title = "Tourism and Accommodation Services in South Africa: A Spatial Perspective",
abstract = "Geographers are major contributors to tourism studies. TourismTourism geographical research has diversified in scope and broadened from earlier issues of spatial analysis to include a range of different theoretical issues, methodological perspectives and empirical agendas. It is argued that a case exists for the re-spatialization of geographical research on tourism. The importance of understanding the shifting spatial landscape of tourism is critical for national and local policymakers in South Africa. In this analysis, insight is provided concerning the changing sector of tourism accommodation services by adopting a spatial perspective. The unevenness of tourism spend patterns provides an essential basis for interpreting the tourism space economy representing the demand-side of the tourism-accommodation nexus. Unpacking bednight dataBednight data, it is shown that the supply-side of accommodation services in South Africa encompasses both a commercial and a non-commercial component, the latter linked to travel for visiting friends and family.",
