Edition 1: 10th January 2011 Newsletter
Greetings from Cape Town,
A Big thank you to all the lovely people we met on our Marketing trip down The Garden Route and Breede Valley area in November 2010. It was such a change from being in the office between four walls.
We found both areas amazing and sometimes wonder why our South Africans do not take a Province at a time or an area and visit it for their annual holiday. We have amazing Guest Houses and Self Catering cottages where you can stay over for a very reasonable rate. The weather was wonderful for us, as it was sunny and not raining at all, though I must say the Garden Route really needs some rain badly. Well, at last they are also having rain as well as the Eastern Cape and the rest of South Africa.
This is the first of my News letter in a long time. If you have any interesting News you would like to share with our other Members, please send on your articles or photographs. For the moment I am using the materials that I have on file or where my travels have taken me. I will try and put in as much as I possibly can. Any suggestions would also be welcome from you e.g. Travel news, travel hints, amazing places, 4 x 4 routes etc, etc.
Wishing you all a prosperous 2011 and if you have any special rates or availability please advise so that we can share it in our News letter or websites, see www.go2sa.co.za where we can advertise all your information and interact with one another on our community Marketing Portal.
Warm regards,
Elaine Corbett
