New market study, "Lodging in South Africa", has been published

Demand for accommodation services in hotels remained fairly stable in South Africa in 2014. Demand was in line with the stable inflow of tourists to the country year on year. South Africa provides a wide variety of hotel accommodation, ranging from ungraded to five-star hotels. This enables tourists with varying spending power to purchase accommodation to suit their needs. The year 2014 witnessed value growth of 5%. The hotels category in South Africa continued to recover from the oversupply of rooms after the FIFA Soccer World Cup in 2010, as hotel operators expected to witness more demand beyond the world football event, which did not materialise. The excess room supply had more impact on the Western Cape and Kwazulu Natal provinces, where an increase in tourist activities was anticipated beyond this event.

Lodging is expected to experience negative value growth over the forecast period, with the use of cheaper accommodation alternatives, such as backpacking facilities and self-catering apartments, set to result in a negative value CAGR of 1% at constant 2014 prices over the period. More local consumers are also likely to make use of friends and relatives for accommodation as consumer spending power remains under pressure from the rising cost of living.
