MEMBER PROFILES

About asata.

To drive and support engagements between the private and public sectors to achieve common tourism industry growth objectives, boost traveler confidence in Destination South Africa and enable a sustainable travel and tourism industry. The Association of Southern African Travel Agents (ASATA) is at the forefront of making sure that travel agencies continue to deliver ease of travel in an ever-changing world. ASATA is a member of TBCSA. This month they are featured as part of member profiling to highlight the work that they do.

WHAT DOES YOUR ORGANISATION DO?

The Association of Southern African Travel Agents is a representative forum that promotes professional service in the travel industry for its members and their clients. Representing over 90% of the travel industry in terms of market share, ASATA’s membership is voluntary and includes South African retail travel agents, travel management companies, wholesalers and suppliers of travel-related products and services. ASATA’s focus is to maintain the professionalism, sustainability, and credibility of the travel industry.

HOW DO MEMBERS JOIN?

You can join ASATA by completing an application on our website. The application process takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. A complete application is reviewed by the ASATA Board and an outcome is finalised within 30 business days. [Link to website] Apply Now – ASATA

How did the Covid-19 pandemic change the way travel agents work?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, travel advisors were forced to work from home as the country entered a hard lockdown. Although many travel advisors have returned to the workplace and physical office, flexibility in the workplace has remained, offering remote or hybrid working options. The COVID-19 pandemic also shone a spotlight on independent business models, where travel advisors could work for themselves with the backing of a reputable travel company. Travel advisors have become well-versed in understanding and interpreting complex travel requirements, shifting from selling travel to becoming dedicated travel advisors supporting the travel journey end-to-end. During the pandemic, advisors cemented their value by helping customers navigate a complex travel world and continue to remain agile with an ever-changing travel landscape.

Please tell us more about your incubator programme and how you hope this will benefit the industry?

ASATA launched a non-profit business incubator with the aim of further strengthening and streamlining the tourism sector’s transformation agenda. Members can earn Enterprise Development (ED points) and Supplier Development (SD points) towards their B-BBEE scorecard, in an effort to drive transformation that will have far-reaching benefits across the industry. ASATA members will help sponsor up to 60 beneficiaries per financial year and provide custom-made (needs based) programmes suited to each of the beneficiaries and their businesses, for a period of one year (aligned to the financial year-end of the funder). It will allow travel businesses the flexibility to contribute towards the transformation of several small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) that are at least 51% black-owned, rather than channelling their transformation funds to a single organisation. ASATA’s aim is for the business incubator to be industry-led with staff involved in the beneficiary selection process and transformation journey led by their employers. ASATA can also nominate beneficiaries on a business’ behalf with some guidance as to the intentions of their transformation spend. 

Challenges currently faced by your members and how you feel they can be addressed?

The energy crisis and daily power cuts are massively challenging and not all members are able to source alternative energy solutions. Members that have alternative energy sources or backup generators in place, report a significant increase in overhead costs. The travel industry is resilient and although the energy crisis can be debilitating, members have found creative ways to continue with their day-to-day business, ensuring that customer service and support are never compromised. Airline capacity constraints saw a reduction in airline seats globally in 2022. As a result, the costs of airfares soared and closer to home, capacity constraints were felt on domestic routes with the exit of Comair/Kulula.com from the South African market. Although set to normalise in 2023, airfares will not return to what they were pre-Covid, and travel advisors will continue to flex their expertise by providing guidance on the best times to book and travel based on an ever-changing travel landscape. Visa delays are problematic and a huge barrier to travel as we saw in 2022. As we approach peak periods for travel, scarcity in visa appointment dates and visa processing delays are the norm for some visa applications and we need a simpler visa process to aid outbound travel.

What benefits has your organisation derived from being a member of TBCSA

TBCSA helps ASATA lobby on behalf of the interests of the wider travel and tourism industry and offers support in marketing the destination of South Africa to South Africans through the TOMSA levy. Working with TBCSA helps to increase the visibility of the tourism and travel sector in the media and amongst stakeholders.

