Business destination takes on tourism in a big way!

Whenever we think of Johannesburg, we think of a bustling business hub, the economic heartbeat of South Africa, not a holiday destination of choice except perhaps if you have family there.

Nevertheless, Johannesburg does have a great deal of interesting cultural, historical and sportinh attractions and a wealth of accommodation options (whether you long to wake up in the "veld" with natural wildlife sounds or in the lap of luxury in a 5-star hotel!), and the city is inviting you to explore its tourism potential. 

Part of the mydestinationinfo.com network, http://johannesburg.mydestinationinfo.com is a great resource for information on things to do in and around Johannesburg, tours of major attractions such as Soweto, museums and heritage sites, the Magaliesberg and the Cradle of Humankind. It also includes comprehensive maps, suggestions and highlights in every conceivable category of activity (from eco-walks to a night at the theatre). The site is currently being expanded to include particular destination routes - trips to entrall and delight whether you are staying for a day, a weekend or a week. It also covers a wealth of lesser known destinations in Johannesburg and surrounds.

With the upcoming long-weekends, perhaps it is time you do something unexpected and take the family to discover a new side of Johannesburg.
