Invitation

Much has been said about the emergence of the East as a core tourism market for South Africa especially since the signing of trade agreements with China at the close of 2002. More recently we have seen a waning of demand from most European markets and sporadic response from emergent markets and for a number of years now we have been wondering when South African Tourism will appoint someone who has a background in the industry to take charge of driving business in each of the core markets.

The appointment of Bradley Brouwer (ex Forever Resorts) as country manager for the East (based in Japan) was the kind of incumbent we were asking for and we have see a marked increase in interest and demand from that part of the world since his appointment, not to mention a number of very happy operators who have made use of his efficient support in that region.

Bradley has spent his entire career in the hospitality and tourism industries and served on many industry association bodies and Boards including SATSA and the Mpumalanga Tourism Board. Before joining SAT in 2006 he was Marketing, Sales and PR Director of Forever Resorts for five years and as such attended many local and overseas marketing exhibitions and workshops and made many friends and contacts all around the world.

Bradley has kindly agreed to share with us his immense knowledge of the industry and particularly some worthwhile insights into the rapidly emerging Eastern markets over lunch.
