World Cup 2010: Itc Supports Tourism Development Kick-Off
Summary
Officials, tourist industry leaders and community organizations from South Africa's Eastern Cape province met in Port Elizabeth in June to ensure the region uses the 2010 FIFA World Cup to create a solid basis for reducing poverty, through a lasting boom in tourism. The expected influx of 3.5 million tourists for football's World Cup is considered a business development opportunity. The region has substantial but largely untapped tourism potential in natural resources, wildlife, culture and history. Eastern Cape will host six matches, and may also provide base camp and training areas for two teams from other countries taking part in the six-week competition.
