ATA's Global
Position:
"This congress has achieved its main
objective, which is to enhance cooperation
in the
promotion
and marketing of our African destinations
in the United States of America. I believe
it would be a great idea to have an
umbrella tourism organization such as the
Africa Travel Association that can
supplement our promotion and marketing
efforts in other tourist-generating
markets such as Europe and Asia."

Magic
of Technology
 One
of the blessings of today's Computer Age
is the ease which we can archive the
results of our efforts of the past several
decades - and leave a footprint in the
sands of time. From thousands of photo
images taken and processed during numerous
trips to and from the African Continent,
to conference reports, focus groups, road
shows, speeches, in-depth interviews,
biographies and flashbacks - our editors
are able to recall, restore, rethink and
regenerate a library of material from this
vast treasury. That's why on the 10th
Anniversary of our two travel-business
magazines - and the 30th Anniversary of
the Africa Travel Association, I am
pleased to introduce some new features
appearing soon.
On
our web site s a list of DOWNLOADS -
available in the colorful, convenient,
easy to print PDF format we love so well.
This amazing technology, first introduced
by Adobe about the time myself and friends
were making our dauntless debut in the
publishing side of this fascinating media
world, is a magic touch. The PDF, short
for ' personal document file,' is finally
gaining the broad acceptance it so rightly
deserves.

Rovos
Rail offers new Cape to Vic Falls
combination
(with complimentary hotel stay and
transfers in Pretoria)
Rovos
Rail has launched a new 6-day packaged
journey from Cape Town to Victoria
Falls/Livingstone. The journey is a
combination of the existing Cape Town to
Pretoria route with the Pretoria to
Victoria Falls/Livingstone route and
includes a complimentary overnight stay in
a pre-selected Pretoria hotel on a bed and
breakfast basis, including transfers to
and from Rovos Rail's Capital Park Station
in Pretoria
"Whilst
some agents and operators have already
been combining the two back-to-back
journeys into one itinerary, we felt the
need to add value for the guest and reduce
the workload for our agents by booking and
including the overnight stay in Pretoria
with transfers" said Rohan Vos, owner and
founder of Rovos Rail. The overnight stay
in Pretoria provides an opportunity for
guests to explore and discover the
historic capital city and it's numerous
attractions. "Our agents and operators can
confidently put their clients in our hands
for a full 6 days knowing that all their
needs and desires will be exceeded
in the style and luxury with which our
product is associated". A Pretoria city
tour can be arranged on request and is not
included in the overall
package.
Off-train
excursions during the journeys include a
stop in the quaint Victorian village of
Matjiesfontein, a tour of the historical
diamond mining town of Kimberley, a game
drive in Kapama Game Reserve in the Kruger
National Park and a flight from
Pietersburg to Livingstone aboard Rovos
Air's Classic aircraft. En-route, guests
will be treated to Rovos Rail's legendary
service, fine cuisine, and luxurious
accommodation on a fully-inclusive
basis.
The
new packaged itinerary will be available
for booking from 1 October 2005 on
selected fortnightly Monday departures out
of Cape Town during the Victoria Falls
train departure months.
