The site received much criticism for ""highlighting negative news and ignoring successes in the fight against crime"". In particular, criticism came from the tourism sector for ""skewing the truth"", as well as the South African Football Association for ""counteracting job creation by discouraging tourism and investment"" (South Africa hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup). The Crime Expo site contended that South African tourism agencies were only interested in the money spent by international tourists, not in their safety, and were thus downplaying publicity on the violent crimes committed in the country.
