Editor's Notes

  1. Looking at the US and Global economies seem to be getting back on their feet, with the US GDP growth coming in at 3.5% in Q3 and China grow at almost 9%. I would caution, however, that much of the growth that we are seeing is the result of unprecedented stimulus spending from governments all over the world, and relative strength this year versus an economy and consumption which hit the wall as a result of systematic instability and broad based panic last year. At some point the stimulus has to slow, the consumer has to stand on his and her own two feet, and governments have to start to pay back their borrowings. These are not ingredients for a strong recovery. Odds are that the next five years will be challenging and most growth will come from gaining market share rather then a rising tides of economic growth. This will require the hospitality industry in Southern Africa to execute more effectively and innovate faster then competitor destinations. While we have a difficult path ahead of us I have never been more confident of the ability of the tourism sector to expand its current position and grow its economic importance in the region.
