Reasons for a Decline in Domestic Performance Total spend has increased by 4% from R5.0 billion in Q2 of 2012 to R5.2 billion in Q2 in 2013. • Average spend per trip has also increased from R760 in Q2 of 2012 to R930 in Q2 of 2013. • Average length of stay has increased from 3.9 nights in 2012 to 4.0 nights in 2013. • The 21% drop in domestic trips from 7.0 million in Q2 of 2012 to 5.5 million in Q2 of 2013 emanates from the following: • Growing : Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) from 71% to 74% while holiday trips have decreased by 9% • Affordability is still a major challenge due to • unemployment recorded at 25.6% in Q2 of 2013 • Lower consumer spending recorded in Q1 of 2013 was 2.3% - down from 2.4% (Q4 of 2012), 2.7 (Q3 of 2012) and 3.2% (Q2 of 2012). • In addition to this, South Africans do not associate value and meaning to domestic travel experiences and therefore do not invest. • There is need for a culture adjustment in the five market segments, causing consumers to re-prioritise travel. The new campaign addresses this requirement by igniting a spark that culminates in a ‘movement’ that identifies with domestic travel benefits.
Revamped Domestic Campaign • A comprehensive campaign audit was performed on the last three Domestic campaigns. • The new revamped Domestic Tourism campaign extracts all the key learning’s from the previous campaigns. • In reviewing the challenge with the Shot’ Left campaign it was recognized that the shortfall of the target market did not address the large potential of the market. • In the case of the Vaya Mzansi campaign, it was apparent that it evoked national pride amongst South Africans, using magnificent imagery that covered all corners of the country. • Although it was a beautifully produced campaign, the call to action was minimal. • In the revamped Domestic Tourism revamped campaign, the market segmentation has been aligned to the Vaya Mzansi (from LSM 1 to 10) with the inclusion of the “Young at Heart” - who are over 50 plus, with greater disposable income. • This Domestic Tourism campaign also focuses on shifting behaviour to create a culture of travel that has not previously been achieved.
1st Phase - Inter-City and Provincial Rivalry (3 months) • The new Domestic Tourism initiates a spark of engagement, generating ‘healthy banter’ between the cities and provinces by creating a competitive interaction that challenges the rest of South Africa with the statement “Nothings More Fun than a Shot’ Left from ….” • This is a fully integrated, sustainable, unconventional, unexpected, entertaining and delightful campaign. It focuses on improving short-term trips like a weekend away. • Leveraging of the equity built on Shot’Left, the creative device is “Nothing is more Fun than …” The new campaign brings to life the innate benefits of short breaks, road trips with friends or quick get-away trips from the city, a Shot’Left. • The campaign uses travel ambassadors that personify fun. • The look and feel will be colourful, energetic and dynamic. • A 360-degree, through-the-line media campaign will broadcast targeted messaging such as “THERE IS NOTHING MORE FUN THAN A SHOT’ LEFT from JOZI”.
2nd Phase – Post Rivalry • This phase is characterised by a fully integrated campaign on television commercials, radio, digital media and print (e.g. catalogues into newspapers). This will be deal driven campaign with flexibility pricing and offering. Collateral will also be distributed around events such as Fashion Week. • Provincial Alignment - SPARK will promote intra-Provincial travel. • Concurrently to the rivalry phase that is sparked, the Provinces are assisted with ‘templates’ of the marketing collateral to add their own creative statement. SPARK will promote intra-Provincial travel. • Chapters of the campaign will focus on promoting attributes that are unique for each Province. The Provincial campaign will provoke that “Nothing is More Fun than a Shot’Left in Limpopo” (for example). • A road trip is being used to showcase various modes of transportation across the country (bus, train, taxi, etc). • Alignment of strategies to this campaign e.g. aligning the Gauteng Tourism Authority’s GP to the JOZI’s campaign. • Most Province and Cities are already having strategy around trade partners – but alignment will add impetus to the campaign • Use of DJs with a regional appeal was suggested.

Highlights of SA Tourism’s Financial Performance for the 6 Months that ended on 30 September 2013 • SA TOURISM ON TRACK TO SPEND ITS FULL 2013/14 BUDGET • During the first 6 months of the 2013/14 financial year, SA Tourism spent R 604.7 million which represents: • 89% of its year-to-date expense budget of R 682.6 million (this means that SAT was R 77.9 million behind on its year-to-date budget as at 30 September 2013); • 62% of its total 2013/14 operational budget of R 968.6 million.
Highlights of SA Tourism’s Financial Performance (cont.) • EXPENDITURE BY COUNTRY OFFICES AND BUSINESS UNITS • Nine of South African Tourism Country offices spent 90% or more of their year-to-date budgets, two Country offices were slightly below budget (Amsterdam & Nigeria) and three Country offices were significantly below budget (Brazil, Angola & Kenya). • Of South African Tourism’s seventeen Business Units, twelve spent 90% or more of their 2013/14 year-to-date budgets, three were slightly behind on their budgets (Africa Portfolio, TGCSA & Watch-list Business Unit) and two Business units were significantly below budget (National Conventions Bureau & HR). • Relevant actions have been taken by management to address the under-expenditure within these Country offices and Business Units.
Highlights of SA Tourism’s Financial Performance (cont.) • CAPITAL EXPENDITURE • During the first 6 months of the 2013/14 financial year, SA Tourism only managed to spend R 1 279 916 or 7% of its total 2013/14 CAPEX budget of R 18, 7 million. The main reasons for this were the fact that: • three planned overseas offices have not been opened yet (Angola, Brazil and Nigeria) while the 4th new office (in Kenya) is only planned for the end of the 2013/14 financial year • approval for phase 1 of the planned Head Office extension have not been received from the relevant local authority yet.
