The benefits of joining ATTA
A company limited by Guarantee run by a Board of Directors drawn from companies involved in tourism throughout Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands. The Chief Executive administers the Association from offices located on the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom.
ATTA provides many services for its members, which cover:
1. Networking
Network gatherings include lunches, drinks parties, and an annual dinner. These events allow members to establish relationships with their counterparts across the industry, connecting accommodation suppliers, safari operators, wholesalers, transport providers, journalists, publications, and other tourism related products.
2. Information and Advice
ATTA is constantly fostering an exchange of information between members. ATTA have recently appointed dedicated Medical and Legal advisors whose specialist knowledge in their fields is available to members when required.
3. The Membership Directory and Database
A comprehensive Directory is published annually listing members contact details. Indexed by contact name, category and company this publication is a vital aide-memoir for the tourism industry.
4. The ATTA Media Club
ATTA acts as the interface between its membership and the UK Media, providing a two-way exchange of information to many of the influential travel journalists predominantly based in the UK.
5. Exposure of your product
Through its sophisticated website, which includes hyperlinks to your own website, ATTA provides a valuable exposure of membership product.
6. Travel shows
ATTA plays a leading role in the two main travel trade shows WTM in London and Indaba in South Africa. The ATTA facilities are always located adjacent to the main exhibition floors. They provide an opportunity for members to meet in quieter surroundings away from the hustle and bustle of the main exhibition floor. Café ATTA provides hot beverages free of charge and a quiet ‘rondezvous’ for members and their guests to meet. ATTA is increasingly focusing on Exhibition Business Centres providing simple workstations in an office environment adjacent to the main exhibition.

The ATTAK facility distributes news stories posted by member or the executive that can be filtered as required by country and category and distributed via e-mail. NEWSBUCKET allows members to attach offers and specialised information to their website. JOBSPOT acts as a staff-recruitment advertising service broadcast across the membership for a nominal fee.
8. The ATTA Logo
Members display the ATTA logo on stationary and promotional material, which acts as a source of recognition throughout the industry. |

| Magestico Tours
Do you want to play golf, curiously watched by a lanky giraffe? Feel the thrill of riding a horse in the midst of a herd of zebra? Or perhaps cycle in the shade of giant baobabs? No problem, anything is possible in South Africa.
Some argue that variety is the spice of life, others say it is the soul of enjoyment: for those visiting Southern Africa it is both.
We at Magestico Tours are proudly South African and want to share our passion and knowledge of the country's great natural beauty. Let us help you design the African adventure of a lifetime, where every need and luxury will be catered for with exceptional service, hand picked accommodation and our personal undivided attention.
Our years of experience in all aspects of the tourism industry has given us a deep understanding of the different aspirations of the traveller and through us you will discover the diversity of Southern Africa and be forever in love with it.
From world class cuisine and wines, to ancient traditional cultures, from pristine beaches and oceans teaming with colorful marine life, to safaris on elephants and game viewing in prime wilderness areas, from the vibrant night life of Newtown, Johannesburg to the peace and serenity of the open spaces, your dream of Africa will be fulfilled.
We realize that each individual has different requirements and expectations and we are looking forward to tailor making your visit to Southern Africa. |
