ISSUE 01 – JANUARY 2017
A Prosperous New Year to you and yours. The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot!

Talking about good news, please do take some time to navigate through the January content links below. As our front cover demonstrates, a Big Five safari is all about the sightings and experiences. And sharing the thrill of these experiences with friends and family on social media is what travellers do.

But internet connectivity at game reserves can be sporadic, if available at all. So how important is WiFi access? Is it a factor when travellers make their destination decisions? Do properties with great connectivity benefit more than those with poor or no connectivity? Our feature on page 08 finds out.

Yours in Tourism,
