One of the tourism industry’s fastest-growing subsectors is sports tourism. A large part of South Africa’s spectacular rise in tourism in 1994 can be credited to the country’s hosting of various prestigious sporting events. In order to achieve the goals of the Reconstruction and Development Program (RDP), which aims to improve South African society on both an economic and social level, the government established South Africa Sports Tourism (SAST).

The 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa was a huge success, and since then, the country has gradually given up on hosting any significant international sporting events. The expansion of the sports tourism industry in South Africa now largely depends on the advertising of sporting events.

Even if it might not seem like it, recent technological advancements have unquestionably had an impact on the South African sports tourism business. Thanks to the opportunity to buy sports tickets online through numerous applications and websites, people today have access to resources that were not accessible ten years ago.

People are also more aware of when and where the games and competitions may take place in advance, allowing them to better plan for the cost and time required to attend the events boosting the South Africa sports tourism adoption trends.
