Tourism’s estimated contribution to South Africa’s GDP increased from 4.6% in 1993 to 8.3% in 2006. It is expected to increase to 12% by 2014. Tourism has been set steep goals for the next five years: 500 000 new jobs, 8.5 million international arrivals annually and a contribution to the GDP of at least R100 billion a year. In addition, tourism is the only sector nationally that has managed to grow jobs (currently half a million and rising) while increasing its contribution to the GDP. For every 12 new tourists to the country, one new job is created. By 2010, South Africa plans to accommodate 10 million foreign visitors annually. 

CE at UP offers a variety of training courses in tourism – from tour guide training to tourism software and systems management.
