11 High Income Middle Income High MI Middle-High Income Low Income VFR N o M I New Domestic Segmentation 2011 Using the information from the surveys conducted, five action variables were identified. These are: race, purpose of travel, age, income and family situation. LSM has been replaced by income. Using these five variables, the available market was grouped into 14 segments based on travel behaviour and preferences. NTSS targets were used to identify the most important segments on which to focus activation efforts. From the NTSS three metrics were identified in order to assist in creating the most appropriate segments for activation. These were growth (volume), cultural transformation (change of travel habits and activities) and ability to win metrics. Using these as metrics, the 14 segments were reduced to 5, circled in the diagram: All Ages Black, Coloured/Indian Black, Coloured/Indian White W All Races 25- Black White, Coloured/Indian Seasoned Leisure Seekers Spontaneous Budget Explorers High-Life Enthusiasts Low Income Singles & Couples K id Holiday Older High Income s Others Business Travellers New Horizon Families Low Income Black Singles Others K id Established Holiday Families Low Income Families Holiday Well-to-do Mzanzi Families s VFR Black Single Parent Families Up and Coming Black Singles Older Middle Income Whites 10

12 Through the segmentation of markets, a number of global segments have emerged across countries, of people who are positive and keen to visit South Africa. The diagram below depicts the latest segmentation: Wanderlusters NSSAs Family Travellers Wanderlusters (USA) Upscale Wanderlusters (USA) Wanderlusters (UK) Upscale Wanderlusters (UK) Wanderlusters (De) Wanderlusters (Fr) Wanderlusters (In) Wanderlusters (Ne) Emerging Wanderlusters (Aust.)

The major differentiator between these two segments is age. The Wanderluster is a more youthful segment, whereas the NSSAs are more mature. However, they both know and are positive about South Africa and have a desire to travel here. They travel abroad regularly, however, they have several destination choices. The challenge is to switch them from other destinations to South Africa Statistics of Our Tourism Sector
