Quote 1
After completing the Business Acumen Training by South African Tourism and Nedbank for Women in Tourism, I was inspired to think about ways to enhance market access for Womxn-owned businesses in tourism. After receiving training on how to better run our businesses, the natural next step felt like taking businesses to meet their customers. This is what Womxn Xplore aims to do through the attendance of domestic travellers, buyers and the media.
