23442014The planning, development and management of tourism is a cornerstone for the socio-cultural, economic and natural growth of the tourism industry. The major research question in this study is whether there is an adequate legislative framework that addresses issues of planning and development of tourism resources, facilities and activities. What makes some municipalities perform better than others in tourism resource management and development? Are there sufficient planning guidelines that facilitate integrated tourism development approaches? Lastly, what is the role and level of involvement of tourism practitioners and stakeholders in the planning, development and management of tourism resources, facilities and activities. The study is limited to two provinces in South Africa, namely KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, also covering district and local municipalities within these regions. The study comes up with recommendations that are useful to all stakeholders in terms of strategies that would facilitate effective planning, development and management of tourism resources.University of ZululandReportDestination DevelopmentN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-432014/04/01 19:44:10THE PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF TOURISM RESOURCES, FACILITIES & ACTIVITIES IN MUNICIPALITIES IN TWO (2) PROVINCES IN SOUTH AFRICA The Department of Recreation and Tourism 22https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf
24192019A major policy challenge in South Africa is for achieving greater ‘inclusion’ in the tourism industry and especially the provision of opportunities for formerly disadvantaged communities to benefit from sector growth. The National Tourism Sector Strategy calls for a broadening of the economic beneficiaries of tourism development and in particular calls for programmes to attract more black entrepreneurs into the tourism sector and to own and operate tourism SMMEs. One aspect of transformation and for expanding inclusivity in South Africa’s tourism economy is through the promotion of SMME development and especially of new entrepreneurship opportunities for Black-owned SMMEs. This can include both direct involvement of black entrepreneurs in tourism or of encouraging preferential usage of Black owned suppliers and the inclusion of SMMEs within supply chains. Overall the challenge of inclusive tourism requires that greater benefits flow to local (black) communities as well as other groups (especially women and the disabled) that formerly remained largely outside of the mainstream of the country’s tourism economy. This said, a 2018 report issued in 2018 by the Department of Tourism concerning the state of transformation in the South African tourism sector suggested that the pace of change is ‘slow’ and ‘concerning’.University of JohannesburgReportTransformation and Tourism Value ChainN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-14https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/SeminarDocs/Leveraging%20State%20Owned%20Tourism%20Assets%20for%20Black%20SMME%20Development-%20The%20Case%20of%20State%20Owned%20Parks,%20Lodges%20and%20Attractions.pptx?csf=1&e=2HUnS4Presentation2020/06/02 15:08:27Leveraging State-owned tourism assets for black Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises development: a case of state owned parks, lodges and attractions Figure 3: Map of Survey Areas 18https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf

23352022Tourism 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 industryNorth-West UniversityReportTourism Sector Demand and SupplyN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-100https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/SeminarDocs/South%20African%20tourism%20sector%20demand%20and%20supply-towards%20post-COVID-19%20resilience.pdf?csf=1&e=xuzEPHPresentation2022/06/20 10:51:28FINAL REPORT SOUTH AFRICAN TOURISM SECTOR DEMAND AND SUPPLYTOWARDS POST- COVID-19 RESILIENCE ABBREVIATIONS GDP Gross Domestic Product SADC Southern African Development 395https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf

24622016The overall aim of the study was to develop a model to assess provincial competitiveness and apply the model to selected provinces in South Africa. The study was conducted from an emerging domestic market viewpoint, based on selected sub-segments. The study is based on the premise that factors and indicators that are relevant to different regions must be identified, both those that are relevant for any destination, as well as those that are specific to particular destinations. Factors and indicators were identified and validated empirically though focus groups and a sample of emerging tourists in all provinces in the country. Factor analysis was used to create the dimensionality of factors under which the indicators could be grouped, the outcome of which was the so-called Tourism and Travel Market Indicators Index.University of PretoriaReportRevolutionising Domestic TourismN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-25https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/SeminarDocs/Regional%20(Provincial)%20Competitiveness-%20An%20Emerging%20Domestic%20Market%20Segment%20Perspective.ppt?csf=1&e=WTiVgwPresentation2016/11/29 11:03:14REGIONAL (PROVINCIAL) COMPETITIVENESS: AN EMERGING DOMESTIC MARKET SEGMENT PERSPECTIVE AHP is a rigorous technique that enables the integration of multiple judgments for studying 40https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf
25312017This study is about understanding expectations of tourists to the Cradle of Humankind and determining what constitutes a memorable tourist experience. The purpose is to enhance destination development through minimising the gap between tourists’ expectations and experiences. This report must be read in conjunction with the report on the overall sample description which provides the context and background of the study. This report focusses on the methodology and the results followed by a discussion and recommendations.University of PretoriaReportDestination DevelopmentN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-322017/05/11 07:28:38DESTINATION DEVELOPMENT THROUGH UNDERSTANDING TOURISTS’ EXPECTATIONS AND MEMORABLE TOURIST EXPERIENCES AT MAJOR TOURIST ATTRACTIONS The main purpose to visit the attraction is to 32https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf
25292020In South Africa, the contribution of the public sector to economic growth cannot be understated. The contribution can take place through several channels, including via the tourism sector. The chained- tourism activities that result from direct government expenditures are characterised in this report as consisting of the public sector-generated tourism value chain. The chained-tourism activities are triggered when a meeting, conference or event requires government personnel to be away from their usual environment for at least 24 hours. Such absence requires that transport and accommodation, as well as food and beverages, be both organised and paid for. Certain suppliers benefit from the government expenditures incurred by providing transport, accommodation, food and beverages, or other services to the travelling government personnel within the value chain. The amended Tourism B-BBEE Sector Code gazetted by the Department of Trade and Industry in November 2015 seeks to ensure that the economic benefits of the booming tourism sector accrue to previously disadvantaged races as well as to the more traditionally privileged. Using government expenditures on tourism-related activities between 2013/14 and 2017/18, and the suppliers registered with the National Treasury, the study examines the value chain of the tourism sector generated from the public expenditures, and it attempts to determine the type of enterprises that benefit from within the value chain. The findings of the study are earmarked to produce policy recommendations that will aid the promotion of economic transformation that are set to enable the participation of previously disadvantaged races in the tourism value chain, particularly in terms of improving access to the procurement channels involved.University of VendaReportTransformation and Tourism Value ChainN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-7https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/SeminarDocs/An%20Analysis%20of%20the%20Public%20Sector%20Expenditure%20in%20the%20Tourism%20Value%20Chain.pptxPresentation2020/08/12 09:00:54An analysis of the public sector expenditure in the tourism value chain: Identifying socioeconomic opportunities for black-owned enterprises in South Africa 10https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf
