Germany’s largest travel company, TUI Deutschland GmbH, is hosting 100 TUI travel agents in the Cape area for a week.

The agents were specially selected out of 2 500 applicants, and they will experience a safari in the Eastern Cape, and four days in Cape Town and surrounding areas.  A travel expo will be set up for them in Stellenbosch, at which local product owners can interact with the agents.  The Cape leg of their trip will end ”at one of Camps Bay’s trendiest venues”, reports Cape Business News.

TUI Travel PLC, the parent company of the German TUI, is the largest tourism company in the world, and aggressively sells South African packages in the German market.  It has more than 20 % market share, and is represented in 180 countries, serving 30 million clients internationally