South African Tourism Initiative

South African Tourism (SAT), in collaboration with the South African Embassy in Manila, Philippines, announced their re-engagement and re-inspiration initiative for the Philippines market, with a focus on the main cities of Manila and Cebu.  

This announcement comes as South Africa celebrates 30 years of freedom, making it an ideal time to showcase the country's tourism offerings.

The Philippines is the second largest tourist market in Southeast Asia after Singapore, with a significant increase in travelers to South Africa. In 2023, 6,487 people traveled to South Africa from the Philippines, compared to 4,329 in 2022, representing a 15 percent year-on-year increase. SAT anticipates that the market will reach its pre-Covid arrival numbers in 2024.

SAT is grateful for the collaboration of the Philippine tourism industry, which has contributed to the growth of South African tourism in the region. The initiative aims to strengthen this partnership and promote South Africa's diverse tourism offerings, in- cluding its rich culture, history, wildlife, and scenic beauty.

SAT invites travelers from the Philippines to explore South Africa's vibrant cities, breathtaking landscapes, and unique experiences. The country offers a range of activities for all types of travelers, from adventure seekers to cultural enthusiasts, making it an ideal destination for a memorable vacation.

Delta Enhances Africa Service with Nigeria Restart, Fleet Upgrades

Delta Air Lines is bolstering its standing as the largest US carrier serving Africa this winter season. The airline is relaunching daily service between New York-JFK and Lagos, Nigeria from 1st December, complementing existing daily Atlanta-Lagos flights. This provides up to 14 weekly Nigeria frequencies during peak periods over December and early January before reducing to 10 weekly flights.

Further strengthening its African network, Delta is upgrading aircraft deployed on routes to Ghana and South Africa. From late October, the New York-Accra service will utilise the modern A330-900neo, boosting capacity by 30% with nearly 1,000 extra seats weekly across four cabin experiences including Delta One Suites.

The Atlanta-Johannesburg and Atlanta-Cape Town routes will also benefit from aircraft enhancements from June and September respectively, with the introduction of the premium A350-900 offering an additional eight Delta One suites per flight. These investments reflect Delta's dedication to meeting evolving customer needs and delivering an elevated hospitality experience across its industry-leading African network, providing more premium seats, amenities and service enhancements.

Minister Zizi Kodwa on passing of South African boxing legend Dingaan Thobela

The department of sport, arts and culture minister, mr zizi kodwa, expresses heartfelt sadness at the passing of south african boxing legend mr dingaan thobela..

In a professional career which spanned from 1986 until 2006, Thobela was a multiple world boxing champion, having won the World Boxing Organization (WBO) and World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight, and World Boxing Council (WBC) super-middleweight titles. The Rose of Soweto was also a recipient of the Andrew Mlangeni Green Jacket Award. Minister Kodwa says, “Dingaan ‘The Rose of Soweto’ Thobela was a champion fighter who captured the hearts and soul of the nation. The Rose of Soweto progressed from a prolific amateur boxer to become a three-time world champion as a professional.” Minister Kodwa adds, “Thobela fought in some of the most memorable bouts, such as the fights against Tony Lopez for the WBA lightweight title and against Glenn Catley to win the WBC super-middleweight title. Through his success and popularity, Thobela was one of the world’s standout fighters in a golden period of South African boxing.” Minister Kodwa further states, “As we celebrate 30 years of South African democracy, we mourn the loss of an athlete who did so much to elevate South African sport through his success in boxing. We also celebrate a champion boxer who inspired the nation, future boxers and champions from Soweto, Mdantsane, Thohoyandou, and other parts of the country.” “I express my deepest sympathies to the Thobela family and the South African boxing fraternity. I join millions in mourning the passing of the Rose of Soweto,” says Minister Kodwa.
