This focused study is a result of the noted increase in the number of visitors from North America to Southern Africa. North America offers Southern Africa two particular tourist source markets i.e. United States of America and Canada. Each has their own unique wealth sectors and demographics for separate studies. The Retosa tourism study aims to bring about information pertaining to these lucrative markets. It will deliver detailed analysis of surveys conducted in the US and Canada.
