Tourists view of the factors that gives the Kruger National Park a competitive edge
No full textThe tourism industry is becoming more competitive by the day; in order to remain competitive, it is of paramount
importance that competitive advantage factors be identified by tourism destinations such as national parks. The
purpose of this research was to determine the said factors of South Africa’s flagship national park: the Kruger
National Park. To achieve this, a survey was conducted at this park in 2013 where 436 questionnaires were
administered to overnight visitors at selected rest camps in its southern region. A factor analysis revealed five
competitive advantage factors: Wildlife Experiences, Marketing and Branding, Accommodation and Retail, Visitor
Management and Suprastructure and Amenities. The Kruger National Park’s management can exploit these
results to improve its current position as a competitive tourism destination. The competitive advantage factors
that have been identified are distinctive for national parks, thereby contributing towards the body of knowledge
on this topic. The competitive advantage factors could lead to an increase in product and service quality offered
by the park and enhance the visitor’s experience, therefore leading to increased visitor numbers to the park and
higher income to have the park become more self-sufficient
The influence of interpretation on visitors behaviour in the Kruger National Park
No full textIt is a well-known fact that interpretation influences visitors’ behaviour to be more in line with respect for the environment, philanthropic support for conservation and generally environmental sound behaviour. This study made use of two theories, the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and the cognitive dissonance theory, to examine the influence of interpretation on both attitudes and behaviour within the Kruger National Park. Apart from the confirmation of these theories by means of structural equation modelling, this chapter also empirically confirmed a classification of interpretation by means of an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis

An analysis of critical success factors in managing the tourist experience at Kruger National Park
No full textKruger National Park (KNP) attracts over 1 million tourists per annum and is one of the top five international destinations in South Africa. However, there is a lot of competition in South Africa and, together with the 22 national parks managed by SANParks, there are also local and provincial parks and more than 9,000 game farms with neighboring countries such as Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana competing for ecotourists. This implies the need for higher quality products and services that must be delivered to the tourist to fulfill the expectations of tourists. This can be achieved by determining the critical success factors (CSFs) in managing the tourist experience at KNP, since knowledge of these factors can lead to a satisfied tourist experience that will keep visitors loyal to the park and thus ensure the competitiveness and sustainability of the KNP. The purpose of this research is therefore to determine the CSFs of managing the tourist experience at KNP. To achieve this goal, a questionnaire survey was conducted at KNP from December 27, 2010 to January 4, 2011. Questionnaires were distributed at the chalets and camping areas in the following rest camps: Skukuza (152), Berg & Dal (98), Lower Sabie (85), and Satara (101). A total of 436 questionnaires were obtained from the rest camps. The results showed that nine CSFs can be identified, which KNP management can use to improve on quality service delivery, giving the tourists a memorable experience at KNP. Three of the nine CSFs that have not yet been identified in previous research are wildlife experience, interpretation, and luxuries
The impacts of tourism on two communities adjacent to the Kruger National Park, South Africa
No full textThis paper explores the socioeconomic impacts of tourism associated with the Kruger National Park, South Africa's flagship national park, on the neighbouring villages of Cork and Belfast. Case study research, where the study area was characterised as a social-ecological system, was used to investigate the impacts of Park tourism on these communities. The findings offer a micro-scale, local community perspective of these impacts and indicate that the enclave nature of Park tourism keeps local communities separate from the Park and makes it hard for them to benefit from it. The paper concludes with reflections on this perceived separation, and suggests the need to make the Park boundaries more 'permeable' so as to improve relationships with adjacent communities, while also pragmatically managing community expectation

Clustering Kruger National Park visitors based on interpretation
No full textInterpretation is considered to be an important educational tool that not only addresses visitors’ expectations but also contributes to national parks’ conservation purposes. This study segmented the Kruger National Park’s visitors based on expected interpretation services and revealed four clusters that differed based on their expected and experienced interpretation services as well as their motivational aspects. This study’s distinct contribution is the alternative segmentation approach which revealed the viability of the expected interpretation variable to use for ecotourism segmentation purposes. This study not only assists the Kruger National Park to appropriately address interpretation services but also aids other ecotourism destinations
