Tourism
Tourism plays an important role in sustaining the economy of a country. Almost every country has some or other tourist attraction, whether it is the well known Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga (South Africa), the islands of Mauritius and Madagascar or the Croatian Coast line.
Hundreds of thousands of tourists visit different destinations every year and it seems that the tourist industry is growing each and every year.
South Africa is looking forward to 2013 in its contribution to probably one of its biggest tourism years to date.
