Since our first-ever Workshop for Travel Professionals under sparkling chandeliers in The Mount Nelson’s grand ballroom some 17-odd years ago, Exclusive Getaways has connected many hundreds of travel professionals with a slick array of luxury lodges and travel products in South Africa. This happens at our educational Workshops for Travel Professionals throughout the country. If you are considering exhibiting at one or several of our workshops, you may like to see some of the feedback we’ve had from our exhibitors and attendees.
