South African Travel & Tourism Sector Discussed by Timetric in New Report Published at MarketPublishers.com

22 Oct 2014 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – South Africa’s hotel market has grown in popularity in terms of investment in hotels, partially driven by disturbances in other African nations like Tunisia, Kenya and Egypt, where tourist numbers have declined. Top international operators are expanding in the market to reap benefits from the soaring demand for accommodation owing to a hike in international and domestic tourist volumes. For instance, Marriott acquired Protea, the largest hotel operator in the country, in April 2014, to take a leadership position in the market.

International departures reached the 5.3 million mark as of 2013. A considerably higher volume of domestic trips as opposed to outbound trips attests to the fact that South Africans tend to prefer domestic rather than foreign holidays.

Besides its traditional source markets in Africa, demand in the South African tourism sector has increased from emerging countries such as China and India. The arrivals of tourists from China posted the highest growth as of 2013, at a rate of just under 15%, with arrivals from Brazil, India and Russia following after.
