Timely Launch of Comprehensive Travel Directory on South Africa by Travelindex.com

Jan. 31, 2010 - PRLog -- Geneva, Switzerland -- (TRAVELCOMMUNICATION.NET) -- Travelindex.com (www.travelindex.com) launches and announced today the release of its comprehensive travel and tourism directory on South Africa. With over 40,000 listings from South Africa, Travelindex.com provides a unique source of contacts and information for all officials, supporters, spectators and tourists planning to discover the world’s most amazing destination during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, the premier international football tournament. It is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa. This will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by an African nation. Italy are the defending champions.

The 2010 Fifa World Cup is an opportunity for the world to see and experience Africa in a different way, President Jacob Zuma told delegates attending the 2010 World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

"It is an opportunity to tackle stereotypes and preconceptions about the continent, and explore new frontiers of interaction and cooperation. It is an important milestone in the regeneration of the continent."

Zuma said the South African government and its partners had been working hard to ensure that the event was a success. South Africa was ready for business and for football fans from around the globe, he said.

"Other than the football games that South Africans will be privileged to be part of, the country's potential as a destination for business, trade and tourism will be on display during the World Cup tournament."
