The Gay Frontier
The last five years have added a list of popular destinations to the gay travel map. Countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Thailand have expanded the the realm of gay tourism far beyond the old paradigm of sexual tourism and sunny enclaves. These countries have become popular for their winning combination of gay- friendly atmosphere and inherent travel interest. The "New South Africa" is the latest addition to our travel map, and it is prdicted that it will quickly become one of the most important destinations for international gay travel.

The New Constitution
The abolition of Apartheid and the institution of free elections were world-lauded changes in South Africa. With the political changes came a new constitution which made South Africa the first country in the world to constitutionally prohibit discrimination based on sexual orentation.

With this new freedom and new protection, South Africa's low-key gay population is poised to emerge with world-class vivacity. That combined with the country's natural tourist appeal will make South Africa a premier gay destination by the turn of the century.

Land of Many Delights
South Africa is a diverse country that straddles the southern end of the continent. It features stunning white sand beaches caressed by two oceans, a variety of wildlife unparalled in the world, large, sophisticated and cosmopolitan cities, a ranking wine country, and a proud population determined to make the new constitution successful.

South Africa, situated on the opposite side of the globe is blessed by nature, it offers spectacular scenery and agreeable weather all year round. A well developed communications and transportation infrastructure makes travel easy and safe.

Favorable exchange rate for the South African Rand ($1 US = R4.5) make it affordable for travellers of all budgets.
