Abstract

The present paper discusses theoretically the sociology of mega-events and event management, as well as the regulation of rivalry and violence in the sporting event. With a focus on the South Africa 2010 World Cup, we discuss critically the importance of festivals and mega-events in the configuration of societal ethos. Tourism, far from what the literature suggests, is more than an economic-centered activity; rather it is the touchstone of society.
