South Africa is finally gaining momentum after several years of sluggish tourism performance. The following article discusses how this newfound drive is affecting the country's tourism industry.
South Africa's tourism industry is showing signs of a return to "business as usual", or slightly better than usual, following a couple of very tough years, judging by the latest Tourism Business Index from the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA) and FNB.
According to consultancy Grant Thornton, who compile the index, the results for the last quarter of 2012 "confirm a return to normal trading levels and an overall positive outlook for the travel and tourism sector in 2013".
The index came in at 104.6 for the fourth quarter, up on 101.1 in the third quarter - a huge improvement on the 87.3 scored in the fourth quarter of 2011. The forecast for the first quarter of 2013 is 102.4. A score of 100 is considered normal.
Speaking at the release of the index in Johannesburg last week, TBCSA board chairman Mavuso Msimang said performance levels above the norm for two quarters running was "a clear indication of the extent to which business is recovering from the recessionary impacts and excess of supply it suffered post the 2010 Soccer World Cup".
The sector's resilience and ongoing long-term potential shows through in the business and investor confidence for capacity and employment increases, according to Grant Thornton.
However, in spite of the return to regular trading levels and the positive outlook, a number of factors remain a concern.
"Global economic uncertainty and ongoing recession risk, coupled with the negative profiling of South Africa internationally through labour and community unrest, weighs heavily as a constraint for the sector," said Gillian Saunders, Grant Thornton's head of advisory services.
"Input cost increases from rates, electricity and fuel costs were also cited as negative factors affecting business performance," she added.
Wiza Nyondo, FNB's head of tourism, said the results showde that "the market has begun to recognise South Africa as a sought after destination.
"Although we've seen some instability, we still believe in South Africa's diverse offering of services and products where industry professionals can partner to help transform our country," Nyondo said.
According to the survey, the majority of accommodation sector respondents expect domestic business markets to offer the best potential growth for 2013, followed by foreign leisure and then domestic leisure.
Other tourism businesses expect growth to come from foreign leisure markets, followed by domestic markets.

Egypt: More than pyramids
Ask people what they’ll first think when they hear the word Egypt, and they’ll probably say the pyramids. But Egypt, with its 5,000-year-old civilization, is more than just the famed Great Pyramids, however majestic they may be.

Visiting Egypt is an exciting experience like no other. And if the colossal monuments fail to take tourists’ breath away, the 5,000 years' worth of storytelling via extensive historical collections in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities will not. The museum, most commonly known as the Museum of Cairo or, simply, the Egyptian Museum, is home to 120,000 ancient Egyptian antiquities, including the death mask of King Tutankhamun, made of solid gold, and the mummified remains of many pharaohs.

From ancient cities and temples to colorful markets and luxury hotels, Egypt has much to offer to the modern tourist—one only has to look harder; however, with highly reviewed tour operators, like Palace Travel and Select Egypt, offering a full range of the magical Egypt experience, exploring Egypt has become a far better and more convenient experience than what?.
No other African tour operator has received more glowing reviews than Palace Travel. Visit this website for more information on tour packages it offers.

