    Those plans took a major step forward this week, with the appointment of Sporting Destinations as official Tour Operator for UK and Irish teams intending to travel to the Carnival which will be staged in Christchurch, New Zealand from September 14 –20, 2008. Carnival organisers anticipate over 80 teams flocking to Christchurch from all over the world. The 2006 World Carnival in Buenos Aires in 2006 attracted 52 teams from 13 countries and over 1300 visitors.
