    Abstract
    This tourism strategy provides an overview of the DMA tourism product, an analysis of the strategic influences affecting the region and recommendations to achieve our vision 2010, of making the DMA a "must-see" destination in Africa. It provides a cohesive framework for the development of tourism in the region, bringing together key players including local tourism agencies, the city council, hotels, visitor attractions, retailers and transport providers. The regions strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats were evaluated and this led to identification of the key issues that will affect the future success of tourism in the DMA. The impact of tourism is much wider than the purely economic. Tourism initiatives also support local businesses, culture and craft. The need to maintain attractive, high quality visitor destinations has meant that tourism contributes to the protection and upkeep of the regions built and natural environments. There are a number of key issues and challenges that face the tourism sector of the DMA. These were addressed with recommendations in order to achieve our Vision 2010: • Market segmentation • Image-and branding • Developing market intelligence • Communication and information technology • Partnership and co-ordination • Competing through quality • Business support • Development of "Must-Sees" • Major sporting events • Monitoring and Evaluation An aggressive competitive strategy to outsmart our competitors and make the DMA a "must-see" destination in Africa has been clearly outlined. There is a need for strategic leadership to bring all the relevant parties together to drive the strategy to success. The DMA is on the threshold of becoming one of the major tourism destinations in the world and it is up to every resident in our region to make this dream come true.
