The country hosting the World Cup is getting many benefits just by hosting it; the World Cup helps the country not only while the World Cup is happening but long after too. The tourism in the country during the year of the World Cup is a tremendous number! “An analysis of the latest foreign tourist arrival statistics shows that about 400,000 tourists visited South Africa during the FIFA World Cup held earlier this year. Total overseas visitors could easily be around the 270 000 mark, with a possible 130 000 African visitors to SA for the event." (SA a World Cup goldmine) The World Cup being in South Africa it will draw attention to the country. By holding the World Cup it will change the people’s perspective of the country because they did not really pay any attention to it before. This causes a ton more tourism years after the World Cup too.
