As you may know, both our countries have a great deal to offer as tourist destinations. Many South Africans have experienced the beauty of the Ukraine - your cultural offerings, the magic of Odessa and the Crimea and the many other attractions in your country. It is equally heartening to hear that an increasing number of Ukrainians are travelling to South Africa to experience and enjoy the beauty and variety of our land. The breath taking attractions span across the entire Southern African region. The Mozambique, Swaziland and South African governments have structured a tourism package that allows our visitors to experience, during one visit, the diversity of three countries and three cultures.
Many people mistakenly believe that wild life is the only tourist attraction to be found in Africa.
South Africa is unique in that it offers the visitor a package that combines three worlds in one. For the adventurous, our outdoor activities are known world-wide. Last but not least, the peaceful co-existence of the different cultural groupings in our country, allow the visitor to experience Africa, Asia and Europe in one. This is a unique experience that bears testimony to the strength and success of our new democracy. Since the advent of democracy, six years ago, our reputation for successfully hosting international events is unparalleled.
