South Africa targets 1L Indian tourist arrivals

Jaipur, South Africa is targeting 1 lakh Indian tourist arrivals in 2026, with a growing focus on younger and experience-seeking travellers, South African Tourism Chief Operating Officer Ismail Dockrat has said.He also said that Rajasthan is emerging as an important market for South Africa, and that there is a scope for industry collaboration between the two destinations.India is one of our most important growth markets, and our target for 2026 is to reach 100,000 Indian arrivals, which would bring us back to around our pre-pandemic levels, Dockrat, who was in Jaipur to attend the recently held BRICS Tourism Working Group meeting, told PTI.Also Read| South Africa adds R500 processing fee to ETA system; heres what travellers will paySouth Africa received close to 70,000 Indian visitors in 2025.Dockrat said the aim over the next three years is to build sustained growth beyond the 1 lakh mark, with visa facilitation and air connectivity remaining key priorities.He said the profile of Indian travellers is changing significantly and there is an increasing interest in luxury, adventure, experiential travel, destination weddings and youth travel.The Indian traveller is becoming far more diverse and experience-led.While families and group travel remain important, we are seeing growing interest in luxury and experiential travel, adventure, multi-generational holidays, destination weddings, incentives and youth travel, he said.Those travellers are seeking experiences that are immersive and personal, whether that is adventure, food and wine, culture, self-drive journeys or unique wildlife experiences, Dockrat added.He said while Cape Town and Johannesburg will always remain important gateways, the South Africa Tourism was looking to encourage Indian travellers to discover the wider diversity of South Africa.Also Read| South Africa launches ETA: Indians can now get digital travel approval in 24-48 hoursWe see strong potential in destinations and experiences such as the Winelands, the Garden Route, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga, along with our coastal experiences, culinary journeys, cultural heritage and adventure offerings.A traveller who comes to Cape Town can explore the Winelands or continue along the Garden Route. Similarly, a wildlife itinerary can be combined with culture, adventure and premium experiences, he said.He said there is a scope for industry collaboration between the tourist destinations of Rajasthan and South Africa.Rajasthan and South Africa have some very interesting synergies, particularly around heritage, luxury, wildlife, weddings and experiential travel. Both destinations appeal to travellers looking for distinctive and immersive experiences, Dockrat said.For us, Rajasthan is also an important emerging market because of its growing base of affluent and experience-led travellers, he added.Dockrat said accessibility, particularly visas and air connectivity, is the biggest priority for accelerating Indian arrivals.South Africa has introduced the Trusted Tour Operator Scheme and is moving towards a more digital visa process through the Electronic Travel Authorisation system. Air connectivity is a significant priority for us, and direct connectivity between South Africa and India is very much on our radar, Dockrat said, adding South African Tourism is working with airline partners and stakeholders to strengthen connectivity.The tourism body is also widening its focus beyond traditional markets such as Mumbai and Delhi to cities, including Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai, through India-specific marketing, trade engagement, cooperative campaigns, training programmes and roadshows.Dockrat said that 2027 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, to be hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, could become one of the country's biggest tourism opportunities from India.Cricket has an emotional connection with Indian audiences that few other events can match, and a World Cup provides a strong reason to travel, he said.The strategy is to turn match-driven visits into longer holidays covering wildlife, Winelands, coastlines, food, culture and adventure.South Africa is also promoting destinations beyond Cape Town and Johannesburg, including the Garden Route, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.On safety concerns, Dockrat said visitors should use reputable operators, plan responsibly and follow local guidance, while describing South Africa as a warm, diverse and welcoming destination.On BRICS tourism cooperation, he said its practical value would lie in reducing travel friction rather than merely increasing promotion.The real value of BRICS tourism cooperation will be in making travel easier in practical terms, Dockrat said, citing potential cooperation on air connectivity, tourism investment and business and MICE travel.He said a common BRICS tourist visa could be a long-term possibility.However, he said, visa policy is the responsibility of individual governments and immigration authorities.

