OUR WHY

In 2019, WE as South Africa welcomed 16.6 million visitors to our country.

Many of which used tour companies to experience the people and nature, hostels to get into the country’s local vibe, hotels and BnB’s to relax and sleepover and were met with friendly faces, hugs and smiles while enjoying the amazing offering we as a rainbow nation are known for.

Now, all of these people are without work because of the international lockdown measures, companies can not pay their staff and hostels and hotels can not keep their employees on.


VISION

Our aim is to find and develop innovative ways to support our awesome colleagues across various tourism businesses in times of need.


MISSION

Through an honest online platform, we aim to facilitate the collection and distribution of donations and any form of help offered to people in tourism who can not directly benefit from the South African funds and schemes.

OUR VALUES

Discretion and Confidentiality

Service through Full Transparency

Support during Trying Times

Innovative and Unified Approach

A legacy for Tourism in South Africa

WHO WILL BE SUPPORTED

Travel facilitates change indefinitely. Whether on a personal level or in a destination – the movement of people through an area brings a beautiful opportunity for something more.

The sharing of ideas and cultures, old or new, brings about a radical change in any traveller or local alike.

Opportunities for innovation, change and growth are opened up by the influx of new people and friends to an area (destinations) or a certain space (hostels and accommodations).

This is very apparent in the “travel spheres” around the world in the form of the Youth Travel Industry, out-reach programs, community projects, eco-projects, hostels and their initiatives, nature conservation and design and innovation taking president – forming new ways of living.

This is what we aim to keep going within South Africa, and maybe the world, through uniting friends and like minded people in tourism.

This is a platform to change the narrative around – from “What I need” to “What can I offer”. For The People, by the People.
