P0351 - Tourism and Migration, April 2014

Publication date & time: 24 March 2015 @ 09:00
Important Notice: Statistics South Africa has made changes in the Tourism and Migration statistical release starting from the January 2014 statistics. This change has become necessary as a result of the implementation of the new Movement Control System (e-MCS) at the country’s ports of entry. Currently the new system (e-MCS) is operational at over 80% of the country’s ports of entry. The system roll-out is expected to be finalised by end of 2015/16. The change affects the identification of Transit Travellers that are currently categorised under Direction instead of Purpose of Movement. With the revision, Table 1 and Table 2 in the release now include a category for Transit while all tables reporting on tourists exclude transit travellers.
