With the arrival of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa this year, it’s no surprise that half year growth rates grew from 4,5% in 2009 to over 24% in the first six months of this year. This session will reveal how operators in South Africa coped with and have benefited from such a huge influx of international arrivals and how they plan to maintain growth in the post-World Cup era. The session will also feature a consumer focus, through a survey carried out at South African airports earlier this year. Peter Mohn of M1NDSET Research will share the results of a consumer survey at both Cape Town and Johannesburg airports, providing a greater understanding of the preferences and behaviour of shoppers in South African duty free shops.
