3. Why does the DTGS describe domestic tourism as providing a "more stable" source of income for tourism businesses than international tourism?
Because international arrivals can be affected by global economic conditions, exchange rates, and travel advisories, while domestic tourism is less exposed to these factors
Because domestic tourists always spend more money than international tourists
Because international tourism has no economic value to South Africa at all
Because domestic tourists never cancel their trips for any reason
Answer: Because international arrivals can be affected by global economic conditions, exchange rates, and travel advisories, while domestic tourism is less exposed to these factors — International arrivals are more exposed to external shocks like global economic downturns, exchange rate movements, and travel advisories, making domestic tourism a comparatively more stable income source.
