„What does the clue say? Where are we going?” That’s how our Cape Country Routes Amazing Race kicked off…

4 teams of travel agents from around the world were invited to discover our scenic Routes - West Coast-, Wine-, Whale and R62 - and experience our hidden gems in a fun way road-tripping in Jimny 4x4’s. It was an opportunity to shift perspective and find new, exciting travel experiences for their clients.

Recent studies have identified certain travel trends for the post pandemic travel phase. While some are talking about “revenge travel”, survey results confirm that the global vaccine rollout seems to boost consumer confidence. So while we are waiting for our future guests, we follow travel experts who all seem to agree that there are specific trends that we should all be preparing for. Cape Country Routes have taken note off these trends and put them into our planning.

It is during Corona times that guest do not only look for “Character, Charm and Romance”, the hallmark of Cape Country Routes. They also look for a commitment to provide a safe stay. Across the group our members have pledged to adhere to the protocols for COVID-19 during the time of the pandemic as recommended by die TBCSA (Tourism Business Council of South Africa) and validated by the WTTC (World Tourism and Travel Council). One could even call it a commitment to “Collective Covid Rules”.

The saying goes “Never let your memories be greater than your dreams “...and this is so true! Memories are wonderful but it is the present moment that nourishes our inner joy and love for travel. The time will come when we can all travel again, when we can live our travel dreams and create new memories based on real time experiences. Let’s start planning our next trip inspired by the many beautiful destinations South Africa and the Cape’s Country Routes have to offer.
