euromic officially announced today that Travel Motives, South Africa, has joined the organization as a World Affiliate destination management company. euromic members voted unanimously to include Travel Motives in the association at the Annual General Meeting earlier in January.
'The wealth of experience and professionalism our team possesses is what's behind our euromic Affiliation,' said Dayle White, General Manager at Travel Motives. 'We are pleased to be a part of one of the oldest consortiums of companies specializing in full service destination management. South Africa is a land of immense possibilities: if you can dream it, Travel Motives will deliver it with the high level of service standards expected from all euromic DMCs.'
Based in Johannesburg, Travel Motives offers full service meeting, incentive, and group travel programs within southern Africa. South Africa and its neighbors have proved to be growing and important destinations, offering planners new, exciting travel programs for their clients. While traditional, luxury facilities abound, itineraries in South Africa also provide ample options for those with a sense of adventure and a taste for the extraordinary.
Part of the success of Travel Motives is a corporate culture rooted in the African philosophy of Ubuntu - the idea that our humanity is formed through participation in a community. This is expressed in the traditional Zulu adage, 'Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu,' which means, 'a person is only a person through their relationship with others.' This commitment to mutual respect informs Travel Motives' client interactions. It also shows a unique understanding of what meeting and incentive travel are all about: maximizing potential by strengthening relationships.
