Travelogue with Kea Bapela

Joining us on Travelogue is Kea Bapela, a multifaceted creative, entrepreneur, and passionate traveller who has visited more than 48 countries while helping others explore the world through her travel agency.

As international luxury hospitality brands continue to expand their presence in South Africa from developments linked to Hilton in KwaZulu-Natal to new high-end hotel projects in Cape Town and Johannesburg the travel industry is entering a fascinating new chapter. But as luxury offerings grow, an important question remains: what are today's travellers truly seeking?

In this episode, Kea shares her insights on the evolution of luxury travel, the growing demand for meaningful and immersive experiences, and how modern travellers are balancing comfort, authenticity, and cultural connection. We also explore what South Africa's changing hospitality landscape reveals about broader global travel trends and how the industry is adapting to meet the expectations of a new generation of explorers.

Tune in for an engaging conversation on the future of travel, the changing definition of luxury, and why memorable experiences may be the most valuable currency of all. ✈️🌍🎙️
