2 million tourists in SA between January - march 2005
Record: 10,3% more tourists to South Africa
Tourism has continued to prove that it is the new engine of South Africa's economy by posting a record 1,795,989 foreign arrivals between January and March 2005. This is an increase of a significant 10,3% on the same period last year.

Chief executive officer of South African Tourism, Mr. Moeketsi Mosola said that the 1,7m tourist arrivals marks the highest number of first quarter arrivals ever recorded in the history of the country's tourist statistics.

"We are equally encouraged by the fact that for the third consecutive year the industry has enjoyed strong growth, averaging 4,9%," he said. Mosola highlighted that the first quarter of 2005 also saw an increase in Total Foreign Direct Spend (TFDS) by tourists, which increased by 25,2% from R10,3 billion in the first quarter of 2004 to R12,9 billion during the same period in 2005.

The increase was driven largely by expenditure by tourists from Africa and Europe which increased by 22% and 36% respectively.
