Japanese Media Teams

More the 180 media members will stay in George during the Soccer World Cup. If we as George but not just as George as the Garden Route impress them they will come back to South Africa but be assure that they will stop over in the Garden Route. Japanese people don't fall easily for marketing and advertisements but articles by their own press implicitly. We (George) and the Garden Route must go out of our ways to make the Japanese feel welcome we must treat them with the respect they deserve and we must remember that the media wont just write about soccer.
