The Accommodation Industry in South Africa 2017

LONDON, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The South African Accommodation Sector:
Income from the Accommodation sector reached R22.8bn in 2016, an increase of 12.3% over the previous year. Although this growth trend continued during the three months from March to May 2017 when a 6.5% year-on-year increase was recorded, it was driven mainly by rate increases. The industry as a whole is extremely sensitive to the effects of the weak economy and increases in property rates, electricity, water, salaries, food and operating materials are reducing the margins of all role players ranging from guest houses and B&Bs to multinational luxury hotel groups.
