Just last week, the latest Statistics SA accommodation figures underscored this trend: Total income for the accommodation industry for the second quarter of 2012 increased by 11,2%, and the number of stay unit nights sold for the second quarter of 2012 increased by 8,2%, both compared to the same period in 2011."
