Designed to convert consumer needs into instant payment confirmed business to improve occupancy rates and product sales.
At Global Ubuntu Travel connect it is all about creating huge demand for the accommodation, products and services offered by the tourism and tourism economy industry and to then service the consumer interest created by this demand through a tailor made and dedicated domestic multi-channel retail network. The retail network is designed and applied to address and convert the divergent holiday and leisure needs of budget domestic consumers into real time payment confirmed business at any network point of sale. The key elements, applications and programs of our Co-operative Hospitality Hub are designed to facilitate volume transactions while stimulating development and growth to deliver more business to boost industry occupancy rates and product sales.

The journey followed after a remark at a board meeting that the domestic tourism sector is supposed to provide the baseline for future tourism development and growth but that it is not structured or geared to do so effectively. And further, that companies and stake holders involved in the industry find themselves in a comfort zone to service only the formal industry sector with little or no time and resources available to investigate and develop a structure that will service the actual needs of the informal sector . . . . .other than attempting to service domestic supply and demand as best it can through the global distributions systems prevalent in the formal sector. One of the founder members took it upon himself to investigate the origin and truth behind this remark and eventually discovered a gap as big as the Kimberley hole between first and second economy supply and demand in the industry, and a tourism iceberg in industry service delivery favouring only the business traveller and rich and affluent holiday and leisure consumer at the tip, leaving thousands of domestic budget holiday and leisure consumer and thousands more SMME industry accommodation owners, operators and service providers to battle conducting quality business in a muddled, largely fragmented, non-regulated and non-monitored domestic industry sector. It then further transpired that this gap in first and second economy supply and demand and the distinction between tourism facilitation in the formal and informal tourism sectors were indeed a characteristic of the industry in all developing countries on the continent, resulting in the board member and a couple of entrepreneurial associates coming to a decision to pull funds and resources to develop and commission a portal and communication framework that will effectively manage, market, promote, expose and service the domestic tourism sector in South Africa, countries in the Southern African Development Community and countries further afield on the Continent.
Our story begins some years back with a grass roots research journey into the tourism industry.

About Us
Applying structure to the domestic tourism sector unlocks rewards and benefits for a greater participation in the industry for 23 million economic active domestic consumers in LSM groups 4 to 8, as well as the thousands of SMME operators, product owners and service providers doing business in the informal industry under the surface of the Tourism Iceberg. For this enormous market sector under the surface of the Tourism Iceberg Travel Hub Africa makes . . . Finding suitable accommodation, products and services much easier. Finding affordable accommodation, products and services much easier. Booking and/or purchasing of the accommodation, products and services much easier.
One of the incorporates of Global Ubuntu Travel Connect, as a co-opted member of the Business Unity South Africa (BUSA) and National Economic Development and Labour Council (NEDLAC) Team, in 2012/2013 advised the Minister of Tourism and the National Department on the provisions of the then Draft Tourism Bill promulgated into law in 2014 as Act 43 of 2014. He was able, at the time, to share with the team and the lawmakers valuable findings derived from this grass roots research into all aspects of the domestic tourism sector, particularly those identified as possible stumbling blocks to achieve the vision for tourism of the National Development Plan (NDP) and the National Tourism Sector Strategy (NTSS) of the Department of Tourism to develop and grow the industry to fulfil its baseline role as the biggest contributor to the Gross Domestic Product and provider of sustainable jobs. Almost all of the research findings and the provisions of the Act have now been incorporated in one way or another as key elements of the Global Ubuntu Travel Connect™ portal and framework, enabling the Minister and the Department to analyse and disseminate information and data on tourism, monitor industry developments and trends and to plan for the future development and growth of the industry with access to dated and reliable statistics.
