The South African Government has shown its support for the football spectacle by spending a lot of money on stadiums, infrastructure, transport, security and promotions. The government fully supports this extravaganza to the fullest and its all systems go.

There are 10 stadiums in 9 cities where the 2010 Soccer Finals games will be played and televised around the world. Around 1 million tourists visit South Africa each month. The soccer finals is expected to bring around an extra 500 000 tourists looking for 2010 accommodation which will put the existing guest houses, hotels and B&B’s under some strain. However, SA has a lot of small operators that will make up the difference. Tourism is what we do best.

South Africa has hosted a number of other world class sport events before. Having successfully hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup, the 2003 Cricket World Cup and many more, South Africa has become known around the world for its excellent facilities, quality accommodation and 1st class standards. Millions of supporters have enjoyed our hospitality and returned back home safely and satisfied.

South Africa is also well known for tourism in general. From the tropical beaches of Durban to the snow peaked mountains of the Drakensberg, Kwa-Zulu Natal to the financial hub of Johannesburg, to the world famous playground for the rich, the city of Cape Town, and finally to the game and safari parks of Mpumalanga. There is truly something for everyone.

I’m certain you will have an unforgettable time when you come. Go for it, live life and experience something different for once. Book some 2010 accommodation and come to South Africa. You won’t be disappointed.