'We Need Players Like Him To Play All Formats': Dravid On Sooryavanshi

European T20 Premier League: Former India captain Rahul Dravid believes the game needs players like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to develop into all-format cricketers, while stressing the importance of giving the 15-year-old enough time and exposure to red-ball cricket. Sooryavanshi, who has already made an impact in white-ball cricket, is set to feature for East Zone in the Duleep Trophy as he looks to gain more experience in the longer format. Dravid, who coached Sooryavanshi at Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, said the youngsters development needs to be carefully managed, with a balance between white-ball opportunities and red-ball cricket. I think you always have to find that balance. And I think its a great thing that Vaibhav is getting the experience of playing some white-ball cricket through the IPL in India, but hes also having the time to go back and play red-ball cricket in the Indian domestic system and grow his red-ball career, Dravid told Cricinfo at an event in Dublin to unveil the European T20 Premier League (ETPL). All of us also want to see Test cricket survive, all of us want to see Test cricket grow, and we need players like him to be able to hopefully play all formats of the game, he added. Sooryavanshi has played only eight first-class matches so far, averaging 17.25, and Dravid believes the youngster needs a consistent run in the format to develop his red-ball skills. The good thing is hes going to take some time, hes going to need some experience, hes going to get an opportunity to play a lot of red-ball cricket. Hes not played as much red-ball cricket as probably white-ball cricket, Dravid said. Hes only 15, and I think youve got to just give him some time and youve got to be patient with him. Hes obviously been such a success straightaway, but hes going to go through his ups and downs, and I think people are going to have to be patient with him, he added. The Duleep Trophy could provide Sooryavanshi with at least two consecutive first-class matches, while a third could come if East Zone reach the final. He may also get further red-ball opportunities when India A host Australia A in two unofficial Tests in September. Dravid also believes Sooryavanshis decision to continue playing domestic red-ball cricket rather than chasing T20 opportunities around the world will benefit his long-term development. I think hes going to have some success, but he also might have periods where it probably doesnt work out well for him. But lets all remember hes only 15 and he has a long way to go, he said. So Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, by not playing in T20 competitions all over the world, is actually playing in the red-ball Indian domestic competition. Hes growing, hes getting better at red-ball skills. I think hes going to have some success, but he also might have periods where it probably doesnt work out well for him. But lets all remember hes only 15 and he has a long way to go, he said.

