For the travel business:
We allow travel professionals the opportunity to profile themselves online, helping you to stand out from the crowd. The internet is the #1 planning resource for travelers - around 80% of travelers use the internet to make their travel decisions (86% affluent travelers, 82% leisure travelers and 76% business travelers).* By using our popularity on the search engines we 'super charge' your online profile so that travelers can find you, contact you directly and book with you. It is our aim to make your business more successful. See some of our advertising options on offer.
1. Show case your travel products and services to a global and local audience by creating a profile on the popular Safari Co. website (this site ranks well for almost everything to do with Africa as it’s been focusing on search engine ranking in the African holiday category for over 7 years). The profile is a unique, mini-website with 5 pages where travelers can contact you directly. This means that you have the best chance to convert that enquiry into a booking because you can sell your business like no one else.
2. Create excellent online awareness by sending us your news and we’ll promote it for you. It’s as easy as submitting articles, photos and videos of Africa related travel subjects and we’ll place it in front of potential travelers. With all submitted content we add a link to your profile for additional exposure. Our ‘top photos & videos’ section are released monthly. Travel articles, videos and photos are a great way of directing potential clients to your travel business.
3. Target specials and travel deals directly to travelers that subscribed specifically for what you have to offer. This works well any special offers but especially for last minute specials to fill up a lodge, hotel or tour.
4. Remind your past clients to send us a review of their latest visit to Africa. These reviews should ideally include comments on your travel business as well as their thoughts of the destinations they visited. This will enable future clients to read about your business from the perspective of other travelers. And because they are widely read, the reviews will increase your exposure. These reviews are also searchable for even more awareness. Let your clients tell the rest of the world how good you are!
