The electronic ticket kiosk offered me an aisle seat upgrade for $42.00 (USD), a full two inches of additional leg room for $64.00 (USD), or something called economy plus for over $200.00 (USD). I declined each of the upgrade offers and was told by the machine that because I had not accepted an upgrade I would not be assigned a seat until immediately prior to departure. The machine then spit out a card which I assumed was a traditional boarding pass. I handed the card to the security ticket checker and she marked it as approved and then sent me to the final security check point where I removed by shoes, removed my lap top computer, and smiled as a walked through the metal detector. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) official asked for my card and I dutifully presented it. At that point he shouted “halt, do not go any further, and freeze.” He then escorted me to a side room and asked for my boarding card. I told him that this was the only card that I received. Obviously I was concerned and explained that the ticket machine had dispensed this card. Next, he escorted me to the airline ticket counter and an argument ensued between TSA and the airline officials. It appears that this airline is the only one that uses Passenger Departure Cards in lieu of boarding passes. Finally, I was given a boarding pass and escorted to the departure gate where the gate agent exchanged the boarding pass for an actual seat assignment card. My seat? A middle seat between two rather large fellow travellers. Neither they nor I was comfortable for the seven hour non stop flight. And did I mention that there was no meal service on this flight? You could, however, purchase a small snack (peanut butter and crackers, cookies, and gum drops) for $5.00 (USD). In the post September 11, 2001 world, as we mark the fifth anniversary of this terrible tragedy, perhaps we should contemplate how we can better plan and deliver safer, more secure, and easier event experiences for our guests? Studies have shown, that in fact, local and regional drive to events, are becoming increasingly popular due to the challenges and unreliability of airline travel. In my opinion, there are four critical touch points that each guest experiences when travelling to and from your event. First, the guest receives the offer, advertisement, or invitation from your organization to attend your event. The offer or invitation should include essential information (date, time, location) but in the post September 11 perhaps the same opportunity could infer that you subscribe to professional principles that promote safety and security. Second, the guest travels to your event. As described earlier, the” travel to” part of the event process is becoming more and more problematic. Therefore, Perhaps event organizers could provide additional information for guests including better directions, options for use of public transportation where possible, and even include on line resources such as travel forms, visa requirements, and passport application information. Third, during the event arrival experience itself, due to changing demographics, the traditional long walk from the parking area to the front gate may be a deterrent to some older guests. Providing ground shuttles or even valet parking (paid by the guest or provided complimentary or through sponsorship by the organizer) would be welcome additions to many guests and may even increase attendance. In my experience, when free parking, valet parking, or easy drop off/pick up of guests is provided, attendance increases. Finally, the travel from or travel home experience is for most guests the final enduring memory. Therefore, providing an efficient egress for your guests through expedient valet parking systems, ease 1 of personal vehicle retrieval or access to public transportation will help insure a positive memory for your departing guests. The event industry is becoming more and more competitive as organizers must compete with mass entertainment such as video games, DVD movies, and other alternatives to attending live events. Therefore, it is increasingly important that every event organizer focus upon the four critical touch points for their guests. These high touch experiences must be clearly defined, seamlessly executed, and excellently delivered. In summary, we must exceed the expectations of our guests by providing dependable and delightful service time after time. We must set new benchmarks for service through better communication and a greater understanding and anticipation of our guests needs. When we do this, we will simultaneously grow the global events industry by offering an alternative to the challenging travel experiences most have come to expect and dread in the post September 11 world.

Joe is an author and editor of over 20 Event Management books. 2 Editorial The issue of the World Journal of Managing Events (WJME) presents six original papers concerning an interesting theme focusing on 2010 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by South Africa. The papers focus on topics that are relevant to managing this mega sports event from various angles such as economic, social, governmental as well as a tourism event. In his article "The 2010 FIFA World Cup and Immigration", Graham Burton Joseph argues that the 2010 FIFA tournament provides a litmus test for the immigration capacity of South Africa. The application of effective management systems could ensure that development related objectives are met and potential threats are averted. In the article "Local Governments must score for their Communities", Reuben Baatjies, Coel Kirby argue that community participation and local economic development, the basic values of local government in South Africa, must inform the planning of development initiatives for, and incidental to, the event in 2010. While a successful World Cup will undoubtedly shine a light on South Africa, as well as stoke economic growth, municipalities will only be truly successful if they can translate this brief glory into an enduring legacy for its most deprived citizens. In the article "From Madiba Magic to Media Magic: South Africa’s Media Strategy and the 2010 FIFA World Cup", Gerrie Swart in this paper assesses South Africa’s media strategy in the run-up to the staging of the event. Team South Africa is playing with a formidable line-up, consisting of the LOC, the South African government and major corporations sponsoring the event.

    SPORT & RECREATION 257 Pocket Guide to South Africa 2011/12 SPORT & RECREATION Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) is the national department responsible for sport in South Africa. Aligned with its vision of An Active and Winning Nation, its primary focuses are on providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; managing the regulatory framework; and providing funding for different codes of sport. The SRSA has a number of flagship programmes through which it implements its objectives. These programmes touch the lives of millions of South Africans, from schoolchildren participating in school sport, communities sharing in the benefits of mass participation pro- grammes and events, and organisations benefiting from the SRSA’s financial and logistical support. Initiatives Golden Games The 2011 Golden Games, part of the SRSA’s Older Persons Programme, were held in the Free State in October 2011 with the theme Celebrating Active Ageing. The Golden Games is a national event where persons older than 65 compete in various sporting codes at provincial level. Codes that form part of the Golden Games include soccer, athletics (800 m and 4x100-m relay), brisk walk, duck walk, passing the ball, rugbyball throw, jukskei and goal shooting. The Western Cape was crowned the 2011 Golden Games champion. All-Africa Games The 10th All-Africa Games took place in September 2011 in Maputo, Mozambique, and featured 20 sporting disciplines in which 53 countries participated. Events for people with disabilities also featured in swimming and athletics. Team South Africa finished first on the medals table, with 62 gold medals, 55 silver and 40 bronze, totalling 157 medals.

Yet, a pre-season tournament in 2008 featuring the two glamour soccer clubs of South Africa, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, and the global brand of Manchester United, revealed a racially fractured soccer fandom that contradicted these notions of national unity through soccer.

  • Introduction
    Introduction CHAPTER The Municipal Systems Act (MSA), Act 32 of 2000, requires municipalities to review their IDPs in order to assess their performance and changing circumstances. The Act also requires a review of the strategic development plans to assess whether these plans are aligned to the needs of stakeholders. The Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is one of the key tools assisting local government in discharging its developmental mandate. The IDP further assists municipalities in decision-making, resource allocation, to redress spatial imbalances, land management, the promotion of local economic development and institutional transformation. The City of Johannesburg undertook the 2009/10 IDP review in a consultative, systematic and strategic manner as per legislative direction. The City’s IDP forms part of a suite of strategic planning instruments to guide development and service delivery. The Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) provides the vision and long-term strategic perspective for the City, while the IDP sets out the strategic plan for the medium-term. The same timelines as the electoral terms are followed and this specific five-year IDP refers to the 2006 to 2011 period. Departments and Municipal Entities (MEs) are required to complete detailed annual business plans that give operational expression to the IDP. The Municipal Systems Act prescribes the development and approval processes of the IDP. The full Municipal Council must approve the IDP, which means it may not be delegated. The approved IDP has legal status in the context of Council business. The IDP process is the key mechanism for ensuring vertical and horizontal alignment. It strives to achieve vertical integration between the municipality and other spheres of government and works towards horizontal integration with neighbouring municipalities.
