Yes, summer in South Africa, winter is past us, not that by international standards this can be called winter, but I will no doubt hit the nail on the head when I say that most of those reading this will look back and agree that the last twelve months have been an uphill grind, it’s time for a holiday, whether your choice is Cape Town or Port Alfred; Poffadder or Plettenberg Bay, the time has come to cast your concerns aside and start planning. Let’s just get our minds right for a second, put everything into perspective. written by Alan Hawkins
Buzz words abound on this subject…service delivery…a service industry…service is our secret. Tourism and travel is about service, as the South African tourism industry looks forward to the 2010 Soccer World cup and hopefully toward fully booked Hotels and bed and Breakfasts, we need to strive and step forward to the plate, it is about service. written by Alan Hawkins
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. This fear can obviously be eliminated or at least made highly probably with careful and disciplined planning and preparation…so one would think. Travelling in South Africa is, as has been said before, one of the worlds best kept travel secrets. South Africa offers visitors great accommodation options to suit all tastes and also some extremely efficient and well known travel agents and accommodation portals. written by Alan Hawkins
It wasn’t that long ago that one rushed off to the library when planning one’s travels. In South Africa, where travel and tourism is an important but an unnaturally small industry when compared to the income generated elsewhere, the library or your trusted travel agent was the place to start. written by Alan Hawkins
From Bogotá to Bangladesh, tourists are becoming aware of South Africa, mainly because of the 2010 Soccer World Cup but whatever the reason, our famous names, Cape Town, Johannesburg, the Kruger national Park are all on everyone’s minds as they consider travel to our beautiful and sunny South Africa. written by Alan Hawkins
For most families the past year has been pretty hectic to say the least, with any thought of a holiday confined into a blurry background. The stress of a suboptimal economy and numerous escalating costs combining into a formidable frontal attack on us mere mortals from all directions, our energy and effort seems to have gone towards survival rather than recreation. written by Alan Hawkins
Do not be misled however, it’s not actually about 2010, a purple patch for the tourism and service industry during which time, all beds will be booked, Hotels humming and airports busy, the advantages should be leveraged into long term benefit. written by Car Guru
Consider a Holiday in a Place Less Travelled? written by Alan Hawkins
In the seventies and eighties in South Africa, strikes were a national pastime, more money please, less work please, fewer hours and more rights and benefits, some twenty years later, nothings changed, more money, less work, more benefits please. written by Alan Hawkins
In South Africa, we call it winter, the temperatures in the Eastern Cape drop to a daily average of around 26 degrees c, at night around 13 with the early mornings sometimes as low as perhaps seven degrees on occasions, a friend of mine who often holidays away from his London flat says to me “and you call this winter!”…. written by Alan Hawkins
Don’t you just wish that Nelson Mandela lived another ninety one years, don’t you just wish South Africa won the 2010 FIFA Soccer World cup, don’t you just wish that the millions of visitors on holiday in South Africa got comfortable beds, good service, found great accommodation in our Hotels and other accommodation establishments, and that Tom Watson had won the 2009 Open Championship written by Alan Hawkins
Living here is another story, on the surface it all looks great, deep down, at grassroots and foundation level the country, the new and wonderful home of the so called rainbow nation, the nation who helped create leaders who will go into the annuls of history, the great Nelson Mandela who we all respect and admire, O.R. Thambo, Steve Bhiko, a brave freedom fighter of an age long past, Chaka Zulu, king of the mighty Zulu tribe, Moshesh; Piet Retief; Adam Tas; Olive Schreiner; Christian Barnard, Helen Suzman, great leaders and statesmen of a different era who must either be turning in their graves or watching progress with disdain.

The South African soccer team, Bafana Bafana, came fourth in the recent FIFA confederation Cup. Now before you say, big deal and belittle the goalie’s efforts to stop one or two that he perhaps should have, up to the last four minutes of normal time, the South Africa team had prevented Spain, arguably the worlds best team from kicking one ball into our goals! That for this small soccer country is a formidable performance.

The press is wall to wall with coverage of the current soccer competition, our readiness to host and welcome those planning to visit our shores and travel around during the 2010 FIFA soccer world cup, seeking beds, beers, accommodation written by Alan Hawkins
So you have decided to rent out your home or your holiday home? Perhaps for accommodation during the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup or as holiday accommodation along the coast of South Africa when you’re not using it yourself, a great idea.

The decision to purchase a holiday home in South Africa for personal enjoyment and investment was covered extensively from a purely investment viewpoint in my last article written by Alan Hawkins
I am often asked by South African holiday home owners and those perhaps seeking to purchase a holiday house or apartment in South Africa, if this is firstly a good investment and secondly if they will be able to at least partially off set the costs by renting this to paying tenants or guests.

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
South Africa, a holiday in winter, you’ve got to be kidding. Are you aware that the 2010 soccer world cup, the largest sport event in the world will bring thousands of travel visitors to South Africa to watch this even slap bang in the middle of winter. written by Alan Hawkins
That was actually the easy part, the decision that is. Being an experienced business person and an “old soldier” who has spent many a night under the stars, dear Dad was fully aware that the more effort put into planning, the more enjoyable the experience would be for everyone.

South Africans always drink cold lager, normally out of a 2-4 deg. Fridge, even in the coldest of weather, unlike the European beer drinkers where the beers, except perhaps in summer, are normally served at room temperature. written by Alan Hawkins
Travellers beware, whether your holiday or travel plans include, South Africa, England or Egypt, the onus is on you to check and re-check all your plans, your air tickets, the dates and agreed rates, the whole lot.
