Ten travel websites with FIFA World Cup 2010 fever

December 4, 2009 By 6 Comments

No sooner had world football governing body FIFA announced the draw today for the finals in South Africa in June 2010, travel websites around the globe were quick to offer fans a variety deals to watch their favourite team.

The four-week extravaganza is probably one of the biggest attractions in world sport – some say more popular than the Olympics – and an obvious tournament for travel firms to focus on with advice, bundle deals, flights and hotels for the ten venues in the RSA.

With tickets going on sale tomorrow (Saturday 5 December), travel companies will be jostling for position as the best providers of packages and deals.

Ten sites off the mark include:

Go2Africa.com
