Viking Bay Resort

THE VIKING BAY RESORT COMPLEX is uniquely situated on the shores of the Vaal Dam, which has been long recognized for its tourism potential. This large inland lake in excess of 380 square kilometres, within 45 minutes driving time from downtown Johannesburg, has the very real potential of attracting both local and international tourists to the extensive attractions which the developers envisage.

THE VIKING BAY RESORT COMPLEX as a result of it’s size, over 3000 hectares, and its proximity to the most densely populated area in South Africa, some 10 million residents, will form a viable, sustainable and lucrative asset for both the developers and investors.

Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in South Africa and the country is fast becoming a sought after tourist destination. It is recorded that International tourist arrivals showed a 15,7 % increase for the May-to-June 2002 period making it the best performing tourist destination in the world.

The tourist industry is muted to be the single most effective growth area in South Africa, and the growth of tourism is likely to outstrip our mineral industry within the next decade. To be truly effective in “The Greater Johannesburg Area”, tourism will be reliant on the exploitation of the provinces limited natural and scenic locations, such as that offered by THE VIKING BAY RESORT COMPLEX.

The Vaal Dam has the largest inland water surface area in South Africa. The dam has numerous coves and bays which would take literally weeks to explore, providing excellent boating and yachting appeal for both local and international tourists.

The “Greater Johannesburg Area” as a whole will without doubt benefit significantly from the consequent revenues generated, the growth service sectors and the significant job opportunities facilitated by the tourism generated by THE VIKING BAY RESORT COMPLEX.
