Summary
With a record 10,5 million visitors to SA in 2025 (from Africa and international destinations) who mostly included holiday/leisure visitors, it resulted in a 17,7% increase on a year to year basis
This trend will surely continue in the following years and an investment in the tourism/travel industry can only grow, with tourists from Europe/USA and the Middle/Far East being an upcoming market
The owner of this group of hotels and lodges has over many years built up an extraordinary business with meticulous effort and with the assistance of a group of managers and an administrative backbone of competent staff, has foreseen changes in the tourism sector (needs of travellers, catering for an informed tourist, etc), resulting in an excellent reputation where word of mouth is still the most effective marketing tool including travel agencies
The owner has now decided to retire and hence the decision to afford a buyer the opportunity to purchase 66.7% of his shares in the group of companies and for such buyer to continue on his success path
It is very rare that between all the hotels and lodges in the group, the owner has succeeded to have an occupancy of 73% in 2025, which could only be achieved by managing the group of hotels and lodges with creative and innovative strategic precision.
