The above table confirms that the Eastern Cape is the third most popular holiday destination for domestic tourists in South Africa (Although the percentage market share of the Eastern Cape, Western Cape and Limpopo provinces are virtually the same this does not correlate with previous surveys).
The annual summer holiday at the coast is still the most popular attraction for most South Africans. There are only three provinces in South Africa with a coastline and hence it is unlikely that the Eastern Cape would be fourth.
