South Africa's decision to host the World Cup appears to have resulted in a surge in tourism.
Figures show that there was a 22.3 per cent increase in visitor numbers in March 2010 compared to the March 2009; overall the number of tourists rose from 493,559 to 603,479.
There was a 5.5 per cent rise in Brits taking flights to South Africa, while the build-up to the football event was highlighted as a likely reason for the 24.2 per cent rise in German visitors and the 12.4 per cent increase in travellers from Holland.
