South Africa has set its sights on doubling the number of foreign tourists to 15-million per year.
Tourism Minister Marthinus van Schalkwyk says this will be done by targeting markets unlocked by the 2010 Fifa World Cup. New markets extend across Africa, Asia and South America.
Government believes the growth will create almost a quarter-of-a-million new jobs by 2020.
