World Cup Draw To Set Off a Frenzy of Travel Package Purchases

WINNIPEG , Dec. 2 /CNW/ - When the World Cup final draw is announced on Friday, December 4th , the tournament Round Robin schedule will be set, and football fans worldwide will be buying up travel packages to ensure they see their team live in South Africa .

Travel companies worldwide are preparing for many extremely busy days following the draw. One of those, sports travel specialists Roadtrips, is encouraging fans to book their World Cup Follow Your Team travel packages immediately, since hotel rooms and plane tickets are already becoming limited.

"There is no time like the present to book your World Cup travel packages if you want to see your team play," says Dave Guenther , President of Roadtrips. "With hundreds of thousands of football fans around the globe waiting for the final draw announcement before making their travel plans, getting a head start now is definitely the way to go."

Roadtrips prepared for the World Cup for several years in advance by acquiring top quality accommodations at some of Johannesburg and Cape Town's finest hotels, including the award winning Saxon Boutique Hotel and Spa in Johannesburg and The Cape Grace in Cape Town . That forethought is now paying dividends for Roadtrips' clients, as huge demand for premium hotel space has provided a rare opportunity for fans looking for hard to find rooms.
