This paper explores the post-pandemic destination marketing attributes of the Davao Region, employing an exploratory factor analysis to identify and understand the underlying dimensions. This study utilized a sequential exploratory design using a stratified sampling technique involving 253 local tourists who visited the Davao Region twice a year after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thematic analysis was employed; from 50 item statements, only 23 items were classified under five constructs after seven iterations. The results revealed that the post-pandemic attributes of the Davao Region are value for money, safety and security, recreational activities, inherited resources, supporting factors, and resources. Moreover, this finding may serve as a methodological reference for future studies in tourism. Confirmatory factor analysis is highly recommended for improving the quality and precision of research findings, contributing to the growth of knowledge in tourism management studies.

The study sought to highlight the safety and security risks encountered by the management, staff and guests in bed and breakfast (B&B) organisations, specifically in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. A perceived lack of security causes B&B establishments to be seen as easy targets for criminals, which makes these establishments the target of various types of crime and puts the guests' and the B&B assets at risk. Security has been recognised for a considerable period as an important need for strengthening the growth and expansion of the accommodation sector, but especially the B&B industry in developing countries. The B&B sector plays an important role in the development of South Africa's economy, with tourism capacity-building, creating employment, redistribution of income and encouraging local people to open small businesses. The objective of this article is to assess whether there are effective security systems in place to assist security personnel in the B&B industry in Idutywa and Butterworth in the Eastern Cape province to deal successfully with security issues at the B&Bs. A qualitative methodology was employed to collect data that would result in a narrative and form of interpretive practice. This methodology involved interviews in the form of meetings, writing notes, making voice recordings, and employing a naturalistic approach. This means that the phenomenon has been considered by the researcher in terms of physical settings and attempts to derive more understanding from the collected data. Qualitative research involves testing a subject through a theory. This was the first empirical investigation conducted in Idutywa and Butterworth for safeguarding assets, staff, and guests at B&Bs, and to consider strategies of crime prevention in the B&B industry. The examination took the form of interviews as the data collection tool, which involved 20 research participants comprising security officers, B&B managers, staff, and guests at the 15 selected B&B establishments in Idutywa and Butterworth in the Eastern Cape Province. The investigation examined and documented the vital role played by security officers, staff, and managers in the safeguarding of B&B assets, and staff-and guests' valuables. The study also investigated the impact of crimes and incidents that took place in the selected establishments, as well as identifying the criminals responsible for these crimes. The study revealed that while management of the B&Bs was generally aware of possible criminal activities, and had taken precautions to prevent these, much still needs to be done.

“…Women's small businesses in South Africa still fail which explains why a study on marketing mix training in particular is paramount importance because it can result in sound business profitability if properly applied (Amjad et al, 2020;Louise, 2011). Women's businesses play a significant dominant role in the South African economy through economic development, wealth creation, and employment generation (Hlengwa and Thusi, 2018). Despite their immense role, women's businesses receive little attention in terms of research into their marketing behaviour in South Africa (Phillips et al, 2019).…”

Motivated by lack of empirical research on how the marketing mix (price, place, product promotion, process, packaging, physical evidence, people, programming and partnership) directly or indirectly enhance the women’s business viability and sustainability in South Africa and elsewhere. This research empirically investigated how marketing mix can be used to enhance women’s business viability among 301 registered business owners trained in marketing and participated in the survey and answered details questions focusing on Limpopo province -South Africa. AIDA theory, diffusion of innovation theory and Marketing Mix Theory underpinned the study. Quantitative descriptive survey research strategy was adopted, Robustness analysis was entirely performed using SPSS version 28. The study’s findings were that women’s businesses in Musina and Blouberg in Limpopo province use the 10Ps. The four most used marketing strategies were, price, place promotion and product. The averagely used marketing strategies were: people, packaging, programming, physical evidence and partnership. This study contributes to the current body of knowledge and further contributes to the use of 10Ps marketing mix strategies and framework by women’s businesses. The study’s main implication is that business entities may not achieve their full financial performance potential due to little or no attention to the use of 10Ps marketing mix components and training. This study provides robust recommendations and insights into marketing practices applicable to other business entities globally.
