• Target might have been over ambitious given economic climate;

• Declining visitor numbers to national parks resulted in a 0.63% (equivalent to R1.665 million) less income realised from conservation fees than budget, most of which is generated from international market.

• Easter weekend fall within financial year

• New revenue generating projects coming on line shortly

• SANParks is cautiously optimistic that annual target will be achieved
