It will generate more publicity and more advertising dollars than any single event in the Olympics, but it's just running so often. The atmosphere at the World Cup is always absolutely electrifying! Unfortunately football is not for the calm and rationality of certain segments of the fan base known. This year is the host nationSouth Africa, and during the FIFA World Cup Committee is certainly the hope, the violence-troubled nation can guarantee to overcome its reputation for a fun, non-controversial World Cup there are none. If you are traveling South Africa to the FIFA World Cup forward, we are on some of the questions you'll face, and the recommended level of travel insurance for the event.
Around the 2010 FIFA World Cup
TheSouth Africa World Cup to be held this year, from June 11 to July 11. The qualifying rounds are still in progress, so there is little evidence that nations will be in the final game - but which country in the end it does not, the fans will be very emotional!
Potential safety problems
The media have reported that the possibility of the games is used to draw attention to social issues such as AIDS and prostitution in South Africa. It is alsogiven that the international profile of the World Cup it could be a terrorist or anarchist goal. It appears the incident, various interest groups want to piggyback off the World Cup and in particular attention for their cause, which means that the games probably are not complete without. Travel insurance should be considered a necessity as much as a ticket if you are planning to visit.
Potential LogisticsIssues
While not a visa for South Africa for less than 90 days need to apply if you have an Australian passport, the expiration date of the passport will not be less than 30 days later than the expected end date of stay. Check the cover on your passport expiration - your travel insurance is not that kind of logistical problem.
There will also be Durban huge demand on accommodation in the nine host cities of the World Cup games - Cape Town,Johannesburg, Bloemfontein, Pretoria, Rustenburg, Port Elizabeth, Nelspruit and Polokwanr. Book your accommodation early - but make sure that your travel insurance covers you for the accommodation problems outside your control. The high demand could be expensive things.
Recommended level of travel insurance
South Africa is one of the most troubled countries in the world in relation to the crime. In thinking about the level of travel insurance you need, we would recommendthat:
You will receive full medical insurance. South Africa is not fully developed nation, and has several diseases, which are very rare in Australia
Logistical travel insurance is recommended because of potential difficulties in securing accommodation at a reasonable price, there is a problem with your existing bookings.
We also recommend the highest level of travel insurance benefits including the abduction, assault, benefit covering disaster and search andRecovery benefit. Unfortunately, kidnappings and robberies are common in South Africa.
