The employment effects of international tourism in South Africa

Tourism as an industry has taken on a key role in the South African economy over the past ten years. With an average growth rate of 8% between 1994 and 2000, much hope is placed in the industry to help reach economic growth goals and boost employment, especially in the previously disadvantaged groups of the population. Nonetheless, no detailed study on the employment effects of tourism to South Africa has been published. This thesis aims to calculate in detail not only how much employment tourism is creating in the economy but what kind of employment and which sectors.
