More than 10 million South Africans travel locally every year. Sho’t Left’s Travel Week is an initiative designed to showcase a range of affordable local experiences.
Every member of the tourism sector is invited to upload deals of up to 50% off, which will be available to the public during Travel Week, 5-11 September 2022.
This serves as a powerful incentive for first-time travellers, as well as for regular travellers looking to dip their toes into new destinations and activities.
