The document discusses the role and potential of tourism in South Africa's economy. It notes that while tourism contributed only 2% to GDP in 1994, there was potential to triple its contribution by 2000. Domestic tourism plays an important role. The document outlines barriers that have prevented South Africa from realizing tourism's full potential, such as inadequate funding, limited community involvement, and lack of infrastructure. It proposes developing tourism in a sustainable and responsible way to benefit communities and the environment. The vision is for tourism to significantly improve South Africans' quality of life through job creation and economic growth while practicing good environmental stewardship.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

India Orthopedic Devices Market: Unlocking Growth Secrets, Trends and Develop...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, “India Orthopedic Devices Market -Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030”, the India Orthopedic Devices Market stood at USD 1,280.54 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.84% in the forecast period, 2026-2030F. The India Orthopedic Devices Market is being driven by several factors. The most prominent ones include an increase in the elderly population, who are more prone to orthopedic conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Moreover, the rise in sports injuries and road accidents are also contributing to the demand for orthopedic devices. Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.

White paper & barriers to growth
1.
2. THE ROLE OF TOURISM IN SOUTH AFRICA
• 1996: tourism plays a small role in the economy
• Less than 2% (1994) to the GDP in 1994 but 4th largest earner of foreign exchange in
SA
• 1995: 4% to the GDP
• 1995: WTTC – tourism = 10.9% to world GDP
• “The potential for South Africa to grow its tourism industry, to triple its contribution to
national income and to at least double its foreign exchange earnings by the year
2000, is very real. If contributed 10% to the GDP of South Africa, as it does in the
US, the industry would generate some R40b annually and create 2 million jobs.”
• “Domestic tourism plays a specially important role in the South African tourism
industry. This market will continue to grow as previously neglected people become
tourists and travelers themselves.”
• NTSS: “The 2010 Tourism Satellite Account (TSA), which measures the tourism
sector’s direct contribution to the country’s economy, estimates this contribution at
about R67 billion, or 3% of South Africa’s gross domestic product (GDP). It further
estimates that about in 2008, a total of 599 412 people (or approximately 4,4% of
total employment) are directly employed by the tourism industry, and that domestic
tourism contributes 52%of total tourism consumption.”
3. THE PROBLEMATIQUE
• “MISSED OPPORTUNITY”
• Stems from political history
• Missed potential: “potential to spawn entrepreneurship, to create new services (e.g. local
entertainment, handicrafts, etc.), to "drive" other sectors of the economy, to strengthen rural
communities, to generate foreign exchange and to create employment, has not been
realised.”
• Key Constraints
• tourism has been inadequately resourced and funded
• myopic private sector (short-sighted)
• limited integration of local communities and previously neglected groups into tourism
• inadequate tourism education, training and awareness
• inadequate protection of the environment
• poor service
• lack of infrastructure, particularly in rural areas
• a ground transportation sector not geared to service tourists
• lack of inclusive, effective national, provincial and local structures for the development,
management and promotion of the tourism sector
• levels of crime and violence on visitors
4. TOWARDS A NEW TOURISM

11. IGNITING THE ENGINE OF TOURISM GROWTH
• Policies and actions to be developed and actioned:
• Safety and security
• Education and training
• Financing tourism and access to finance
• Investment incentives vs. Foreign investment
• Environmental management
• Product development
• Cultural resource management
• Transportation - air and ground
• Infrastructure
• Marketing and promotion
• Product quality and standards
• Regional cooperation
• Youth development
12. KEY PLAYERS
• National government
• Provincial government
• Local government
• Private sector
• Labour (tourism employees)
• Communities
• Women
• NGOs
• Media
• Conservation Agencies
13. BARRIERS TO GROWTH - VOLUME AND SPEND
• Further growth in volume needed → meaningful
contribution to employment and the GDP
• Cannot rely on the minority wealthy travellers or very
niche markets → need to diversify into a number of
markets to create more volume
• moving into ‘lower level’ tourist markets → more
affordable
• Employment potential: 1998-2002: SA needed 12
international arrivals to create one tourism job
• 2004: core markets for SA → Kenya, Nigeria, the USA,
the UK, Australia, France, Germany, the Netherlands,
and the domestic market
14. BARRIERS TO GROWTH - LENGTH OF STAY
• Gokovali et al (2007): “the longer the tourists choose to
stay, the more likely they are to become aware of
facilities and services at the location where they are
staying and also at neighbourhood locations. This will
widen the size of the multiplier effect of tourism
revenues at the destination”
• However, trends point towards more frequent, shorter
holidays
• Encourage a longer stay goes hand-in-hand with making
the destination affordable and creating value
• Need to understand the target market(s)
15. BARRIERS TO GROWTH - GEOGRAPHIC SPREAD AND
DISTRIBUTION
• Gauteng, Western Cape, and KwaZulu Natal are by far
the leaders in terms of arrivals
• Gauteng + W. Cape = 59.8% of tourist expenditure but
KZN = highest domestic arrivals
• 2006: average number of provinces visited per trip = 1.3
→ very low
• Air arrivals tend to visit more provinces → why?
• Tourism needs to be developed beyond traditional
tourism routes and nodes → investment into product
development and diversification
16. BARRIERS TO GROWTH - SEASONALITY
• Temporal nature of travel patterns → very
difficult for businesses to survive in low seasons
• What is the tourism seasonal pattern in SA?
• Problem of job sustainability
• Investment also becomes tricky and relatively
scarce
• Some solutions: pricing/discounts, targeting new
markets, and the use of key events
17. BARRIERS TO GROWTH - TRANSFORMATION
• Addresses opportunities that were previously not
available to some
• Key to unlocking new opportunities for growth
• Tourism offerings should be representative of all
populations
• Tourism BEE Charter and Scorecard → sets out industry
specific indicators and guides the movement towards
Black Economic Empowerment in tourism
• Monitored by TECSA (Tourism Empowerment Council of
South Africa)
18. BARRIERS TO GROWTH - EMPLOYMENT AND SKILLS
DEVELOPMENT
• Tourism is labour intensive as opposed to other
industries
• Major concern: locals don’t ideally have access
to opportunities within the sector → use of
preferential procurement
• Major skills gap!
• Huge issue of service quality → what are the
implications of poor service?
