A deal between Tottenham Hotspur FC and the South African Department of Tourism has been cancelled due to financial concerns. The deal would have seen the Premier League team helping to market South Africa in combination with SA Tourism at a cost of $56 million. The cancellation comes after criticism over the high cost of the deal. Instead, the Tourism Minister has said that other avenues will be explored to promote South Africa as a tourist destination. The Minister has offered to work with SA Tourism and the Department to explore the most cost-effective options to achieve their goal of increasing visitor numbers to the country as well as increasing the sector’s contribution to the economy.
