Cape Town - "the fairest cape in the entire circumference of the globe"
Cape Town: A vibrant, cosmopolitan city with a World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature at its centre. Chosen World Design Capital for 2014 and just named in the Top 10 Most Loved Cities of the World by CNN.
Waterberg Biosphere in Limpopo
The world's only savanannah biosphere - pristine beauty and vast spaces that extend as far as the eye can see.
Constitution Hill in Johannesburg
Housing more than just South Africa's Constitutional Court, which is juxtaposed alongside the remnants of a notorious prison, it's worthy of a pilgrimage to remind one of the most important thing in SA - its Constitution.

The small towns of the Western Cape
The small towns of the Western Cape have seen an influx of switched-on city folk who've given the towns new life and vibrancy. Montagu is shown here.
The mighty Umzimvubu River at Port St Johns, Eastern Cape
Port St Johns suprises! Getting there, whether you drive from the north or south, is an escape all of its own. This photograph was taken from the end of a aircraft runway on top of a mountain!

Is innovation key in your corporate culture?
We came across this quote recently: "Innovation needs to be part of your culture. Consumers are transforming faster than we are. If we don't catch up, we're in trouble."
One company that is getting things right is FNB and we spoke to Michael Jordaan, FNB's CEO. Read the interview.
The State of Destination Marketing
Two new stories reflect on what's happening as far as destination marketing is concerned in two of South Africa's largest cities. See:
- “It’s just a jump to the left… And then a step to the right…” – restructuring destination marketing in the Western Cape, and
- Poor Johannesburg! It's restructuring is making real destination marketing almost impossible.
The best bargain around?
A Citizens' Victory
The Pretoria High Court ruling that interdicted SA National Roads Agency from levying and collecting tolls is a victory for the consumer and tourism in Gauteng province.
