23282018The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, encompassing 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and 169 targets, was adopted at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015, and will govern the development priorities for the coming 15 years. Goal 8, which calls for the promotion of sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all, specifically targets to devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products. In this instance, tourism is seen as one of the driving forces of global economic growth, and indeed this is so as tourism currently accounts for 1 in 11 jobs worldwide. Goal 12, which calls for ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns, has a target of developing and implementing tools to monitor sustainable development impacts for sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products.University of VendaModel / FrameworkN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-86https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared%20Documents/Sustainability%20of%20rural%20tourism%20products%20in%20SA.pdf?csf=1&e=YdwfVahttps://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/SeminarDocs/Sustainability%20of%20Rural%20Tourism%20Products%20in%20South%20Africa.pptx?csf=1&e=qQcp6IResearch ReportPresentation2021/12/10 13:26:49A Framework to Assess the Sustainability of Rural Tourism Products in South Africa Council for Scientific and Industrial Research This is a shortened version of the research report 196https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf

2307Nolwazi Milliscent Mabaleka2020Coastal and Marine Tourism (CMT) is a sector which continues to draw visitors from different countries to South Africa. This is attributable to the long coastline and abundance of marine wildlife found in South African waters. Despite the strong interest in visiting South Africa’s marine environment, there is limited information on the economic contribution of CMT in South Africa. Shark cage diving offered in Gansbaai, Western Cape, South Africa draws a large number of visitors globally, thereby providing benefits to visiting tourists and socio-economic benefits to the area. This study focuses on determining the profile of visitors who engage in shark cage diving in Gansbaai and expenditure patterns related to shark cage diving in respect of the Gansbaai economy, as well as the role that shark cage diving plays in tourists’ (domestic and international) decisions to visit South Africa.Cape Peninsula University of TechnologyDissertationN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-64https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/SeminarDocs/The%20Contribution%20of%20Shark%20Cage%20Diving%20Tourism%20to%20Coastal%20Economies-%20A%20Case%20Study%20of%20a%20Coastal%20Town%20in%20the%20Western%20Cape,%20South%20Africa.pdf?csf=1&e=DrlXG0Poster Exhibition2020/03/05 07:18:00THE CONTRIBUTION OF SHARK CAGE DIVING TOURISM TO COASTAL ECONOMIES: A CASE STUDY OF A COASTAL TOWN IN THE WESTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the 452https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf
2313Taemane Phoofolo2019Tourism is an important economic sector in many countries worldwide. Many governments are placing a higher priority on tourism development because it leads to increased foreign exchange income and creates employment opportunities. However, the tourism sector is prone to both natural (floods, drought, diseases) and man-made (crime, unemployment, poverty, war, terrorism) disasters, crises and risks which invariably affect not only the tourists but the functionality, sustainability and competitiveness of a destination. The cumulative impact of disasters, crises and risks can result in the death of people, destruction of fauna and flora, displacement and suffering of people. Other effects include, the destruction of human settlements, physical infrastructure such as roads, railway lines and habitats of animals. The prevalence of disasters, crises and the risk can affect tourists’ travelling patterns and destination choices. Thus, rendering some places unsafe and unattractive.University of KwaZulu-NatalThesisN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-932022/02/08 09:54:19TOURISM DISASTERS, CRISES AND THE RISK-FEAR NEXUS TOURISTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF DURBAN AS A TOURISM A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS I would like to thank the 1008https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf
2336Athi Ntwakumba2022Hospitality can be described as the friendly reception and entertainment of guests, visitors or strangers and usually includes food and accommodation. Because of the line of business, it requires employees with various levels of expertise, however, there are challenges in retaining these employees. The challenge of employee retention in the hotel subsector has been reported by multiple studies around the world, which have consistently reported high employee turnover in hotels. Most of these studies report on data obtained in Europe and North America and the literature lacks African data, with limited studies from South Africa. Much of the literature on staff turnover and retention focuses on hotels and not the high turnover observed in restaurants. This identified the need to focus on this gap as the researcher observed staff turnover within the restaurants. Therefore, this study was undertaken to investigate staff turnover in the restaurant sector, specifically within the kitchen department. The specific aim of the study was to assess staff turnover within these restaurant kitchens, to determine the status, causes and impact thereof.Cape Peninsula University of TechnologyDissertationN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-1232022/09/28 16:08:09STAFF TURNOVER WITHIN RESTAURANT KITCHENS IN CAPE TOWN CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree It was found that in both 646https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf
2384Ntshekane Goodness Gumede2018This study investigates the extent to which the rural community of Nonoti Beach participates in coastal tourism taking place in their ancestral land. During the apartheid era, this community was forcibly removed to make way for agriculture and the area was later identified for tourism development. After 1994, the first democratic government of South Africa made it its priority to restore the displaced communities back to their land through land reform and redistribution, and the community under study is one of the communities that received land through the land claims process. Fourteen years after the settlement was made on this land claim in favour of the community, but the government and other stakeholders with vested interest in coastal tourism have not delivered on the promise made to the local community to provide them with low cost housing and to develop a coastal resort that was to benefit this community through profit sharing and in other ways.University of KwaZulu-NatalThesisN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-842019/03/05 12:26:46LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN COASTAL TOURISM: EXPERIENCES FROM NONOTI BEACH IN KWAZULU-NATAL THIS THESIS IS SUBMITTED IN FULFILLMENT OF A DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PhD 359https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf

2455Johannes Hermanus Engelbrecht2022The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of popular media representations, specifically film and television, on narratives of place and tourist destination image. The argument is based on the premise that popular media representations of potential tourist destinations, through wide dissemination and use, construct and sustain specific expectations and perceptions in potential tourists. This may ultimately influence motivational indicators for travel to or deterrents from travel to a specific destination. The dissertation reflects on various aspects in films, at destinations, and inherent to audiences that can have an influence on location filming, film tourism and filmic destination marketing. It further explores certain infrastructural arrangements that make location filming, film tourism and filmic destination possible. These aspects are first examined through international examples, then related to a South African context and finally to specific filmic representations of Johannesburg in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and by Director Neill Blomkamp between 2009 and 2018.University of PretoriaDissertationN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-1052022/07/14 17:40:53THE INFLUENCE OF FILMIC REPRESENTATIONS ON NARRATIVES OF PLACE AND TOURIST DESTINATION IMAGE: JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA Submitted as requirement for the degree 734https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf
2333Sandile Padayachee Mzolo2022The restaurant industry is highly variable and responsive to customer demands and changes. It is a major industry that contributes to economic development and job creation. There is increasing focus on restaurant employees with limited focus on gender aspects which include wage gaps, occupational segregation, advancement opportunities and working conditions that apply to the tourism and hospitality sector more generally. It is in this context that the study undertakes an analysis of restaurant employee profiles and perceptions in South Africa to better understand employee trends and practices from a gender perspective. Employee surveys were conducted at 402 restaurants in selected South African cities (Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg representing cities in South Africa with the largest number of restaurants and Pietermaritzburg and Polokwane representing cities with lower numbers of restaurants) as part of a National Department of Tourism funded study was subjected to a gendered analysis. In total, 1 869 surveys were completed at the 402 purposively selected restaurantsUniversity of KwaZulu-NatalDissertationN4FUYHAX2DSF-245590710-1042022/08/21 18:12:41A GENDER ANALYSIS OF RESTAURANT EMPLOYEE PROFILES AND PERCEPTIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA Submitted in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Master of Science in 305https://tkp.tourism.gov.za/ResearchRepo/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspxpdfFalsepdf
