  • Plettenberg Bay, South Africa
    Plettenberg Bay, South Africa An antidote to the fast-lane lifestyle, Plettenberg Bay conjures up a setting with indigenous forests, spectacular surroundings, sun-kissed beaches, gorgeous vineyards, and an impassioned culture. From watching a migrating whale to walking with an elephant, “Plett,” as the locals call it, is a dream holiday destination with undiluted natural experiences. It is the highlight of The Garden Route – a road that winds past enchanted traditional villages, prodigious mountains, evergreen wetlands and picturesque coastline. Cape Town may steal the spotlight, but this is where the locals come out to play. History The first Europeans to explore this region in the 15th and 16th centuries were the Portuguese explorers followed by the Dutch and British sailors. The Portuguese named it 'Bahia das Alagoas,' that means “Bay of the Lagoons.” Things to Do in Plettenberg Bay Beaches – The 20-km coastline of town boasts golden-sand beaches and rocky shores. While the Central Beach is the hub for marine safaris and dive charters, the Lookout Beach is popular for swimming, surfing, and bodyboarding. Nature’s Valley Beach, perhaps the most scenic beach, is a paradise for birdwatchers. Robberg Beach and Keurbooms Beach, having Blue Flag status, are perfect for morning and evening walks. Birds of Eden – Opened in 2005, this sanctuary provides a safe haven for free-flight African birds and miniature monkeys. A huge two-hectare dome, among the largest in world, spans over indigenous forest. The sanctuary is home to over 3500 birds representing 200 species such as macaws, flamingos, cranes, parakeets, and ducks. Another highlight is an amphitheater with seating capacity of 200 guests.

  • {Insert Title of Chapter}
    TOURISM PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS 2016 Foreword As the tourism marketing arm of the South African Government, South African Tourism has developed an integrated marketing strategy that focuses on leisure and business events. Part of our business is to monitor and evaluate the performance of the tourism sector. This consolidated report prepared by the Strategic Research Unit provides a review of the performance of the tourism sector in 2016 against the South African Tourism mandate. This report only provides a summary of tourism’s performance and must be read in conjunction with the tables at the end of the report for the detail that inform the insights in this report. This report by the Strategic Research Unit is also based on the systems and methodologies that were developed and applied from 2001. In 2002, South African Tourism extended the survey of departing foreign tourists at OR Tambo International Airport from only in summer and winter to throughout the year. In 2003, this was extended to Cape Town International Airport. The data collection was also expanded to include monthly surveys of the largest segment of foreign arrivals, land border arrivals. The sample is weighted to tourist arrivals as released by Statistics SA. These changes were made for more robust results as the sample sizes are larger and drawn in way that ensure representativeness. In 2014, Statistics SA made changes to the release of its Tourism & Migration reports and now no longer report on transit arrivals. As a result of this change, the weighting methodology has been revised and the results in this report are now not comparable to reports prior to 2013.
