Tented village to hold corporate hospitality for South Africa World Cup

Tented village to host corporate hospitality at the World Cup

David Quainton, 02 December 2009

Firms wanting to experience corporate hospitality at the World Cup in South Africa next year may be able to opt for tented accommodation.

The break from traditional corporate hospitality will see Mango Events Management create a 60-tent village, an hour from Johannesburg, which will offer spaces to eat, sleep and discuss business.

The venue will also be policed by on-site security.

Group and quarter final matches being played between 10 June and 4 July in the stadia of Johannesburg (Ellis Park and Soccer City), Pretoria and Rustenburg will all be in reach of the camp.

The offer to stay in a tent will come as a surprise to those who had brought up security issues regarding South Africa hosting the huge international event.

Included in the three-night package is match hospitality, all meals at the camp or in local restaurants, branded merchandise and bespoke excursion activities, including a safari and a Soweto visit.
