishing and harbour developments may have influenced the recent decrease of penguins.

    Aviation Rankings' Misjudgment: Inspiration of Egypt Air and Cairo International Airport Cases

    Journal of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels-University of Sadat City, Vol. 4, Issue (2/1), December, 2020 Aviation Rankings' Misjudgment: Inspiration of Egypt Air and Cairo International Airport Cases 1Farouk Abdelnabi Hassanein Attaalla 1Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University Abstract This study aims to make a comprehensive assessment of the three most popular aviation rankings; Skytrax, AirHelp and TripAdvisor from a critical perspective supported by a global field study conducted in the same methodology as these three rankings have been done. This study is based on the descriptive statistics to analyze field data gathered about EgyptAir and other airlines, Cairo International Airport and other airports and comparing these results with what is published in these three rankings in 2018. The current study reveals that the results of these three global rankings are characterized by shortcomings and lack of value and unfairness. Finally, the study suggests a model for fairness and equity in the rankings of airlines and airports. Keywords: Air Rankings, Egypt Air, Cairo International Airport, Equity. 1- Introduction Through scanning the international airlines and airports rankings for the recent five years from 2013 to 2018, it is found that no understandable and embarrassing absence for Egypt Air (MS) and Cairo International Airport (CAI). However, Arabic airlines and Airports such as Qatar Airways, Emirates Airways, Oman Air, Etihad Airways, Saudia Airlines, Royal Jordanian and Air Maroc, Hamad International Airport and Queen Alia International Airport have occupied different ranks through these years. Their ranks may be one of the top 10 airline and airport positions, while others occupy one of the top 100 airlines and airports in the world.

    Competitive Strategies and Entry Strategies of Low Cost Airline Incumbent 1time Airline A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Business Administration of Rhodes University by Diane Potgieter January 2007 Abstract This dissertation reports on the factors that contributed to the successful entry strategy of 1time Airline, a low cost carrier, into the South African airline industry as well as its competitive strategies within this context. Research interviews were conducted in November 2005 and research material gathered until end January 2006. Key issues include an evaluation of 1time's business model in relation to other low cost entrants as well as against material sourced through interviews with 1time Airline management, employees and consumers of the airline's product. Porter's Generic Strategies and Five Forces model are used as a framework in evaluating the airline. It is found that Nohria, Joyce and Robertson's "4+2 Formula" is effectively implemented at the airline, but that further implementation of Game Theory in terms of alliances should be investigated for continued success and sustainability.

    Tourism Remains a Key Driver of South Africa's National Economy And

    Tourism remains a key driver of South Africa’s national economy and contributes to job creation. The tourism industry is a major contributor to the South African economy and employment of citizens. The sector contributes about 9% to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). The National Tourism Sector Strategy (NTSS) seeks to increase tourism’s total direct and indirect contribution to the economy from R189,4 billion in 2009 to R318,2 billion in 2015 and R499 billion in 2020. During 2016, 2 893 268 tourists arrived in South through air, 7 139 580 used road transport and 11 315 used sea transport. The majority of tourists, 9 706 602 (96,6%) were on holiday compared to 255 932 (2,5%) and 81 629 (0,8%) who came for business and study purposes respectively. The highest increase, 38,1% was for tourists from China (from 84 691 in 2015 to 116 946 in 2016), followed by India, 21,7% (from 78 385 in 2015 to 95 377 in 2016) and Germany, 21,5% (from 256 646 in 2015 to 311 832 in 2016). Tourists from Southern African Development Community Community countries (7 313 684) increased by 11,2%, from 6 575 244 in 2016. The highest increase, 26,0% was for tourists from Lesotho (from 1 394 913 in 2015 to 1 757 058 in 2016), followed by Botswana, 14,5% (from 593 514 in 2015 to 679 828 in 2016). The number of tourists from ‘other’ African countries (increased by 9,9% from 170 870 in 2015 to 187 828 in 2016.
