15 Situational Analysis Slide no. 14

16 Slide no. 15 © South African Tourism 2015 Global Tourism Performance in 2014 2014 saw Travel & Tourism GDP (direct) performing better in the modest global economy growing from 3.4% in 2013 to 3.5% in 2014. This was against the global GDP of 2.4% from the 2.3% in 2013. The economic performance of travel & tourism was weaker than expected due to a few factors: Ukraine-Russia conflict, Ebola in West Africa, political instability in Thailand and the increase in instability in Syria and Libya. Despite the growth in spending, it was weaker than expected in line with the macroeconomic performance. The exchange rates were volatile and the US dollar appreciated against major currencies. Global tourism expenditure reached an estimated US$ 1.197 billion in 2014, which is a 3.4% growth. Note: 1 A valid comparison with global tourism arrivals cannot be made. Global performance is on tourist arrivals and SA performance cited here is on foreign arrivals. 2 The markets listed are only those that are within the 5 th portfolio.

It is estimated that international tourist arrivals will reach 1.6 billion by 2020 – at an annual growth rate of between 4% and 4.5%. The growth was mainly driven by developed markets where arrivals grew by 5.6% compared to 3.6% growth from emerging markets. Strongest growth was recorded in the Americas (+7%) followed by Asia and the Pacific (+5%), Europe (+4%), Middle East (+4%) and Africa (+2%).

62 Slide no. 61 © South African Tourism 2015 Key Highlights The Amsterdam residential property was correctly converted to an Investment Property as at 31 March 2015. After 25 years SA Tourism finally terminated the lease contract in London resulting in significant savings. Leased assets’ net book value as at 31 March 2015 declined from R 9.2 million to R 741 000 in the current year. Allowances for bad debts decrease due to the change of the “legal debtor system”. Page 94 – 135 of the Annual Report

63 Slide no. 62 © South African Tourism 2015 Key Highlights Provisions declined mainly due to the reversal of unused provisions relating to labour dispute cases which have now been assessed as contingent by SA Tourism’s legal department. Income received in advance decreased by more than R 20 million as a result once-off additional allocation by NDT which was received in the previous year. Accumulated Surplus increased due to surplus realised in 2014/15 and amounts recognised directly in equity e.g. reversal of unused provisions. Page 94 – 135 of the Annual Report

64 Slide no. 63 © South African Tourism 2015 Impact On Bottom Line The format of the Statement of Financial Performance was changed, in line with the Generally Recognised Accounting Practice 1 requirement i.e. user usefulness, to separately show material non-cash item after Operating Surplus or deficit. SA Tourism shows operating deficit/ surplus before Gain on foreign exchange AND Fair value adjustment of Investment Property i.e. ( non-operating activities which have a material impact on the bottom line.)

66 Conclusion Slide no. 65

67 Slide no. 66 © South African Tourism 2015 Conclusion The sluggish South African economic growth is still impacting on South Africa, increasing job losses in various industries. The tourism sector is still recovering from the effects of the Immigration Regulations. Global security and health concerns remain topical and continue to influence travellers in their decision-making.

68 Slide no. 67 © South African Tourism 2015 Conclusion Whilst SA Tourism did not meet all set targets we achieved growth in foreign arrivals and revenue. Domestic travellers remained flat compared to the previous year. The organisation is embarking on strategies to improve on areas where we did not achieve our targets. In 2015/16, SA Tourism will continue to intensify its engagement with trade as part of the implementation of the domestic tourism campaign.

69 Slide no. 68 © South African Tourism 2015 Conclusion We have developed a comprehensive Stakeholder Management Plan to improve collaboration and strengthen relationships with strategic stakeholders, trade, media and government. SA Tourism and the Board are already hard at work implementing recommendations of the Ministerial Review Panel on SA Tourism. Thank you to the SA Tourism staff, Board, NDT, the Ministry and the Portfolio and Select Committees for their support.