REPOST: Top 5 Dive Destinations
Are you a diving fanatic? Then read this article by Adam Roy featuring the top five diving destinations around the world.
There are many great reasons to scuba dive, but the one that most captures people's imagination is marine wildlife. Red Sea Beach RestaurantFrom schools of tropical fish to sharks, tropical seas house an impressive chunk of Earth's life that most people only ever see on the Discovery channel. Still, as a diver, I firmly believe that swimming with a school of fish or sharing a manta ray's habitat for a few minutes is about more than recreation.
Seeing the ocean animals in their natural habitat makes them seem more real and worth protecting than any TV program could. At each of these five incredible destinations, divers can get up close and interact with some of the planet's most powerful and beautiful animals. The action is just below the surface at many of these sites, so even novice divers can participate.
1. Palau.
There are a whole host of good reasons to dive in Palau, a tiny island nation in the south Pacific. The islands have been famous as a wreck diving site since 1969, when Jacques Cousteau came to Palau's Chuuk Lagoon in 1969 to film the wreckage of Japan's Pacific fleet, most of which sunk there during World War II. The wrecks have since been colonized by a variety of marine life that includes corals, rays, turtles, and over 200 species of fish.
Above all, Palau is known for it's sharks, with some 130 threatened species inhabiting the islands. To protect the islands' ecosystem, Palau's government in 2009 named the country's waters a 'shark sanctuary', banning all commercial shark harvesting. Divers are likely to run into grey reef sharks, whitetips, and other species patrolling both wrecks and wall sites like Blue Corner.
2. The Great Barrier Reef.
While most Americans would be hard-pressed to find Palau on a map, even non-divers know the Great Barrier Reef. Running nearly 1,500 miles down the eastern coast of Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest reef in the world and is said to be visible from space. To go with its size, the Great Barrier Reef has an almost unfathomably large collection of sea life. Besides moray eels, wrasse, and other common coral-dwellers, rarer creatures like giant clams and sea snakes abound.
Visiting the Great Barrier Reef by car is a good alternative for those who aren't willing to commit to a liveaboard: the GBR is probably the world's most road trip-friendly reef, and many people choose to town-hop down the coast, doing their diving by day boat. From Cairns on the reef's northern end, divers can catch a boat out to Hamilton Reef, a favorite spot for marine mammals like dolphins and Minke whales. Moving south, Townsville is the base for trips to the SS Yongala, a 1911 wreck-turned-reef that now sports turtles, large sea snakes, and other super-sized animals. Gladstone, located further south, is the connection point for boats to Heron Island, said to have some of the best diving on the GBR.
3. Galapagos Islands.
Known for inspiring Darwin's theory of evolution, Ecuador's Galapagos Islands are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a reserve for one of the world's largest populations of endemic wildlife. With the waters around the islands protected, the local fish have very little fear of humans, and many will even approach divers. Sea lions, turtles, and manta rays are everywhere, and starfish, sea cucumbers, and Galapagos crabs seem to cover the sand in some spots. Sharks, including hammerheads, are common but not dangerous. Diving in Galapagos is tricky, and really only for experienced divers.
The islands are unusual for the tropics in that most of the diving is on volcanic drop-offs instead of coral reefs, so dive sites are deep and very exposed to ocean currents. Thanks to the Antarctic Humboldt current, which passes by the islands, the water is unusually cold for the equator; a 7mm wetsuit is standard gear. If you're planning on going to Galapagos, keep in mind that all visitors, whether Ecuadorian or foreign, need an INGALA transit card to visit the islands; the card costs $10 for foreigners and must be purchased before going to Galapagos. Visitors also have to pay a park fee ($100 for foreigners) upon arrival in the islands.
4. Cocos Island, Costa Rica.
Costa Rica is famous as an eco-tourism destination, and few places in the country are better for it than Cocos Island, a rainforest-covered spot of land 340 miles off Costa Rica's Pacific shore. Accessible only by liveaboard, Cocos is one of the largest uninhabited islands outside of the Arctic: the only residents are a group of about 30 park rangers. While visitors can land for day hikes and other activities, they have to be off the island by nightfall.
Cocos is an oceanic island, so visitors can expect to see an eclectic mix of animals, including octopuses, Booby in Galapagoshawksbill turtles, tuna, and hammerhead and whitetip sharks. The island is especially famous for whale sharks, most often sighted in deep, off-shore sites like Dirty Rock, a 100-yard-wide underwater channel northwest of the island. As in Galapagos, the diving in Cocos is generally on the deep side and in strong current, so it's not for beginners. With sea kayaking and whale-watching nearby, divers shouldn't have a hard time keeping themselves occupied during surface intervals.
5. The Red Sea.
Europeans have been diving the Red Sea for decades, but it's only been in the past few years that American divers have begun to join them. The 1,200-mile-long sliver of water has an impressive variety of habitats available for divers to visit, from coral reefs in the south to deep walls and wrecks in the north. The Egyptian city of Sharm El-Sheik has become the base for Red Sea diving; from there, visitors can board a liveaboard or take day trips to coastal sites.
The extra-saline Red Sea's marine life is much like that found in the Indian Ocean, with a few endemic species like the blue-cheek butterflyfish thrown in for good measure. There are loads of sponge and coral species, dolphins, sharks, and tropical fish like anthias and clownfish. At 1,200 miles long, there's plenty of Red Sea to explore, and divers may even need multiple days to exhaust the possibilities at enormous offshore sites like Daedalus Reef.

