The 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa begins on June 11 and will run through to July 11. Corporate travellers intending to fly on the South African route during this time should book their business travel flights as soon as possible,
with seats already limited due to the large volume of leisure travel taking place during this period.
Major global sporting events such as the World Cup draw enormous crowds from all over the world. Matches will be held at 10 stadiums across the country, including Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Polokwane (Pietersburg).
BCD Travel recommends that corporate travellers delay business travel trips to and within South Africa during the World Cup.
