Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 by Nick

Johannesburg is ready to welcome tens of thousands of visitors with open arms for the 2010 World Cup.

Extensive works at OR Tambo International Airport and the Coca-Cola Park Arena have been completed in readiness for the 2010 Fifa World Cup. The Confederations Cup on the 14th June this year between Bafana and Iraq is being seen by many as a dress rehearsal that will test the enhanced facilities at both the airport and venue.

Interest in South Africa and Johannesburg as a holiday and business destination has grown in popularity over the last decade with passenger numbers increasing from over 12 million to over 17 million between 2002 and 2006.  Air traffic movements increased by over 25,000  in the same period from around 175, 000 to more than 200, 000.

To cope with the increased demand of recent years and predicted future growth, improvements at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport have included: the construction of a main central terminal building, refurbishment of existing services such as the airport lounges at Johannesburg, the development of the international pier, construction of a multi-storey car park, road infrastructure development and a link to the multi-billion Gautrain station, amongst others.

With the huge investments made at the airport, the Coca-Cola Park Arena and in local infrustructure, Johannesburg is ready to demonstrate its ability to host a major part of one of the world’s biggest sporting events.

Celebrity spotting in Tenerife

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 by Nick

Here’s a hot tip for all you intrepid travellers partial to a little celeb-spotting…….

A major Warner Bros picture ‘Clash of the Titans’ is scheduled to be filmed on location in Tenerife between 15th May and 3rd June. The main locations are the Teide National Park and along the coast in the districts of Icod, Buenavista del Norte and Guía de Isora.

So, if you were considering a last minute deal to Tenerife before the summer rush take our advice and book yourself a lounge at Tenerife Airport. Who knows – you could be relaxing with the paper and a nice cup of Joe when all of a sudden Ralph Fiennes taps you on the shoulder and asks “Is this seat taken?”. Cue a full scale debate with Mr Fiennes as to whether the remake will be better than the 1981 classic – or perhaps he’ll simply make polite conversation about the state of the world economy. Either way – we think it’s a great opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the beautiful people!

PS – Don’t forget your camera.