Expanding frontiers in Africa
This article from News.com.au talks about Africa’s remarkable and awe-inspiring transformation as it opens its doors to tourists from around the world.
From getting up close to gorillas in Rwanda to camping in luxury tents in Kenya, Australians are embracing Africa like never before. Travel to sub-Saharan Africa has risen by more than 200 per cent over the past decade, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics figures, and travel companies are adding more tours to cater for growing demand.
Andrew Kelleher, who is product manager for Scenic Tours and Evergreen Tours, says that while backpackers travel on overland trucks in off-the-beaten-track destinations in Malawi, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia, older travellers are embracing luxury lodges in South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania. Kelleher says they prefer longer stays of three nights at each 5-star lodge. "They prefer to travel in July, August or September which is peak time for the Great Migration in Kenya," he says.
Kelleher says there is also growing interest in the luxurious Rovos train trip in South Africa and the Blue Train between Pretoria and Cape Town. Scenic Tours has introduced a six-day itinerary to the Okavango Delta in Botswana next year. "We only put the brochure out a month ago and we already have people booked on it," Kelleher says. "It's expensive but it's top of the tree with everything included from massages to ... safaris and you're in an area where there's no other people."
Travel Directors marketing manager Helen Power says they have introduced more tours to Africa in the past few years because of demand. "Up until three or four years ago we didn't focus that much on Africa but our clients were saying ' ... why don't you do more in Africa?' so we're really ... expanding our product," Power says.
She says the company's most popular tour is the 28-day African Dawn itinerary in January, which includes mountain gorillas in Rwanda, and Uganda and Ethiopia for the Timkat Festival - one of the world's biggest religious festivals.
APT introduced Africa to its program in May and is expanding it next year with new lodges and hotels, a new private game reserve and a second itinerary with a three-day Zambezi Queen luxury cruise safari on Botswana's Chobe River.
APT sales manager Scott Ellis says travellers are preferring to travel in smaller groups and stretch their trip for up to a month to see as much as they can because they see it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The company is offering a companion-fly-free deal (excluding taxes) from $795, for bookings before December 31, saving up to $2040 a couple.

Palace Travel reviews the ‘Cradle of Mankind’
Palace Travel reviews provide an interesting glimpse on the best African tour destinations. This blog article talks about the “Cradle of Mankind,” the fossil-rich site in South Africa.
Palace Travel Image Credit: www.popularmechanics.co.za
Just 20 miles from the bustling Johannesburg metropolis, a 183-square-mile of sacred ground bears witness to the prehistoric roots of the modern man—the “Cradle of Mankind,” a world heritage site located at Gauteng Province in South Africa (with some sites extending up to the North West Province).
Palace Travel Image Credit: www.sciencealert.com.au
An anthropological treasure, the 47,000 hectares of land littered with dolomitic limestone caves have so far produced more than a dozen fossils of the earliest human inhabitants, along with their crude tools and prehistoric animals.
The most dramatic finds, however, were the over 850 hominid fossils, including the 2.5-million-year-old adult female Australopithecus africanus discovered at the Sterkfontein caves in 1936. She was later nicknamed “Mrs. Ples,” a shortened form of its initial name Plesianthropus transvaalensis or "near-man" of the Transvaal.

Aside from other caves that produced faunal remains and some hominid fossils, the Swartkrans site just 1.5 kilometers northwest of the Sterkfontein Caves yielded fossils of Homo ergaster (means "working human"), an African Homo erectus that was said to be responsible for the first use of controlled fire at Swartkrans.
Now a must-see site in South Africa, the “Cradle of Mankind” is one of the richest locations that bring humankind to its prehistoric past.
