You’ve seen the news, read the Sunday times and it would appear we can look forward to some reduced mobile phone call rates in South Africa. About time, we need to understand the international visitor to South Africa, the holiday maker who has travelled from Europe on a long haul flight, does not want to pay more for accommodation, a beer, a pizza and last of all, for calls from his mobile phone. written by Alan Hawkins
Arriving at one’s destination to find it not available is probably one of every traveller’s fears.

South Africa, host country to the 2010 soccer world cup. Football, soccer, accommodation, full hotels, crowded roads, no hotel beds, chaos, visitors, tourism, what does this all mean to South Africa. written by Alan Hawkins
