Top Holidays outlines South Africa plans
Top Holidays, a South African wholesale tour operator selling outbound travel to 33 countries in Europe and 12 countries in Africa, will launch its ‘Inbound into Southern Africa’ programme at Indaba – held in Durban this year from May 3 to 6.
Features of this new programme include real-time, online booking for overseas operators, the opening of a London office to service the UK & Ireland inbound market, and the introduction of charter flights into South Africa from the UK.
Brian Cunningham, ceo of Top Holidays: Inbound says: “This is just the start of a future ‘Inbound into Africa’ programme that will soon include countries in the rest of Africa that we are already selling in our outbound programmes such as Zanzibar, Tanzania, and Kenya in east Africa, the Seychelles and Maldives in the Indian Ocean, and Morocco and Tunisia in north Africa.”
Cunningham explains that Top Holidays will introduce three chartered flights a week between the UK and South Africa by early 2004. Utilising an A340 aircraft, Top Holidays will fly inbound groups into Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA) and then on to Cape Town before returning to the UK. Passengers will enjoy free stops at both of the South African hubs and will have the option to fly to other parts of southern Africa on feeder charters from KMIA.
