profits back and make their tourism business more competitive and
thus more sustainable in the long term.
A strong rand will generate more profit locally to encourage
aggressive marketing locally and globally for sustainability of the
tourism sector.
The strong rand sets the multiplier effect into motion thereby
expanding business opportunities for sustainability of the tourism
sector.
A strong rand creates opportunities for domestic travel. Fewer
international tourists visiting South Africa; however, tourism
becomes more sustainable through domestic income / prevents
leakages.
A balance between economic and environmental benefits for the
tourism industry.
A strong rand means that tourism businesses will generate more
profits and they need to use these profits to make their businesses
more environmentally friendly.
The discerning tourist will support tourism businesses that are
eco-friendly.
Although initial costs may be high, environmentally friendly
measures will ultimately lower operational costs.
A strong rand will result in less tourist coming to South Africa.
This decrease in tourism will mean less air-pollution by aircraft
and less land and sea pollution. It will lead to a more sustainable
environment to live in (reduces impact of mass tourism).
Job creation
A strong rand means South Africans have more disposable
income to spend on tourism products setting the multiplier effect in
motion creating more jobs.

opportunities. (3 x 2) (6)
