Abstract
M.Comm.
South Africa’s rich historical sporting background, its cultural attractions and political history make it one of the most attractive tourism attractions nationally and internationally. Demographically, South Africa is an adrenalin sport participant’s dream. Big facilities such as the Standard Bank Arena, Johannerburg Stadium and Mandeville Sport Arena are suited to host international sport tourists. To ensure that sport tourism develop in South Africa, it must be developed as a niche market.
To describe the characteristics of tourism as well as sport and leisure tourism, it is necessary to identify and discuss traditional and commercial sport in Gauteng. This information could be used to make recommendations for the development of a sport tourism map and to introduce it to tourists in a form of a brochure.
