Tourism Ireland
is top o’ the world
Tourism Ireland is flying without
wings today after being crowned
overall champs in last night’s World
Routes Marketing Awards. The Gala Dinner
Networking Event, hosted by Durban
KwaZulu-Natal, was held at the city’s Moses
Mabhida Stadium – apparently famous for
its “Arch of Triumph” – but not as famous as
anna.aero’s weekly Fire Truck Water Arch
competition of course! The feat of engineer-
ing, that provides Durban with a defining
landmark, was the backdrop for a perfor-
mance from Bothlale Boikanyo, the
14-year-old winner of the South African
Music Awards Best Traditional Album.
