Linking Government priorities to SA Tourism priorities • Government has set five key priorities for the next five years including the creation of decent work and sustainable livelihoods, education, health, rural development including food security and land reform and the fight against crime and corruption. • These five priorities has been converted into Government’s Medium-Term Strategic Framework which highlights 10 priorities and 12 outcomes over the MTEF period. Tourism falls under the Economic Sectors and Employment Cluster, one of the 5 Government clusters and its actions appear under Outcome 4: “Decent employment through inclusive economic growth”.
NTSS – Targets • Arrivals –15 million foreign arrivals by 2020. • Domestic tourists to grow by 3.4m from 14.6m in 2009 to 18m by 2020 and total trips to grow from 30m to 54m, with holiday trips increasing by 5m. • GDP – Increase tourism’s contribution to the GDP from an estimated R189.4 billion in 2009 to R499 billion by 2020. • Contribution of domestic tourism to GDP to grow to 60% from 52% in 2009. • Job creation – the tourism sector is committed to consolidating its efforts to create jobs and aims to create 225 000 jobs by 2020 – 177 000 in the tourism sector and 48 000 through direct government investment.

Importance of Africa to meet NTSS targets Africa delivers the highest number of tourist arrivals • Africa delivers more than 70% of all arrivals every year • Tourist arrivals from Africa grew at ~10.3% annually from 2003–2010. Africa’s contribution to the total tourist arrivals to South Africa increased from 68.1% in 2003 to 77.0% in 2010 Africa is growing • Africa witnessed a remarkable growth in GDP and GDP per Capita (18.9% and 16.3%, respectively), from 2003–2008 • Tourist arrivals from Africa to South Africa increased at a much faster rate of 10.3%, compared to the growth of 3.3% in tourist arrivals from rest of the world, during 2003–2010 • The value that Africa brings to the South African economy goes beyond tourism (i.e., hotels and attractions), and has major benefits for the whole economy (especially in manufacturing and other downstream industries) • Africa is South Africa’s natural hinterland • Accessibility of South Africa to a significant number of travellers, particularly those in Southern African countries, and their familiarity with the country, are the major benefits • South Africa captures more than 50% of total outbound departures from African countries Africa is accessible • South Africa has the potential to further exploit its proximity and strength as a choice destination in the African market, which is still emerging from purpose-based travel into a true leisure-driven tourism market • South Africa receives a relatively small number of travellers from countries other than African countries, which implies that there is tremendous opportunity for growth Africa still represents untapped potential Source: Grail Research & Monitor Analysis
Invest only in selected markets to deliver volume and value Convince consumers that SA can be trusted to deliver memorable experiences Engage Stakeholders to deliver quality visitor experience that re-affirm the brand promise Work the distribution channel to promote SA Energise and empower the organisation to innovate and achieve excellence Our Strategies to deliver on the outcome
These 5 strategies have been converted to 5 Programmes to comply with the National Treasury Annual Resource Plan template: Programme 1: International Portfolio Marketing (purpose:to increase international arrivals focusing on Africa growth in particular & spend by marketing SA internationally and aggressively grow Africa) Programme 2: Head Office marketing (purpose: provision of support & toolkits for international regions to promote global visibility of SA brand & to aggressively promote a culture of domestic tourism) Programme 3: Grading of tourism products (purpose: promote word-of-mouth international and domestic marketing, following quality delivery of experiences to visiting international and domestic tourists, through the grading of tourism establishments using global best-practice grading systems and business processes) Programme 4: Head Office financial support (purpose: provision of real-time accurate financial information and business processes to ensure quality execution of approved Business Plans & Budgets while complying with policies and procedures (which will maximise our chances to maintain clean audit reports) Programme 5: Head Office administrative support (purpose: 1.provision of human resources, systems and structures to support execution of all approved Business Plans and Budgets 2. To fully implement the Convention Bureau & achieve its KPA’s)
Six Strategic Orientated Goals • Annual arrivals to South Africa increase to 12 068 030 by 2015 (NTSS target) and 15 000 000 by 2020 while the number of domestic tourists per annum should increase to 16 million by 2015; • The average spend per arrival in South Africa is R 12 536 per person during the 2012 calendar year; • Become the most preferred Tourism Brand by obtaining an average positive brand awareness percentage of 79% in all the markets where Brand Tracking is done; • To deliver on the quality experience expected by the international and domestic tourist by having at least graded 6 172 tourism products in South Africa by 31 March 2013; • To continuously improve internal policies, procedures and business processes so that it supports the spending of no less than 98% or no more than 102% of its consolidated annual approved budget as well as the achievement of clean annual audit reports • To grow South Africa’s business events industry, and continuously improve the culture within the organisation by living the SAT values and thereby reduce its average annual turnover rate to no more than 10% while achieving an average score of at least 3,3 in the Deloitte Best-Company-to-Work-for survey.
