Tourism
Tourism is seen as a growth sector for many economies. South Africa has become an increasingly popular tourist destination and since tourism is a labour intensive industry it has resulted in the creation of a substantial number of jobs. StratEcon’s involvement in the tourism sector is not just confined to assessing the macroeconomic impact of tourism but also to developing and aligning strategies for specific programmes within the broader tourism industry. These strategies are based on an assessment of the strengths and characteristics of different tourism markets and offerings.
