Tourism, Food, and Wine news headlines
* SA Tourism has announced that from the 2015/2016 financial year it will read arrivals to our country as ‘Tourist Arrivals’ only, and not as all ‘foreign arrivals’. In the past arrival statistics have been criticised for being inflated and inaccurate. This means that the new tourism arrival figures will be lower than those read currently.
