Little do we realise the value of the exposure that Port Elizabeth and Nelson Mandela Bay get from the HSBC Cell C Sevens World Series Round 3 that took place at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium from 7 to 8 December 2013.
My Google Alerts inbox is literally flooded with notifications pointing me to mentions of Port Elizabeth – be very conservative and times JUST these mentions below by R20 000 each – a rough and ready estimate of what each would cost if it was an advert and not an editorial mention. It is exposure such as this to brings people to stay in Port Elizabeth.
