The V&A Waterfront in Cape Town is preparing for the equivalent of a New Year's Day every day during the 2010 World Cup soccer tournament.
About 100 000 visitors a day are expected for the duration of the tournament during June and July, said David Green, chief executive of the V&A Waterfront, on Monday. This is equal to the usual number of people visiting the Waterfront on New Year's Day.
The main focus will be on providing good service, and staff are already undergoing training. "There is no point in having the facilities but offering poor service," Green noted.
The safety of visitors is also of prime importance. About 350 security officers and more than 1 200 closed-circuit television cameras are currently deployed, but these will be increased.
A new senior management team for safety services has been appointed, an elite team and an armoured response team are on the ground, and 100 to 150 additional security officers will be appointed.
