2010 SWC TOURIST DISPLACEMENT SURVEY

Durban will play host to several matches during the 2010 Soccer World Cup event in South Africa. This is a major event and entails the arrival, as well as inter and intra-provincial movements of large numbers of people. For this reason, certain destinations and routes will be under significant stress and it is highly likely that the ‘usual’ tourism movements during this period will be displaced. Tourism KwaZulu-Natal is seeking suggestions and creative ideas as to what strategies it, and the province, could put into place to deal with the displaced tourism market, eg provide incentives for people to travel on holiday to provincial destinations not affected by the 2010 event.

KZNTGA Provincial Committee meeting

Good afternoon, fellow Guides.

Many thanks for the input that we received prior to the last KZNTGA Provincial Committee meeting. The two representatives of Ezemvelo/KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife (Mr Gladman Buthelezi and Mr Ian Porter) were especially appreciative of the questions that were submitted and felt they were so useful that instead of waiting for a Provincial Committee Meeting to take place, such queries / criticism / suggestions etc should be submitted to them whenever they are received. You are welcome to use my e-mail address as a conduit.

NEWS: These gigs were confirmed a month ago and it would have been nice to have sent the word out earlier but due to the calibre of the musicians and the accompanying high costs that come with presenting them we have been trying to secure some sponsorship so as to bring the ticket prices down a level that is affordable to all - particularly our regulars.
