LET US GIVE YOU THE (COMPETITIVE) EDGE
- Unlike many volume based tour operators, we do not have a "one size fits all" approach.
- We offer a boutique service and yet our pricing remains extremely competitive.
- Our destination is unique and offers unparalleled diversity and we want to expose you to as much or as little as you would like to see and do.
- In our opinion, Africa travel cannot be cookie cut.
- We create a travel recipe that appeals to your individual taste.
- We understand how important it is to be able to maximize each persons travel experience.
- Lets face it, Africa is not a cheap travel destination. Our professional travel consultants understand this and work hard to create the best travel solution for you at the right price.
- Our clients are far from numbers. Bottom line is important, but making dreams come true is what drives us.
Edge Travel has through their extensive network of professional travel suppliers created a comprehensive supply chain of like-minded accommodation and service providers who help to carry out the individual parts that make up the whole and seamless travel products that Edge Travel offers.
We understand how important it is to be able to offer personalized service in this industry. Our professional travel consultants look after all client files from the initial request until after they have travelled. On the e-contracting and support side we have competent consultants who understand client needs in our dynamic travel environment.
We are able to operate as an extention to your business. This offers you a larger footprint and offers the traveller continuity, right down to using your brand for documentation, presentation, vehicle branding and meet and greet branding if required.
When clients arrive into any of our destinations, we notify you within the hour that they have arrived safely. We make contact with all clients to ensure that all is going well and to let them know that if there is any issue, that we are a phone call away.
E- CONTRACTING SERVICE TO INTERNATIONAL WHOLESALERS AND ONLINE TRAVEL AGENTS
Edge Travel offers the dynamic service of contracting hotels and travel services on behalf of online operators. The online industry is huge and growing. Between 2005 and 2008, one third of all European bookings were online. In 2011, more than 60% of all bookings were made online. Travellers are becoming more savvy and more confident in making their own travel arrangements. This includes Africa. We work with a number of independent and chain hotels that understand the way the industry is moving and we are able to offer competitive pricing to wholesalers and OTA's.
We offer a bespoke service catering to your demands for net rate contracts allowing you to mark-up as you choose, backed with allocation and/or freesale and an extranet back-up team. We will monitor your availibility, keep you updated with special offers and ensure you have the best rates available at all times.
