| 2335 | | 2022 | Tourism is widely considered to be a viable vector for sustainable socio-economic
development on the African continent due to the integrative nature of its value chain
(forward and backward linkages with suppliers and service providers), as well as
economic multiplier effect (tourism receipts, export products, employment creation,
local economic development) (Matiza & Slabbert, 2019). However, in light of the
COVID-19 pandemic-induced moratorium on international travel, tourism demand is
expected to contract by up to 75% in 2020 (Ruiz-Estrada, Park & Lee, 2020).
According to the World Tourism Organisation globally tourism contracted with 73% in
2020 and 72% in 2021 (UNWTO, 2022). Arrivals to Africa contracted by 69% in 2020
and 74% in 2021. The result was the same for South Africa where arrivals contracted
by 73% in 2020 and 78% in 2021 (UNWTO). The discovery of the new COVID-19
variant, Omicron, disrupted global travel again in 2021. As a result, a significant
proportion of tourism destination countries focused on pivoting from international
tourism toward domestic tourism as a strategy to resuscitate the tourism market
(Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, OECD - 2020). However,
in South Africa, the over-reliance on international tourists for many years added
pressure to the industry but also a recognition of the importance of domestic tourists
that should be the backbone of the industry | North-West University | Report | Tourism Sector Demand and Supply | N4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-100 | https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/SeminarDocs/South%20African%20tourism%20sector%20demand%20and%20supply-towards%20post-COVID-19%20resilience.pdf?csf=1&e=xuzEPH | | Presentation | | | | | | | | 2022/06/20 10:51:28 | FINAL REPORT SOUTH AFRICAN TOURISM SECTOR DEMAND AND SUPPLYTOWARDS POST- COVID-19 RESILIENCE ABBREVIATIONS GDP Gross Domestic Product SADC Southern African Development | 395 | https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx | pdf | False | pdf | | | |
| 2355 | | 2022 | The report provides the context of the study, stipulating the aim, objectives and research
questions. In relation to the rationale and purpose of the research, the importance of
domestic tourism globally and in South Africa specifically is highlighted. Furthermore,
domestic tourism’s role in the tourism sector’s recovery post the devastating impacts of
the COVID-19 pandemic is underscored. The theoretical/ conceptual framework that
informs the research is the sustainable tourism development approach, embedded in an
ecosystem-based operational model, that permits an examination of complex systems
and phenomena (such as tourism) that have multi-dimensional aspects and impacts
influenced by environmental, political, economic, and social factors. | University of KwaZulu-Natal | Report | Revolutionising Domestic Tourism | N4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-102 | https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/SeminarDocs/UKZN%20Re-examining%20perspective%20on%20recovery%20of%20South%20Africa%27s%20domestic%20Tourism%20ina%20COVID19%20environment.pdf?csf=1&e=h6aOZk | | Presentation | | | | | | | | 2022/06/24 13:02:55 | Resilience: the ability/ capacity to adapt to changes as well as recover from or deal with challenges, difficulties and risks Sustainability: is a complex phenomenon of engaging in | 152 | https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx | pdf | False | pdf | | | |
| 2332 | | 2022 | The novel coronavirus pandemic of the year 2019 (COVID-19) may be considered as
the most significant disruptive event for human travel since the Second World War.
The worldwide viral outbreak brought the modern global order, and travel as we know
it, to a complete standstill. There is much evidence that the impact and recovery from
the COVID-19 pandemic will be unprecedented, and that this recovery will be both
different and transformative for the collective tourism industry. This especially from a
product (supply) point of view given the renewed attempts to increase tourists
(demand) to destinations, attractions and sites given the prevailing COVID-19 rules
and restrictions imposed throughout both the global North as well as the global South.
While it is difficult to speculate at this stage what precisely the aftermath of COVID-19
will be on the travel industry, at a local, regional, national, continental and international
level, even more than before, governments, private authorities, grassroots
communities as well as non-governmental stakeholders need to reconsider the shape
and form of the tourism product in order to revive this ailing industry. | University of Pretoria | Report | Revolutionising Domestic Tourism | N4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-103 | https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/SeminarDocs/UP_Remodelling%20the%20local%20domesic%20tourism%20market%20in%20SA.pdf?csf=1&e=OQhIOM | | Presentation | | | | | | | | 2022/06/22 06:33:24 | FINAL REPORT REMODELLING THE LOCAL DOMESTIC TOURISM MARKET IN SOUTH AFRICA WITHIN A COVID-19 ENVIRONMENT i TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE Executive summary | 136 | https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx | pdf | False | pdf | | | |
