Vacation ZA shines the light on deepest darkest Africa

By Sandy Cosser, 26.09.11 | Comments

Vacation ZA is a new travel portal devoted to all things sub-Sahara African. Vacation ZA provides businesses and services providers in the travel and tourism industries with an opportunity to list their ventures on the portal and advertise to a wide range of holiday-makers. The site may be new but that just means that there has never been a better time to get in on the ground floor.

Vacation ZA covers a huge area, from South Africa all the way up to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya. Of course it also includes Mauritius, Madagascar and the Seychelles. Safari operators, diving schools, mountain guides, restaurants, transportation providers, hotel, B&Bs, art galleries, museums and road side cafes; all are welcome to list their businesses on Vacation ZA.

There is a perception that some areas of Africa are less desirable as vacation options than others. Vacation ZA aims to dispel these misperceptions where necessary and keeps visitors up-to-date on changing circumstances that suddenly open up new avenues, adventures and opportunities.

Those looking to plan a holiday can subscribe to the Vacation ZA to receive email notifications of new listings related to their holiday preferences.

To get started businesses will have to register on Vacation ZA. Once that is done there are several options:

  1. Submit a listing.
  2. Submit an ad.
  3. Submit an event.

There are three options when it comes to placing an ad: on the homepage, on a regional page or on a town page. Advertising rates are dependant on where the ad appears. When registering it’s necessary to provide a brief description of around 6000 characters, three medium-sized pictures, contact information and, if possible a detailed document with information pertaining to rates and any specials run.

Once the profile has been uploaded, registered businesses will able to change listings as and when necessary, for instance when promotions or begin or new pictures become available.

Contact Vacation ZA for more information.
