15 Key Elements of the Communication Message South Africa should be highlighted as a destination that has a diversity of offerings beyond shopping and services, with both luxury and value for money activities that suit varied audiences Purpose of Travel Experience Sought Objectives Most Mozambicans come to South Africa for multi-purpose visits driven by personal need Increase frequency of travel and length of stay by incorporating leisure components into trips driven by personal need Increase spend on leisure activities on all trips to South Africa Cosmopolitan experiences, shopping options and culture are the desired activities across all consumer groups Increase volume by diversifying the South African destinations known or travelled to Diversify mental associations with South Africa through increased awareness of products and activities in South Africa Key Elements to be Communicated South Africa has a diverse set of leisure offerings that can be enjoyed by visitors, in addition to its amenities and facilities There are various tourist activities within driving distance along the well travelled routes that Mozambicans are accustomed to Travellers can easily add leisure activities onto a trip whose primary purpose is not leisure There are a wide variety of value for money experiences that can be customised to any budget and taste Key activities include: visiting World Class cosmopolitan experiences and rich cultural experiences South Africa has offerings suited to families as well as singles / groups of friends Slide no. 15 South African Tourism 2012 Source: Monitor and Grail Research and Analysis

16 Awareness Even though most Mozambicans are aware of South Africa, different media can be applied to help them become more aware of specific offerings in South Africa in order to increase leisure participation Word of Mouth Mass Media Social Media Word of mouth is wide spread in Mozambique and can be leveraged It can be used to increase the effect of other awareness media However, it is passive and difficult to control Television: Has a high recall compared to other media but is high cost and would have to be used for targeted messaging preferably in Portuguese Radio: Relatively low cost and higher penetration but is limited by the lack of visuals and distracted viewership which results in low recall rates Newspaper and Magazines: Travel magazines have the greatest potential since they were vividly recalled by interviewees and there is the opportunity for diversified distribution Outdoor: Has low recall and is difficult to use to reach particular consumer groups and its effectiveness is difficult to measure Brochures: Can be effective if placement is considered carefully and if a means to purchase is made accessible Social media has great potential in Mozambique as the number of users is beginning to grow As more Mozambicans use the internet and social media, they can be more easily targeted Even though Mozambicans know of South Africa, mass media, particularly television, radio, travel magazines and brochures will be useful in informing them of South Africa s offerings beyond the ones they know All forms of communication should leverage word of mouth to dissipate information to a greater number of people Slide no. 16 South African Tourism 2012 Source: Monitor and Grail Research and Analysis

17 Information Gathering Even though most Mozambicans are aware of South Africa, different media can be applied to help them become more aware of specific offerings in South Africa in order to increase leisure participation Word of Mouth Travel Agents Internet Mobile Phones Word of mouth is wide spread in Mozambique and can be leveraged to increase the effect of other awareness media However, it is passive and difficult to control Travel agencies are not typically used by Mozambicans travelling to South Africa and are mostly used by business travellers There would be significant channel development and awareness building necessary if this channel were to be relied on for Mozambique Internet penetration is still low, though growing, in Mozambique There is a lot of mistrust of information found online among Mozambicans but it is the primary information gathering channel used by most holiday travellers Mozambicans rely on SMS for a lot of their communication and there is opportunity for use of mobile phones for internet access as both major service providers offer 3G connectivity Mobiles have reach and can be used to access consumers in the long run A combination of channels can be used to both steer Mozambicans towards the types of information they should be seeking for South Africa, while providing them access to reliable information about activities and offerings Slide no. 17 South African Tourism 2012 Source: Monitor and Grail Research and Analysis

20 Opportunity After Booking Once people have decided to travel, there is a good opportunity to use service providers to increase awareness of leisure activities in and around the intended destination Encouraging Leisure through Information Airlines Once tickets have been purchased, share information about potential activities in the destination they will be visiting in order to increase leisure participation Offer simple add-on activities to business travellers Highlight family-friendly activities for group travellers Give information on connecting flights and fares to increase awareness of affordability and accessibility of destinations beyond their current Coach Booking Agents Add coupons and brochures to leaflets that hold bus tickets in order to increase leisure participation by highlighting affordable options Hotels and Other Accommodation Once bookings have been made, share information about upcoming events in the area and activities that can be done around the vicinity of the hotel Also share information about how to get tickets and gain access to events and sights I don t have information about fun activities to do in most parts of South Africa.
