"This is a first for the Park in all its years of existence," Moosa reported.
Tourism authorities also predicted that the number of visitors to the Park would increase to 1 040 000 by the end of the current financial year, which ends on March 31. That would represent an increase of 11,4% on the previous financial year.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of new tourism statistics showing significant growth in 2002, with more than 6,4-million tourists travelling to South Africa last year. This was a massive 20,1% up on the 1,8-million visitor arrivals in 2001.
