The implications are illustrated through three examples. The first is the legal-poli…

Profiles of tourists participating in shark cage diving in Gansbaai, South Africa
Coastal and marine tourism is a sector that draws visitors from around the globe to South Africa. This is largely because of an array of marine wildlife resources found in the country. Despite this strong pull factor, there is limited information on the economic value of the marine environment. This article focuses on establishing the profiles of visitors taking part in shark cage diving in Gansbaai. Such profiling will facilitate the understandi…

Africa's Tournament'? The Branding Legacy of the 2010 Fifa World CupTM
In 2010, South Africa became the first country on the African continent to host the FIFA World Cup. Crucially the hosting of such a prestigious tournament was seen as a chance to prove that this developing nation could host an event of this magnitude as efficiently as the developed economies who had hosted the previous editions of the event, such as Germany in 2006 and Korea and Japan in 2002. Significantly though, this flagship event was also pr…
The Media Impact of South Africa's Historical Hosting of Africa's First Mega-Event
The 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa was the biggest mega-event ever to be hosted on the African continent. This historical event had several social, economic and developmental imperatives, including destination profiling and changing negative perceptions of South Africa, specifically, and the African continent more generally. This research undertakes a media analysis of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in selected key markets, namely the UK, Germ…
The 2010 Fifa World Cup and women's experiences In Fan Parks
The existing body of research on mega-events has so far focused on wider economic impacts, with little attention being given to the social impacts of large sporting events on visitors and local residents. Specifically gender issues are neglected in relation to the FIFA World Cups since it is often assumed that these events are male dominant, both in terms of participants and spectators. However, Manzenreiter and Home (2002) indicate the growing i…
Bread or circuses? The 2010 World Cup and South Africa's quest for marketing power
Marketing power relates to the kind of two-level games in which state elites are engaged. Internally marketing power refers to attempts by state elites to shore up political legitimacy, reinforce a sense of national identity and placate those constituencies adversely affected by the growing internationalisation of domestic issue areas. Initiatives such as hosting or sometimes even just bidding for a major sporting event help create a symbolic foc…

The 2010 Football World Cup as a Political Construct
The seductive discourse of development
Research on how the decision to bid for the Olympics is made, the resources and processes involved in the bidding process and how a country responds to a failed bid is important. These aspects are embedded in a range of political and economic processes from the local to the global level. The Olympic Games is the ultimate mega-event. This article uses the case study of the Cape Town 2004 Olympic Bid (CTOB) to examine the above aspects, highlightin…
