According to Mr. Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways, “We are delighted to announce a social media contest in association with South African Tourism and Sun International to foster stronger people-to-people ties between South Africa and India. The relations between the two countries have been extraordinary at all times because of our shared history. We feel increased tourism and business visits would help in ushering in a stronger, more prosperous shared future between the two countries as well as the entire African region.”
South Africa is one of the most diverse, enchanting countries in the world. The destination offers its tourists exotic combinations of landscapes, people, history and culture, which is a unique and inspiring experience by itself. It is much more than the thrills of the lion kill the breathtaking beauty of sunsets on the savannah and the delight of swimming with dolphins in tepid, azure blues seas. Exotic combinations of landscapes, people, history, and culture offer the traveler a unique experience. South Africa possesses some of the
best beaches in the world, renowned wildlife parks such as Kruger Park and beautiful natural scenery. It has been referred to as the ‘Rainbow Nation’, a title which illuminates the country’s cultural diversity. From art to culture to history, from spectacular picture postcard shots to the special essence, flavours and fragrances of the local markets, it is an all-encompassing experience.
Tourists interested in visiting South Africa this summer could opt for any of the attractive JetEscapes holiday packages and offers from Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline. Designed to provide an enchanting South African travel experience, the JetEscapes ‘South African Escapes’, ‘SunCity Getaway’ and ‘Kruger Getaway’ packages will offer travelers distinctly unique South African travel experiences. The JetEscapes packages, starting at Rs. 75,500, include Jet Airways’ return economy air tickets to Johannesburg, accommodation at a 3-star hotel or similar facilities with breakfast, airport transfers, travel insurance and sight-seeing as outlined in the itinerary. In addition, guests will be eligible for 5 JP miles on every Rs. 100/- spent.
The exclusive South African holiday packages would find favour with Indian tourists as the weather in the Rainbow Nation would be cooler during its autumn and winter months, proving the most attractive summer getaways from India’s sweltering heat.
