According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, "International Tourism is steadily gaining momentum following an extremely challenging 2009". International Tourist arrivals grew by 7% in the first two months of 2010 worldwide. Growth was particularly strong in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. South Africa's sophistication and its amazing people are just the thing when it comes to building a strong Tourism economy.
Our President Mr. Zuma quoted at the Indaba from the 8th until the 11th of May that "The World Cup has changed the face of South Africa. Not only has it revitalised our economy, but it has given impetus to infrastructual development and future job creation".
OF NOTE:
At the Indaba, Ms Malmsey Rangaka of M'Hudi Wines was called to the podium to show exhibitors her ETAYA (Emerging Tourism Entrepeneur of the Year Award) and the people from the Western Cape were geniunely proud that the trophy had come home to the Provence.
