DESPITE South Africa’s beloved Springboks missing out on the Rugby World Cup grand final (or even the semis), South African Tourism’s (SAT) team and its board members have been out in full force this week to promote the unique experiences the country offers its visitors.
Last night South African Tourism enjoyed an intimate dinner at Sydney’s Spice Temple restaurant with its trade and consumer media partners to express their appreciation for contributing to Sydney being Australia’s largest outbound market to South Africa.
This evening the team will host an event for almost 100 South African expatriates living in Sydney to “remind them how beautiful their country is and help encourage them to spread the word to their Australian friends”, SAT country manager Australasia, Lalie Ngozi told Travel Daily.
As the Rugby World Cup draws to a close this weekend SAT is reminding Australian and NZ agents and consumers about its competitions giving away a trip for two to South Africa.
This Sunday is the last day for entries into SAT’s Facebook competition, where consumers are required to post three words that best describe South Africa.
And there’s only a month left to enter SAT’s Leave Ordinary Behind competition where consumers can create and upload their own video experiences – for more see leaveordinarybehind.com.au.
