Tourism can open our eyes to new places, cultures and experiences, create memorable connections and provide important economic opportunities.
But for us, World Tourism Day is about thinking about how tourism can benefit local enterprise and communities. At Dreamcatcher South Africa, this is at the heart of what we do.
Through programmes such as Homestay™ and CookUp with Kamamma™, we support community enterprises that create income and employment opportunities for local people — while helping to spread the benefits of tourism beyond traditional tourist areas.
And when you travel with us, 90% of visitor booking income goes directly to local enterprises.
We believe tourism can also help celebrate culture, protect heritage and create positive environmental and social change. That’s why 10% of every Dreamcatcher South Africa booking is invested directly back into community projects, supporting initiatives such as PaintUp with Kamamma™ and Made in Melkhoutfontein™.
Since our inception, we also have invested in the next generation. Through our DC Kids™ programme in , we provide a safe and nurturing space where children and young people can come together, learn and have fun. The programme typically runs three days a week, providing nutritious food, learning activities, creative projects and environmental activities, while also creating opportunities for young people to meet international visitors, share their stories, discover different cultures and exchange skills and knowledge across generations and communities.
We are proud of seeing children who first came to DC Kids™ grow into young adults who are now making their own mark — building careers, contributing to their communities and becoming positive role models for the next generation.
🤝 𝗚𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹™
Over the last few months alone, our Kamammas have welcomed more than 50 international tourists, giving visitors the opportunity to ‘Go Truly Local™’ and experience South Africa through its people, communities and places. And October is already looking busy, including welcoming a delegation of teachers and head teachers from the Netherlands.
For us, Going Truly Local™ is about creating tourism that:
🌍 Connects visitors and communities
🤝 Contributes to local economies
💚 Creates opportunities for local people
