Organisational Structure Slide no. 9 Page 16: Strategic Plan

Overview: Global Tourism Performance in 2016 Among the top five source markets, China (the world’s top source market) continues to drive demand, reporting double-digit growth in spending ( 19%). Robust results from the United States ( 9%), benefited many destinations in the Americas and beyond. Germany reported a 5% increase in expenditure, the United Kingdom, a 10% increase, and France, 3% growth. Tourism spending grew notably in Australia and the Republic of Korea (both 9%), and moderately in Italy ( 3%). By contrast, expenditure from the Russian Federation declined 37% and from Canada a slight 2%. Eight other markets reported double-digit growth: Egypt ( 38%), Argentina ( 27%), Spain ( 19%), India ( 16%), Thailand ( 15%), Ukraine ( 15%), Ireland ( 12%) and Norway ( 11%). Slide no. 10 Preliminary unaudited results

Overview: South African Tourism Performance in 2016 Foreign arrivals accounted for 10 million of total tourism trips and increased by 12.8% compared to 2015. Africa is our biggest source region followed by Europe and North America. The fastest growing regions were Central & South America (34.3%), Middle East (34.1%) and Asia (30.3%). All the regions have grown to new record highs, the only exception being Australasia which is slightly behind 2014. The main driver of the double digit increase in foreign trips was tourists visiting for leisure. MICE tourists remained relatively stable while business shopping saw a decline (-10.6%) and business travellers (corporate travel) saw 63.2% growth (small base) Slide no. 11 Preliminary unaudited results

Tourist Arrivals to South Africa in 2016 Slide no. 12 Preliminary unaudited results

Overview: Domestic Tourism Domestic tourism accounted for 24.3 million of the tourism trips, a decrease of -0.7% compared to the 24.5 million trips taken in 2015. The decrease in total trips was largely driven by a decrease in trips taken for the purpose of visiting friends and relatives and for holiday while business grew by 22%. The increase in average length of stay to 4.3 nights led to the domestic bednights growing despite the fewer tourist trips in this year. As in previous years, affordability remained the main deterrent to taking a trip. Domestic tourist’s revenue increased by 12% to record R26.5 billion in 2016 compared to R23.6 billion in 2015. The domestic tourist who took a trip in this period spent more per trip and per day than last year, growth of 13% and 11% respectively. Slide no. 13 Preliminary unaudited results

Overview: Business Events The South African business events industry has been growing steadily over the last 10 years, contributing towards the country’s tourist arrivals. This growth comes from industrial sectors where South Africa is a thought leader and/or shows potential for growth. South Africa was ranked 38th globally in 2015 and was listed in the top 15 long-haul business events destinations, cementing the country’s status as the number one ranked business events destination in Africa and the Middle East. Networking opportunities afford local delegates with new business and research collaborations, which can generate innovation, ideas and research agendas for many years to come. Globally, safety remains an important consideration, and economic and political instability is also a key concern. For incentive travel millennials and younger employees often seek exotic and cultural adventures. They are also motivated by doing good. Slide no. 14 Page 14-15: Strategic Plan

Overview: Tourism Grading Despite the growing trends such as Airbnb and Uber as well as the influence of online platforms such as TripAdvisor, quality assurance remains important to determine the standard of service level, certainty and reliability. Recent market insights and trends show an increase in online usergenerated consumer reviews. These put pressure on product owners to ensure service excellence and high-quality tourism offerings. A number of surveys show that graded establishments experience improved perceptions of value from customers, based on their participation in grading systems. The number of graded accommodation and rooms in South Africa is just over 5 000 and 114 000 respectively, 85% being non-hotel establishments and 15% being large hotel chains and facilities for meetings, exhibitions and special events. The large hotel groups and conference facilities account for 50% and the remainder by SMMEs. Slide no. 15 Page 15-16: Strategic Plan

Organisational Environment Slide no. 17 Page 17: Strategic Plan

Funding South African Tourism receives approximately 90% of its annual budget from government grants and subsidies, and 10% from the private sector – via the TOMSA levy allocated through the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA). South African Tourism delivers its mandate through collaborative funding and joint marketing investment, harnessed from private and public sector partners. Slide no. 18 Page 17: Strategic Plan

Organisational Efficiency and Governance South African Tourism recently embarked on a review of its performance and the prevailing operating environment, in a bid to enhance its growth strategy. The review included interviews with key stakeholders from government and the tourism industry. The extensive canvassing process resulted in a number of principles being identified for South African Tourism to implement internally to enable the organisation to improve its efficiencies and have an optimal impact on the industry: Mapping and streamlining business processes and systems to improve operational efficiency; - Reviewing policies to improve agility and operational efficiency; and Reviewing and designing an organisational structure to support South African Tourism’s new five-year strategy. Slide no. 19 Page 17-18: Strategic Plan

Strategic Planning Process South African Tourism revised its Tourism Growth Strategy (2002) in order to achieve five million additional tourists in five years (4 million international tourist arrivals and 1 million domestic holiday trips). The enhanced strategy for growth is an update to the 2002 Tourism Growth Strategy (TGS), which mapped out source markets that will deliver international tourist arrivals and domestic tourist as well as the strategy to achieve the set goals. The Marketing Investment Framework (MIF) has been concluded in consultation with the stakeholders and will guide where South African Tourism should invest its marketing budget for optimal return on investment (in terms of tourist numbers and tourist spend) for the next five years. Slide no. 20 Page 18-19: Strategic Plan

Thrust 1: Optimising Marketing Investments SA Tourism has developed a Marketing Investment Framework (MIF) to inform its investment choices for the next five years. The framework took into account the macroeconomic situation in South Africa, the depreciating rand and the fact that SA Tourism marketing spend in overseas markets is in foreign currency. A number of markets have been identified to deliver optimal return on investment. This list of markets has been prioritised based on the attractiveness of each market and South Africa’s “ability to win” in each market. As SA Tourism has limited resources, it has prioritised its markets using a tiered approach: the SA Tier one: core markets; Tier two: strategic markets; and Tier three: the rest of the world (services through partnership with Missions) Slide no. 25 Strategic Plan: pages 21-22
