From the Congo to Machadadorp to the UK

--:--
This week we start with James Byrne, CEO of the ITFFA who shares his ideas for the International Tourism Film Festival Africa and how tourism films from ads to glorious cinematography can make a difference to those wanting to visit SA. We move to up to the Congo (well New York if truth be told) and I am joined by Gaylord Kasayi, CEO and founder of the DRC Travel Meet, a new concept in Travel Expos. Coming back to SA, we move to Macahadorp and the beautiful Kloppenheim Country Estate and Hotel where GM Stuart Dunbar tells us why this is the venue of choice for weddings, conferences or simply just a getaway. Jed Crawford and son Mike from the Purple Orchid Cafe in the town centre fills us in on the history of the area. Lou Wong is an Artiste I met during our visit to the My Body My Space event taking place in the town. She hails from Manchester and telling stories through her solo performance including one with a fridge! Closing the show today we talk of heart break and lost fortunes with Claire Thompson of Campaign Against Adult Grooming. How can we stop scammers from taking what isn't theirs from vulnerable members of our society?