J&Ks stock market investor base crosses 14 lakh, grows 19.3% in a year

Jammu and Kashmirs registered investor base in the stock market has crossed the 14-lakh mark, with the number of registered clients reaching 14,12,378 as of August 20, 2026, recording a year-on-year growth of 19.31 per cent, according to official BSE data accessed by Greater Kashmir . The figures show that J&K added 2,28,554 registered clients, or roughly 2.29 lakh investors, during the past year. This represents a substantially faster expansion than the overall growth in the countrys registered investor base, which stood at 15.80 per cent during the same period. The BSE data provides a snapshot of the changing geography of stock-market participation in India, with the countrys total registered investor base now standing at 26,03,00,179, or approximately 26.03 crore clients. J&Ks 14.12 lakh registered clients account for around 0.54 per cent of the countrys total registered investor base. While the Union Territory remains a relatively small market in terms of absolute investor numbers, the pace at which its investor base is expanding has been considerably stronger than several of the countrys largest States. The increase has also been consistent across different time periods. During the latest month, J&K added 19,478 clients, equivalent to around 19,500 new registered investors, pushing its monthly growth rate to 1.40 per cent. Over the previous three months, the number of registered clients increased by 52,618, or about 52,600 investors, representing a quarterly growth of 3.87 per cent. The national investor base, by comparison, increased by around 30.92 lakh during the latest month. Over the previous quarter, the country added approximately 85.16 lakh. Over the previous year, the national registered investor base increased by around 3.55 crore investors, taking the total to more than 26 crore. The comparison shows that J&Ks investor base is growing at a faster rate than the national average, although the absolute numbers remain much smaller. Maharashtra continues to have the largest registered investor base in the country by a considerable margin. The State has approximately 4.42 crore investors. This means that nearly one out of every six registered clients in the BSE database is registered in Maharashtra. Uttar Pradesh occupies the second position with 3,06,10,880 clients, or around 3.06 crore. Gujarat follows with 2,29,70,136, equivalent to about 2.30 crore registered clients. Rajasthan has 1,56,49,037, or around 1.56 crore, while West Bengal has 1,52,56,657, or about 1.53 crore. Karnataka has 1,39,43,659 registered clients, translating into roughly 1.39 crore, while Madhya Pradesh has 1,35,11,046, or around 1.35 crore. Tamil Nadu has 1,31,27,709, or approximately 1.31 crore registered investors. The other major States also have sizeable investor bases. Haryana has 85,72,167 registered clients, equivalent to around 85.7 lakh. Telangana has 80,08,260, or about 80.1 lakh. Punjab has 65,65,556, or approximately 65.7 lakh, while Odisha has 59,30,947, or about 59.3 lakh. Kerala has 59,17,495 registered clients, translating into around 59.2 lakh, while Assam has 53,02,132, or about 53 lakh. Jharkhand has 46,39,195, equivalent to approximately 46.4 lakh. Andhra Pradesh has crossed the one-crore mark, with 1,04,00,527 registered clients, while Bihar has 1,16,04,608, or around 1.16 crore. Delhi has 1,10,14,984, equivalent to approximately 1.10 crore registered clients. Against this national landscape, J&Ks 14.12 lakh investor base is larger than that of several smaller States and Union Territories but remains far below the investor populations of the countrys principal financial and industrial centres. For instance, Himachal Pradesh has around 15.58 lakh registered clients, only marginally above J&K. J&K has more registered clients than Manipur, which has around 2.74 lakh, Meghalaya with 1.65 lakh, Arunachal Pradesh with 1.22 lakh, Nagaland with 1.28 lakh, Sikkim with 84,221, Mizoram with 59,779, Goa with 4.99 lakh and Tripura with 4.28 lakh. Among the Union Territories, Ladakh has 5,213 registered clients, or just over 5,000, but has recorded one of the fastest rates of growth in the country. Its investor base increased by 44.44 per cent over the previous year. This is the highest annual growth rate visible in the BSE table. Mizoram recorded annual growth of 33.18 per cent, while Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh recorded 28.01 per cent and 27.33 per cent, respectively. Lakshadweep, with just over 5,000 registered clients, recorded growth of 27.87 per cent. Among larger States, J&Ks 19.31 per cent annual growth puts it in a relatively strong position. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana each recorded 19.59 per cent growth, while Tamil Nadu recorded 19.46 per cent growth. Uttar Pradesh recorded 19.08 per cent. J&Ks growth was considerably higher than Maharashtras 11.39 per cent, Gujarats 13.13 per cent, Haryanas 14.42 per cent, Punjabs 14.96 per cent, Rajasthans 15.71 per cent, Karnatakas 16.51 per cent and Keralas 16.95 per cent. The figures also indicate that the expansion in J&K has been relatively steady rather than being confined to a single period. Its monthly increase of 1.40 per cent was higher than the national monthly growth of 1.20 per cent, while its quarterly increase of 3.87 per cent was also above the national growth rate of 3.38 per cent. In absolute terms, however, the difference between the largest and smallest investor markets remains enormous. Maharashtras 4.42 crore registered clients are more than 31 times J&Ks 14.12 lakh. Uttar Pradeshs 3.06 crore investor base is more than 21 times that of J&K, while Gujarats 2.30 crore is more than 16 times larger. The national figures also underline the rapid broadening of participation in the equity market. The BSE database now contains more than 26 crore registered clients, with the number having increased by around 3.55 crore in just one year. J&Ks addition of around 2.29 lakh registered clients during the same period is small when measured against the national increase, but significant for the Union Territorys own investor base. In percentage terms, the addition represents nearly one-fifth growth in a single year.
