Durban in South Africa has just shown the world that it is capable of hosting a major world sports event, by its exceptional hosting of the football World Cup. Fans were welcomed into this great city by the sea and basked in the fantastic winter sunshine and temperatures averaging 25 degrees Celsius, making sipping cocktails on the beach in bright sunshine in the middle of winter a reality!
With the fantastic infrastructure of new stadia already in place, the centrepiece of which is Moses Mabhida Stadium with its distinctive and impressive arch, Durban would be the perfect choice for the Olympics of 2020. There is an abundance of fantastic Durban hotels on the beach and along the Dolphin Coast, as well as a huge choice of Bed and breakfasts and hostels that have sprung up in preparation of the World Cup. The altitude and temperature of Durban in June / July also adds to the appeal of hosting the Summer Olympics in 2020.
As an added bonus to Durban, and sure to boost the city's Olympic bid, the International Olympic Committee have selected Durban as the host city for their 2011 conference, which will surely provide all the first hand evidence they need to prove that the world class city of Durban can host the Olympic Games in 2020.
As well as the huge choice of Durban hotels and attractions, the sheer beauty of the seaside city has delighted those that have just been hosted at the World Cup, and the surrounding areas offer a huge variety of day trips to the famous game reserve of Hluhluwe Umfolozi, which is home to the Big Five. To the west is the impressive Drakensberg mountain range and the Valley of a Thousand Hills and Shakaland Zulu Cultural Village are all within easy day drives from you Durban beach hotel!
