Sure! Let's go through each of the sub-questions step-by-step based on the data provided in the table.

### 1.1.1 Name the type of tourist that is referred to in this table.
The type of tourist referred to in this table is overseas tourists or international tourists. This is clear from the context as the table compares tourist arrivals from various countries to South Africa.

### 1.1.2 Identify the country which is regarded as South Africa's source market.
A "source market" refers to the country from which the most tourists are arriving. In 2023, the country with the highest number of tourist arrivals is the United Kingdom with 356,160 tourists.

### 1.1.3 Which country among the ten leading overseas countries had the largest increase in the number of tourists from 2022 to 2023?
To find the country with the largest increase, we subtract the 2022 value from the 2023 value for each country and identify the maximum.

- United Kingdom: [tex]\( 356160 - 283031 = 73129 \)[/tex]
- United States of America: [tex]\( 353975 - 262183 = 91792 \)[/tex]
- Germany: [tex]\( 245259 - 173146 = 72113 \)[/tex]
- The Netherlands: [tex]\( 131371 - 90289 = 41082 \)[/tex]
- France: [tex]\( 119974 - 76077 = 43947 \)[/tex]
- Australia: [tex]\( 86250 - 53769 = 32481 \)[/tex]
- India: [tex]\( 79774 - 55506 = 24268 \)[/tex]
- Canada: [tex]\( 55056 - 35501 = 19555 \)[/tex]
- Italy: [tex]\( 52091 - 32357 = 19734 \)[/tex]
- Belgium: [tex]\( 46348 - 34826 = 11522 \)[/tex]

The country with the largest increase is the United States of America with an increase of 91,792 tourists.

### 1.1.4 Calculate the average number of tourist arrivals for 2022 and 2023.
To calculate the average number of tourist arrivals for each year, we sum the tourist arrivals for each year and divide by the number of countries (10).

For 2022:
[tex]\[ \text{Average} = \frac{283031 + 262183 + 173146 + 90289 + 76077 + 53769 + 55506 + 35501 + 32357 + 34826}{10} = \frac{1096685}{10} = 109668.5 \][/tex]

For 2023:
[tex]\[ \text{Average} = \frac{356160 + 353975 + 245259 + 131371 + 119974 + 86250 + 79774 + 55056 + 52091 + 46348}{10} = \frac{1730258}{10} = 173025.8 \][/tex]

### 1.1.5 Calculate the percentage increase in the number of tourist arrivals in South Africa from India between 2022 and 2023.
The formula for percentage increase is:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \right) \times 100 \][/tex]

For India:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{79774 - 55506}{55506} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{24268}{55506} \right) \times 100 \approx 43.73\% \][/tex]

### 1.1.6 Draw a bar graph to rearrange the number of tourist arrivals for 2023 in ascending order (from least to most) for the ten countries.

To draw the bar graph manually:

1. First, sort the 2023 data in ascending order along with corresponding countries:

- Canada: 55,056
- Italy: 52,091
- Belgium: 46,348
- France: 119,974
- Netherlands: 131,371
- Australia: 86,250
- India: 79,774
- Germany: 245,259
- USA: 353,975
- UK: 356,160

2. Arrange these in a bar graph:

```
|
60k|
|
50k|
|
40k|
|
30k|
|
20k|
| *
10k|---------------------
| Canada Italy Belgium France Netherlands Australia India Germany USA UK
```

In this graph, the height of each bar corresponds to the count of tourist arrivals in 2023.
