ETRAVEL is expanding its business,
venturing outside South Africa’s
borders.
The ITC specialist, which will hold
a workshop in Windhoek on June
25, has already signed up one new
ITC in Namibia.
Ceo, Garth Wolff, says the
company always planned to
gradually expand across the
borders. “Now the timing is
perfect. We have all our ‘internal
affairs’ in perfect working order
so that we can not only look after
existing ITCs but also focus on the
potential in cross-border locations.”
The demand in Namibia has
picked up, Garth says. “We plan
to gradually penetrate the market
there. There is no rush as our
main goal is to always look after
our existing ITCs first.”
Garth adds that there are
challenges associated with
expanding into Southern Africa
but that these can easily be
overcome. “Proximity issues
are always a challenge but the
market understands that operating
remotely is fine these days.”
Although Garth doesn’t rule out
any opportunities, he says – at this
stage – eTravel is not looking to
expand into any other countries.
