At the G8 Business Summit on Africa in London in June 2005, Dr. Danisa Baloyi, Deputy Chairperson of the Board at South African Tourism, told delegates that the country had now become a premier global destination.
This is good news for hospitality establishments and tourist destinations across the country, but only if their information is available to these tourists.
www.accommodate.co.za is an online travel directory that showcases tourism products in all South African towns and townships, offering an online presence and a platform to reach local and international tourists, who enjoy easy navigation and one-stop access to tour operators, restaurants, accommodation establishments from 5-star game lodges to the township experience, or a taste of rural life.
The site was launched in 2003 as a purely township-focused tourism portal but has been repositioned as a South African online travel directory, with a new logo and an even easier-to-use format. Latest industry news is published daily, and there is a searchable archive.
Readers can comment on each story and participate in a trade forum, capture trade events and submit job opportunities free of charge, making the site a comprehensive industry resource and platform for grassroots interaction among individuals and companies in the tourism industry
Rates have been kept low to ensure that even small rural places are included.
