Hospitality & Tourism Industry Cape Town South Africa
The hospitality industry in Cape Town has experienced significant growth in recent years, and this upward trend is expected to continue in the near future, as despite a worldwide recession, as the citywide and country wide efforts to further development strengthen with the rising hopes surrounding the Soccer World Cup 2010.
As the world began to discover the true potential of South Africa, whether for business or leisure purposes, the number of visitors to the country increased. The most recent data indicate that South Africa as a single country surpassed the world and the whole African continent in terms of growth in international arrivals, posting healthy increases of about 14%in 2006 and 9% in the year-to-date period through October 2007 compared to the corresponding months of 2006. In addition, South Africa was ranked one of the top 25 tourist destinations in the world according to the 2006 data gathered by the World Tourism Organization.
The countries ranked in the Western Cape’s top three source markets are the United Kingdom, Germany, and somewhat surprisingly the United States. The United States has only in the recent period ranked in the top three due to the distance, time and cost associated with travelled to the tip of the African continent.
The increasingly strong presence of European and US travellers to the Western Cape Region is indicative of the potential growth in demand for internationally recognized branded hotels.
A significant number of new developments and infrastructural expansions are currently underway in the major cities of South Africa ahead of 2010.
Refurbishment of existing stadiums and building of new ones continues in South Africa, as well as upgrades to infrastructure such as airports. Meanwhile, many smaller enterprises, such as guesthouses and restaurants, are preparing to host the world.
“The hotel sector in South Africa is first-rate,” the Fifa inspection team said in its country report. “There are enough hotel rooms to accommodate everyone taking part in the 2010 Fifa World Cup, including media representatives and fans from around the world, both in the main towns … and in the other towns suggested as 2010 Fifa World Cup venues.”
With world class restaurants, hotels and wine farms and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, South Africans are right to be upbeat about this event and their hospitality offering in general.

I am planning on opening a restaurant in Dallas, Texas in 2009. I’m curious to know if there are any tax advantages for me placing the business in my wife’s name, rather than mine, as she is a European immigrant. If so, what are they? And how does one go about securing it? Seems I’ve always heard, if you’re a foreigner and a female, you have a better chance of tax benefits.
I’m female, an immigrant and a business owner — and I am subject to the same business tax laws as everyone else. IRS has no separate tax code for women and immigrants.

Most people dream of traveling aboard for holidays, but only a few manage to realize these dreams. A large majority of people never get to travel abroad and see new sights because of the huge expense involved in foreign travel. If you are one of those people who want to travel and see the world, but are restricted by budgetary considerations, then buying a guided tour package can prove to be your salvation.
Vacation tour operators manage to get airline, train and accommodation bookings with huge discounts because they book in bulk. Therefore, their cost per person for the same kind of travel, accommodation and food arrangements comes out to be much cheaper than what the same thing would cost you if you went all by yourself. In fact, vacation tour operators also manage to get discounts on passes and tickets to major tourist attractions, which are quite costly to start with. Therefore, booking a guided tour package can prove to be extremely cost effective for you and you can end up saving a lot of money for the same kind of holiday that you would find hard to afford on an individual budget.
Apart from helping you save money, another major advantage of vacation travel packages is that your journey and its arrangements become hassle free. You do not have to be bothered with booking tickets and accommodation or arrange for visas and transportation. Your vacation package company will plan your travel down to the last detail, so that all you will need to do is “relax and enjoy”. You do not need to spend countless precious hours arranging your vacation, which is a great add-on for people with busy work schedules.
In fact, even booking a vacation travel package is extremely easy. You can log on to a reputed site on the internet and book with a good vacation travel operator. Check all deals and you might end up landing a European tour or a Far East vacation at unbelievably low rates.
