The common pain points for leisure & corporate guesting run along similar considerations

1. Financial ~ so many have personally suffered financial strain while companies are attempting to shed any/all unnecessary costs
2. Home entertainment & virtual meetings have impacted deeply on our lives & new habits have been formed.
3. The real fear of exposing my family or work colleagues to a possible risk situation.
4. General apathy amidst the pervading of doom & gloom. In RSA, the corruption revelations have left South Africans sickened & angry.

Any invitation to stir a would-be Traveller to (a) break out of their newly developed cocoon is the only the first step & (b) the second is to attract them to YOUR  Property as the destination of choice.

To achieve that, do ensure you have solutions to each of the above four pain points.
