Zulu Kingdom & Thebe Tourism Launches Reality Show

The Zulu Kingdom in conjunction with Thebe Tourism Group hosted the much anticipated launch of reality TV show, Holiday Swap KZN on 28 January 2015. Attendees were instantly transported to the Zulu Kingdom. They were welcomed by the enthusiastic sounds of Drum Café who truly encapsulated the mood of the occasion through their lively beats and energetic spirit.

The evening was officiated by Holiday Swap host, Nomzamo Mbatha, who echoed Chief Executive Officer of Tourism KwaZulu-Natal Ndabo Khoza’s sentiments that through such initiatives the KwaZulu-Natal brand was being built. Khoza addressed guests emphasising the importance of reviving the manner in which tourism is promoted not just to foreign travellers but to the domestic market as well.

The show will not only showcase the beauty of the Zulu Kingdom but it aims to democratise and make it both accessible and affordable. Evetually, travel will not be seen as a luxury to be enjoyed by a few. The buying of holiday packages is made through the Flightsite platform, a Club Travel subsidiary. The purchasing of transaction is done through an innovative payment Thebe Travel Card. With the card, travellers can choose to get a loan or to lay-bye their dream holiday.

Media and guests were introduced to the teams and had the opportunity to mingle with some of KZN’s greatest exports from the likes of DJ Tira to Zakes Bantwini; who can also be seen in some of the episodes of the show.

Holiday Swap officially aired on 09 February 2015, on SABC 1. Be sure to tune in to future episodes.
