“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Nelson Mandela
As a conduit between supply and demand, we are an industry facilitator who mobilise the many small people who do many small things in many small places across our outstretched landscape to do tourism as a lifestyle that will inspire and encourage more people to take more trips, visit more local places, spend more money, purchase more affordable local products and create more local jobs. The key features of the Portal / Hub are all geared to afford us the opportunity to be a top-of-the-wallet OTA and to share the income we generate from both our on-line and off-line activities to deliver a much better tourism destination with informed communities that fully understand how they benefit from tourists, travellers and visitors to their community and area. From a database hosted in the cloud and providing simultaneous access to millions of local consumers and visitors to a domestic retail network designed to take tourism to 23 million economic active domestic consumers and a through the year co-branded and co-partnered domestic tourism awareness campaign, the features and functionality of the Portal / Hub are always and everywhere applied with the interest of the consumer at heart. The features and functionality of the Portal include, but are not limited, to:
Instant bookings and purchases
We have not invented on-line accommodation and informal transport bookings, but we have perfected the availability of rooms, seats, products and services to real time at the point-of-sale to facilitate instant transactions, instant payments and instant cash in the bank. Offerings facilitated by our dynamic search engine are instantly bookable and payable, whether the specified requirements of the consumer could be matched exactly, or in the case of suitable alternative accommodation, transport, products or services being offered as a consideration.
The very secure and safe wallet-to-wallet payment and settlement solution we offer to our database members and our customers in association with G-Pay facilitate instant payments with cash in the wallet account of the database member with every transaction delivered by the Portal. Business members receive a wallet account powered by G-pay at each of the major South African banks at zero monthly fees and consumers receive a zero monthly fee wallet account on their mobile phone, which can be funded from a credit card, debit card or an EFT transfer from a bank account as and when Payments made from one wallet account to another wallet account at the same bank carry zero banking costs and happen instantly. Payments made from a credit or debit card to a wallet account carry the applicable card acquiring fees as arranged by the card holder with his bank.

Wherever and whenever the consumer finds himself in this World in One Country, South Africa, we are there to deliver instant service . . . . at home, in the street, in a car, at a shopping mall, in the gym, next to a sports field, on the beach or a walk in the park. We are as near as a mobile or landline phone, a laptop or, if a more personalised service experience is a requirement, at any agent of our multi-channel domestic retail network, be it a participating school, a merchant, a sport club, a social club or a grocery store . . . . even a travel or other booking agent.
Our proprietary instant, cashless and zero banking cost wallet-to-wallet payment and settlement approach to experience tourism as a new and exciting South African life style, turn any mobile phone into a top-of-the-wallet trip companion with the functionality to search, book and pay for accommodation, products, goods and services hosted in the Portal database and to receive an instant cash back reward in the mobile wallet account of the user from participating database members.

The development of affordable breaks and leisure experiences nearer to home are informed by the rapidly rising travelling, accommodation and incidental expenses associated with enjoying a week-end break, trip, leisure excursion and holiday in a weakening economic climate. The ecological, cultural and social diversity of our communities and country offer exciting opportunities for the development and promotion of social, cultural and ecological trips, stays and excursions offering a unique experience of the community and region. Our Get to . . . . initiative aims to identify, develop and market interactive community tourism routes and trips offering a unique experience of the destination to tourists and travellers by combining accommodation, attractions, activities, history, competitions and ‘off the beaten track’ detours in one single tour or trip type. The tourist and visitor can choose from a series of tour and trip types ranging from walking tours, drive tours and overnight stay tours. All of the trips and packages interface with the mobile trip application of Travel Hub Africa, providing the tourist with the functionality.
New product development
Enterprise development and job creation
Our enterprise development initiatives and programs take note of the fact that the tourism sector has a major contribution to make in addressing the three societal challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality. More people at work and more people with jobs reduce inequality and poverty. However, Jobs don’t happen if the sector doesn’t grow, and hotels and guest-houses are not full. And they will only be full if people visit and explore the destination. We agree with the vision that the tourism sector must look at effective, sustainable and appropriate ways of enabling new entrants into the tourism industry, and that a diverse offering is essential if tourists are to stay longer and spend more – a big factor in job creation. The Portal is involved in and support projects and programs aimed at entrepreneurial development, training, skills transfer and enterprise development courses with-in the community and region and include, but is not limited to community tourist guides, waiters, cooks, chefs, front office staff, cleaner staff, general maintenance staff, etc., as well as basic read and write skills, basic accounting skills, business skills, arts and crafts skills, needlework skills, music and drama training, etc;
The tourism industry, by virtue of its scope in embracing other industries to deliver service excellence to citizens, communities and consumers alike, have to take note of the qualities of service excellence standards applicable to a wide spectrum of individual and collective environments and situations. The Portal therefore accommodates and facilitates services for all that are efficient, effective, excellent, equitable and empowering with the citizen always and everywhere at the heart of service provision. With this in mind Global Ubuntu Travel Connect is involved in the development of a practical tool for driving customer-focused change within its own service environment and that of suppliers to our database. The foundation of this tool is a customer service excellence standard which tests in great depth those areas that outset research and on-going monitoring indicate are a priority for customers, with particular focus on delivery, timeliness, information, professionalism and staff attitude. There is also emphasis placed on developing customer insight, understanding the user’s experience and robust measurement of service satisfaction.
Awarding service excellence
While some people may view us as just another online travel agent (OTA), our service delivery offering to the overall industry speaks differently. While we indeed are an OTA from the viewpoint of the product owner and supplier, the fully integrated and cutting-edge technology applications, programs and upending features of our Co-operative Hospitality Hub make us much more to the industry than just another OTA or online retail channel.
