	<title>South Africa’s next tourism opportunity lies beyond the postcard</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/south-africas-next-tourism-opportunity-lies-beyond-the-postcard-297137a</link>
	<description>South Africa has built a strong tourism identity around its most iconic attractions. 

Table Mountain. A safari at sunrise. Cape Town’s coastline. Kruger National Park. The Winelands.

These are the images that have helped put South Africa firmly on the global tourism map. They are instantly recognisable and continue to give travellers compelling reasons to visit.

But as tourism grows, I believe our next opportunity is to sell something beyond the postcard: the story behind it.</description>
