On June 11, South Africa will kick off an event that will create world tourism history. This would also be the world cup for emerging continents and every opportunity will be taken to bridge Asia and Africa through its matches.
A total of 64 matches will be played at 10 stadiums and in 9 host cities. New airports and new facilities have been built to cater for an influx of tourists beyond imagination. It is estimated that there will be a direct spending of R 12.7 billion and South Africa expects their tourism industry to be second to none.
We are happy for South Africa and wish them every success. But here in Malaysia we are sad that this event has prompted the government to issue the most controversial gambling licence to an individual who will be making tons of money.
