BETWEEN January and June this year, South Africans made 12.7 million domestic trips which is an increase of 23% when compared to last year. They spent R15.3 billion compared to last year’s spend of R9.1 billion in the same period. About 25% of this expenditure was on holiday trips, which accounted for 10% of the total number of trips.
“A lot of work has gone into encouraging South Africans to get to know and travel their own country. These figures show that they heeded the call. This is significant because the more we know our own country, the better hosts we can be to visitors from other countries,” concludes Chief Executive Officer of South African Tourism, Sisa Ntshona.
