Motivation for award: We have been inspiring and promoting South Africa as a top travel destination not only to global travellers but to local explorers too. Even through the tough times of COVID we kept going with our weekly chats talking about tourism, travel, spreading positivity and inspiring to support local industries. Thanks to our passionate group of hosts and community, travellers and explorers of SA – we were able to share the beauty of our country with the world. And we will keep doing that… Dream. Explore. Inspire. #TravelChatSA is the longest-running and regular, one-hour live community Twitter chat in South Africa. Established in 2010 our chat is focused on promoting and inspiring travels in our beautiful country of South Africa. We focus on promoting and celebrating our country’s natural beauty, traditions, diversity, people, places, experiences and much more. Our chatters use the platform to share their knowledge, learn from others in the travel community and be part of a network of people passionate about travel. Even though our topics focus on South Africa, it is a dynamic and fun global conversation that anyone can join, learn from and contribute to.

Dalene Ingham-Brown – 18.02.2022
What a well-deserved nomination! I first heard about #TravelChatSA 7 years ago when I started working in the travel industry as a junior marketing assistant. What an absolute BLESSING the hour-long live chat was… and still is! I never missed an opportunity to engage in the weeks’ chat! It gave me the opportunity to expand my industry knowledge, network with influencers (and brands) that otherwise would’ve been near-impossible for me to build a rapport with. It presented countless opportunities for collaboration, and was the ultimate springboard of confidence I needed in a new industry I knew nothing about. Looking back, it proved to be the most valuable resource for me finding my feet in the busy industry. It levelled out the playing field by bringing everybody together with one common goal: a love for South Africa and exploring it! #TravelChatSA deserves to ultimately take this award, because it has linked the right platform, community, and purpose to create something ever-fresh, and truly valuable; a sense of community in the South African tourism industry. To me, that’s better than innovation; it’s innovation with heart <3 #TravelChatSA, you most-certainly get my vote… and my gratitude xxx
