WSDE Sport Tourism Expo 2010

World Sport Destination Expo will for the very first time showcase the $600 billion a year sport tourism industry at the heart of one of the biggest and most important events that the world will ever stage.

Co-located alongside the final week of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, the landmark 5 day exhibition and conference programme will showcase to the most rapidly growing sector in the global travel and tourism industry. At a time when some traditional tourism trends are in decline, sport tourism continues to flourish and is set to grow exponentially in the next decade.

The world’s most sought after sporting destinations, bidding nations and cities, resorts and hotels, sporting bid committees, tour and event organisers, international media and elite buyers will for the very first time convene to conduct future business, source new contacts and markets and gain invaluable insights from the advanced knowledge of industry leaders and figure-heads.

50,000 visitors are expected to attend this ground-breaking event, as the sport tourism industry congregates in Johannesburg ahead of the final match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Participation in World Sport Destination Expo is critical to those companies involved in the sport tourism market-place, and those serious in assuming a market share of the industry’s fastest growing and most dynamic sector.
