Green
Africa International
Travel
Introduction
Green Africa International Travel is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Green Africa Group.
One of the newest companies in the Green Africa family, Green Africa
International Travel is a full service travel agency that began
operating in March 2003. Over the past few years, the company has grown
exponentially, with its head office in Johannesburg servicing a
corporate clientele, including the Green Africa Group.
Following the launch of a retail strategy in the third-quarter of 2008,
an emerging network of own-brand travel agencies, located in popular
shopping centres in Durban and Johannesburg, services leisure travel
needs.
Its reputation for one-on-one attention, flexibility and efficiency is
attributed to the fact that every client is allocated a personal travel
manager, who’s responsible for building and nurturing the
relationship.
By providing many traditionally out-sourced services in-house (e.g.
foreign exchange, visas, etc.), leveraging professional partnerships
and utilising the latest technology, Green Africa International Travel
ensures clients receive value for their money.
The company was considered by the Edenvale Chamber of Commerce as
Business of the Year in its category in 2007, and is BEE compliant.
It’s also a member of the International Air Transport
Association
(IATA), Association of South African Travel Agents (ASATA) and Sure
Travel. |
