South African Tourism is responsible for supporting policy development and

evaluation, research and knowledge management, promotion of sector

transformation and responsible tourism.

A

destination is of a higher spatial rank than a region.

Within

comprehensive national planning, the aggregation approach is also called the

“top-down” approach.

A

“sector”, in the context of tourism planning, can be defined as a

resource-based or needs-based activity or function that is managed at the destination

zone level

Destination zones are

divided into four categories, namely primary, secondary, tertiary, and final

destination zones
