Figures released by Statistics SA show tourism is rocketing, with the number of arrivals from January to May a whopping 480% up on last year’s figures over the same period.This is off the back of a 61.6% year-on-year increase in tourist accommodation income in May 2022.

“Chaos in airports across some of our key source markets is not making international travel easy, but long-haul visitors are determined to make the journey. According to hospitality benchmarking firm STR, the upward May trajectory we have seen in the accommodation space increased in June, but we are still under 50% occupancies nationally.

“The opportunity exists for the Western Cape to increase its occupancies; perhaps by providing an even more compelling offer for swallows and remote workers,” Anderson said.
