Sure, let's answer the questions one by one using the given table data.
### 3.1.1 Calculate the increase in tourism revenue in quarter 1 of 2018 compared to quarter 1 of 2017.
1. Revenue for Q1 2017: R19.0 billion
2. Revenue for Q1 2018: R20.7 billion
To find the increase in tourism revenue, we subtract the revenue of Q1 2017 from the revenue of Q1 2018:
[tex]\[
\text{Increase in revenue} = \text{Revenue for Q1 2018} - \text{Revenue for Q1 2017}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
= R20.7\, \text{billion} - R19.0\, \text{billion}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
= R1.7\, \text{billion}
\][/tex]
So, the increase in tourism revenue for Q1 of 2018 compared to Q1 of 2017 is R1.7 billion.
### 3.1.2 Indicate the average spend per day during quarter 1 of 2018.
From the table data:
- Average spend per day during Q1 2018: R700
Thus, the average spend per day during quarter 1 of 2018 is R700.
### 3.1.3 Indicate the length of stay for quarter 1 of 2017.
From the table data:
- Length of stay for Q1 2017: 10 nights
Thus, the length of stay for quarter 1 of 2017 is 10 nights.
### 3.1.4 Suggest ONE factor (reason) that could have had a negative effect on international tourist expenditure in quarter 1 of 2018 compared to quarter 1 of 2017.
One possible factor that could have had a negative effect on international tourist expenditure in Q1 of 2018 compared to Q1 of 2017 is:
- The decrease in the average spend per day from R730 in Q1 2017 to R700 in Q1 2018.
This decrease in daily spending by tourists could have contributed to a lower overall expenditure despite other variables such as increased arrivals and longer stays.
### Summary
1. The increase in tourism revenue in Q1 2018 compared to Q1 2017 is R1.7 billion.
2. The average spend per day during Q1 2018 is R700.
3. The length of stay for Q1 2017 is 10 nights.
4. One negative factor affecting tourist expenditure in Q1 2018 is the decrease in the average spend per day from R730 to R700.
