The information dissemination with the creative is amazing and full of excitement. Handpicked sites and creative thought through for the locations differentiate it with other travel campaigns.

Hanneli Slabber

Commenting on the campaign, Hanneli Slabber, Country Manager, South African Tourism, said, “Outdoor advertising is one of the strongest mediums of gaining widespread access to the nation's holiday seekers. This year, we have customised our outdoor campaign to make it more local by highlighting South Africa's unique experiences in local languages in a contextual manner. This idea came from the insight that we gathered during our interactions with Indian travellers, where after their visit to South Africa, they could best express certain emotions of experiences such as pleasure, eternity and beauty only in their mother tongue. Taking cue from this, we thought of bringing alive emotions that resonate with our customers at a regional level to draw a stronger connect with the potential travellers. We have also added some innovations in our outdoor creative work to demonstrate South Africa's distinctive, spectacular and high quality tourism products and experiences that are amongst the world's finest.”