Strategic Outcome Oriented Goal 1: To market South Africa in such a way that annual arrivals to South Africa increase to 12 068 030 by 2015 and 15 000 000 by 2020 Historic arrival targets and actual arrivals were as follows: • 2009 actual arrivals: 9 933 966 (3,6% increase over 2008 actual) • 2010 actual arrivals: 11 395 700 (14,7% increase over 2009 actual) • 2011 calendar year arrival target: 11 504 920 ( 0,96% increase over 2010 actual) • 2012 calendar year arrival target: 11 922 201 (Tourist: 8 460 226) ( 3,6% increase in arrivals over 2011 target) • 2013 calendar year arrival target: 12 343 315 ( 3,5% increase over 2012 target) • 2014 calendar year arrival target: 12 683 472 ( 2,7% increase over 2013 target) • At its September 2011 Board meeting the Board agreed that SAT must include tourist targets as well. Not having adequate data points (every 5 years for 1 year projected) to set these tourist targets, the following must be noted: • The tourist arrival target is estimated using the annual average incidence of tourist arrivals within the visitor arrivals for 2009 and 2010. • This method of estimation is not reliable as the number of tourist arriving each month is variable. • The data on tourist arrivals is an estimation only and not targets.
MTEF allocation to aggressively grow Africa Goal 1 Continued……
Objectives to drive growth from the continent to meet NTSS targets • Increasing regional awareness of South Africa as a tourism and leisure destination. • Increase arrivals and spend from Africa to contribute to GDP and job creation. • In SADC , our market penetration is high but opportunities exist to promote repeat travel and to turn shoppers into holiday travel. • In Africa Air markets, sizable opportunity exists to attract high value business and leisure traveller. • Setting up five marketing offices in key African markets by 2020. • Implementation of regional tourism programmes.
Overview – Air markets • In addition to developing each market individually, we will look at growing arrivals in key regional • markets adjacent to Kenya and Nigeria, with spillover effects from activities in the DRC East African Regional Strategy West African Quick Win Strategy Central African Spillover Effect • Kenya is a relatively small market on a standalone basis, with only ~32k arrivals in 2010 • Serving additional EAC countries, such as Uganda and Tanzania would be beneficial • Combined arrivals of over 70k • Similar consumers • Good regional integration and growth • The Nigerian market is a large, and fast growing market • Serving Ghana adds ~20k arrivals to the Nigerian market • Arrivals from Ghana are growing fast • Combined arrivals from Ghana and Nigeria represent ~81% of ECOWAS’s arrivals or ~70k arrivals • The DRC market remains an investment market • Its high tourism potential, however, warrants increased investment • Due to the proximity and high connectivity between the DRC and Congo-Brazaville, any activities in the DRC will have spillover effects into Congo-Brazaville Summary of Opportunity Key Elements of Approach • Our strategy in West Africa will include showing, in the short term, our presence in Ghana by developing critical trade and media partnerships and making very targeted investments in the market • In addition, we will build our understanding of consumers and trade in Ghana through targeted research • Finally, we will continue to monitor the market’s growth and adapt our investment decisions in the long term • Limited additional effort is required in the short to medium term as effects will automatically spill over with no additional effort • We will, however, continue to monitor Congo-Brazaville and other surrounding Central African states to leverage opportunities as they arise • Large regional market potential suggests the need to establish presence in the market rapidly • This presence will start immediately by building key relationships (e.g., media, trade, etc.) to be leveraged for winning in these markets • In the short term, we will start developing a fully-fledged regional strategy for the EAC
