Total Direct Spending for Overnight Visitors in 2005/ 2006 The Total Direct Spending by visitors for 2005/2006 is then estimated by multiplying the spend per day by the average length of stay by the number of tourist visitors. This total does not include the spending on their behalf by tour operators/ ground operators/ travel agents etc. Table 2.2: Total Direct Spending for Overnight Visitors in 2005/ 2006 Total Number of Tourist Arrivals 2005/06 1,759,000 Average Length of Stay 5.3 nights Average Expenditure per Day 270 Total Direct Expenditure P million 2517 Source: Derived from DOT Arrival Statistics and Visitor Surveys The total direct spending is estimated at Pula 2,517 million for 2005/06. In reviewing the markets, as shown in Table 2.3 and Figure 2.2, the significance of the neighbouring countries is apparent, but the above figures do not include tour operator spending on behalf of tourists.

Figure 2.2 – Direct Expenditure by Source Market DIRECT EXPENDITURE FROM SOURCE MARKET Australia France Germany Namibia Other South Africa Zimbabw e Zambia USA UK Australia France Germany Namibia South Africa UK USA Zambia Zimbabw e Other Breakdown of the Visitor Spending Sample estimates of the breakdown of overnight visitor expenditure are obtained from DOT visitor surveys in 2005 and in 2006. The key feature of these breakdowns is that this is the expenditure by the tourist himself or herself. The breakdowns of expenditure and the figures adopted for 2005/2006 are shown in the Table 2.4 below. These figures derive from the respondent‟s view on how much he spent on the different categories of expenditure.
