Commenting on the upcoming module of learn South Africa,  Haneli Slabber, Country Manager, South African Tourism said; “Based on our research, we noticed that behavior of Indian traveler is changing, they look for more experience based and memorable holidays than simple itineraries. Keeping this in mind, South African Tourism is investing a lot of time in educating the trade partners on how they can maximize from the offering available.”

South Africa is the 25th-largest country in the world by land area, and with close to 53 million people, is the world’s 24th-most populous nation. Through the learning module, travel agents will be shown the multi-ethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. “There is a lot of things to know about this enchanting paradise on Earth.

Through our teaching modules, we want to create a buzz about this country and all that it offers — a chance to get closer to 1000 dolphins dancing with the waves, witness a southern right whale majestically breaching with her calf just meters away from you and watch hundreds of baby loggerhead and leatherback turtles hatch whilst on a moonlight adventure,” Slabber tells you. South Africa’s coastline is much more than where two oceans meet and natural wonder overflows.

Slabber wants to make people aware through travel agents that it’s a place where the folklore of fishing communities is as enchanting today as it was when the areas were first inhabited and where you can dine Al- fresco on pristine beaches that offer true timeless beauty.
