IN what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest tourist booms South Africa has ever seen, 2010 looks set to bring many more opportunities to service providers throughout the hospitality industry.

SECTORS of the oil, gas, petrochemical and related industries are set to converge on the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) between 16 and 18 March this year, when Oil & Gas Africa 2010 takes place daily between 10h00 and 18h00.

Although everyone is excited about the 2010 World Cup, it will have an unusual effect on the exhibition industry, not necessarily all of it good.

A milestone event for South Africa’s hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup takes place in Cape Town on December 4 and the City of Cape Town is pulling out all stops to demonstrate its readiness to welcome thousands of soccer fans and dignitaries.
