To address the question regarding the international tourists who visited South Africa, here is a detailed step-by-step solution:
### Step 1: Ranking the Top Five Source Markets Based on Number of Tourists (Jan-June 2023)
We start by identifying the total number of international tourists from each source market who visited South Africa from January to June 2023. The data for Jan-June 2023 is given as follows:
- Market 1 (Europe): 594,388
- Market 2 (North America): 201,386
- Market 3 (Central & South America): 19,065
- Market 4 (Australasia): 50,882
- Market 5 (Middle East): 95,596
- Market 6 (Africa - Land): 2,967,595
- Market 7 (Indian Ocean Islands): 115,988
- Market 8 (Middle East): 99
- Market 9 (Asian Mainland): 22,497
To determine the top 5 markets, we rank these numbers in descending order:
1. Africa - Land: 2,967,595
2. Europe: 594,388
3. North America: 201,386
4. Indian Ocean Islands: 115,988
5. Middle East: 95,596
Thus, the top five source markets from the highest to lowest number of international tourists in Jan to June 2023 are:
1. Africa - Land
2. Europe
3. North America
4. Indian Ocean Islands
5. Middle East
### Step 2: Determining the Two Source Markets with the Highest Growth Percentage
Growth percentages are calculated based on the difference in visits between Jan-June 2022 and Jan-June 2023, compared to the numbers in Jan-June 2022. The growth percentages for each market are provided as follows:
- Market 6 (Africa - Land): Highest growth percentage (infinite, as 2022 data is 0)
- Market 7 (Indian Ocean Islands): 737,100.23%
The two source markets that recorded the highest growth percentage in international tourist arrivals from Jan to June 2023 compared to Jan-June 2022 are:
1. Africa - Land
2. Indian Ocean Islands
### Step 3: Ranking the Bottom Three Source Markets by Percentage Increase
Next, we identify the three markets with the smallest percentage increase. This requires examining the lowest growth percentages among the source markets. The bottom three growth percentages are:
- Market 1 (Europe): 66.80%
- Market 2 (North America): 70.58%
- Market 3 (Central & South America): 74.40%
The bottom three source markets in terms of percentage increase (from the lowest to highest percentage increase) are:
1. Europe
2. North America
3. Central & South America
### Summary:
