There's already loads of tourism in South Africa!! That's one of it's major industries! There's a lot of money in South Africa as far a so calkled third World country goes, though of course the poverty gap there is massive. And so this money goes to the increasingly rich people, and very little goes to those who need it the most. I can'#t remember what my first impressions had been before I'd visited. But yes I'm sure it will have partially been that the people are poor and that AIDs is prevalent - because that's true!! Not as a negative thing to the country or its people, but of course it's true that there is a hell of a lot of AIDs there and it doesn't help when its leaders start either denying it exists or denying that it evolves from HIV.

When I think of South Africa I think of safaris and how it would be an interesting place to visit. If the 2010 Soccer World Cup was held in South Africa it might bring a bit more tourism to the area and with it more money.
