Abstract
This research focuses on the accommodation development in the Kruger National Park
of South Africa. It makes a comparison of the accommodation that was there from
1980 to 1994 and the period after. The main objective is to analyze changes in
accommodation and other activities in the context of the changing tourism policies
and tourist tastes, a question which tourism literature to date has not paid much
attention to. This was done using the concept of a tourism product with
accommodation being the product that changes on the basis of supply and demand.
Major sources that were used are policy documents, parks annual reports and archival
resources and tourism and travel magazines and brochures.
