Travel Agency, The Travel Middle Man The travel needs of the travelling people of this world, both leisure and business,have been put into question by themselves and by the public at large.My feelings are that the travelling public feels generally that they can get a better "deal" by booking the travel themselves on the internet, please read cheaper, than they can by booking their holiday through a travel agency or they will pay more booking through a travel agent.

Rio de Janeiro in Brazil however is still the predominant finish line.January 2011 saw the start of the 13thSouth Atlantic yacht race although if you ask any Cape Town resident with sea water in their veins they will tell you that it was the start of the 13th "Cape to Rio." The first race was inspired by South African Bruce Dailing's victory in 1968 of the single handed trans- Atlantic race. This proved a huge boost for sailing in South Africa and the Springbok Racing Ocean Trust in conjunction with Clube Rio de Janeiro organised the first South Atlantic race. In 1971 59 yachts gathered up on the start line for the first race to Rio.The race took place every three years after that until 1985 international pressure and economic sanctions pushed South Africa completely off the world sporting map.
