SA Sporting Opportunities Would Be A Great Tourism And Economy Boost
Saint Petersburg in Russia was host to the opening game of the FIFA World Cup 2018 in its 68,000-capacity Krestovsky Stadium, and as a result got to play host to thousands of fans (and the teams themselves) who have travelled from across the globe for the soccer extravaganza. This gets me thinking, how can hospitality players around the world, and, more specifically, in Cape Town and South Africa, do more to tap into this enthusiasm?

Ensuring the sustainability of sustainable tourism | By Danny Bryer – Hospitality Net
Sustainable tourism, the UNWTO theme for 2017, marked a point in history for the tourism sector. Some businesses grappled with the concept for the first time, while others have constructed an entire business ecosystem on its principles. Too often, however, sustainability is viewed as just one silo of business development, while the truth is that, in isolation, any measures geared towards sustainability are doomed.

OPINION: Tourism’s time in the spotlight at Africa’s Travel Indaba 2018
This indaba is an important one for Africa's growing tourism sector. Investor confidence is at an all-time high across the continent, but Africa faces obstacles that are specific to the region too. The Indaba is a tourism trade B2B affair, but tourism in the African context is closely linked to infrastructural development within the individual countries that make up the continent.

Cape’s money-spinning cycling events could add more than R1bn to SA’s economy
Tourism, the economic powerhouse of SA, has been hit. In the Western Cape in particular, a R40bn industry has been hamstrung by water shortages. There are 300,000 jobs in the balance, and a recovery plan is needed to ensure that retrenchments are avoided and that the sector can resume the growth it had been enjoying until recently. One mechanism for this recovery is through large events.
UCI Mountain Bike World Cup series will boost Cape’s tourism coffers

Bricks vs. straw – building a sustainable future | By Danny Bryer – Hospitality Net
The three little pigs taught us valuable lessons in building properties that endure. When attacked by little more than wolf breath, the straw and wooden houses fell – the house built from bricks survived. In tourism and hospitality, with the wolves of a wavering economy, water shortages and other challenges circling, it's imperative to focus on driving sustainability as a governing rule to ensure that we're building an impenetrable foundation.
Tech trends set to dominate hospitality in 2018
Destinations often focus on where travellers are choosing to go, since places can become trendy – one year it may be Bali, the next, Dubai. These kinds of consumer trends have featured heavily on lists for many years. Increasingly, however, it's not where travellers are going, but how they're being reached by marketers, how they're researching and how they book.
How tech influences people to travel | IOL Travel
The first incentive to travel could be a glimpse of a destination on TV or on a social media channel. In fact, social media posts on Instagram have probably done more to prompt travel that we’re prepared to admit. Instagram was launched in 2010, and yet it has now become the home of choice for travellers, travel bloggers and anyone who likes great pictures.

The end of the year comes as a blessing and a curse; for those of us who have been labouring all year, it's the time when we need to recharge and gather our thoughts for the next professional chapter.

Fortunately, there are some shortcuts that ensure you can take a vacation and still survive "Januworry".
Luxury tourism surprisingly buoyant in South Africa | African Independent
There's an element of tunnel vision that can come with maintaining a fairly ordinary existence. It’s difficult to place yourself in someone else’s position, especially when that someone is, by all accounts, incredibly wealthy. While many of us scrimp and save to enjoy a well-earned holiday, for others, luxury travel is part of their lifestyle. The benefit of this to us as locals in South Africa is that this form of niche tourism contributes to sustainability in the tourism and hospitality sector.

Social media: the real travel influencer | IOL
Social media is inspiring, that’s for certain, but it’s also actively influencing decision making in travel, according to the latest research. 50 percent of people surveyed said that they pick their holiday destination based on other peoples’ photos, and a further 45 percent look to Instagram for inspiration when it comes to places to photograph and visit. The challenge to travel marketers is in harnessing these powerful tools so that they are of benefit.
Harnessing the longevity of “cool”
Explaining a joke kills the punchline, and analysing what's cool can become a clinical exercise – a dissection that removes the element of cool before the body is even cold. There's a fly-by-night fad, a trend soon forgotten, and then there's perennial cool, the marketing gift that keeps on giving. Being named the Coolest Hotel Group in SA for seven years in a row, we've learned how staying ahead of your customers' needs and wants helps to position your brand.

Business can counteract the flagging South African economy
Much of the news about the South African economy in recent months suggests that we are facing times tough ahead. With the International Monetary Fund's July 2016 projection for growth in the economy of just 0.1 % in 2016 and ongoing fears about a ratings agency downgrade to junk status, the general view is that investor confidence is low, money is tight and business is slow. Compounding issues are the worrying employment figures.
