About The GSA
The GSA has been a fixture in the South African travel industry for over 45 years, evolving with the times throughout. We are a travel search portal, trade directory and monthly digital magazine that has helped travel agents, tour operators, corporate travel buyers and professional conference organisers since 1979. From local and national tourism information to international travel resources and the latest news shaping the trade, we are all things travel.
Anyone can browse our listings, articles and visa guides. Travel professionals get more once their account is approved.
A Magazine on the Desk of Every Agent
The GSA Preferred Supplier Portfolio has been on the desks of the South African travel-trade industry for decades. Showcasing products, pricing and people across cities, provinces, countries and continents, this magazine serves as a pivotal business tool for thousands of agents far and wide.
Read our newest monthly edition, as well as previous ones, easier than ever before through our online bookshelf.
A Directory that the Trade Actually Uses
Hundreds of listings, organised the way agents work. Accommodation and game lodges, airlines, tour operators, car rental, conferencing, cruising, foreign exchange and travel insurance: all for your use.
And at the centre of this, trusted suppliers we have known for years, alongside new ones that the editorial team brings on each quarter. Whilst the public sees the listing and its description, approved trade members see trade specific contacts & details, closing the gap between industry professionals.
Visa Information for 200+ Countries
Our dedicated visa specialist keeps the country guides current. From visa requirements to the best time of year to travel, our extensive, up-to-date country guides are the part of the site most agents bookmark first.
Pair the visa pages with the country reporting in the magazine and you have a working brief for almost any itinerary you sell. Any country you can imagine, no stone left unturned.
Workshops and Events
Beyond the screen, the GSA hosts VIP workshops across the country, creating a space for agents and suppliers to meet across the aisle, sharing the things that don’t usually make it into the brief. Our events are curated to bring you a host of suppliers that represent a variety of travel segments.
Stay up to date on where you can meet the travel trade by visiting our events page.
Open to All. Built for the Trade.
You don’t need an account to browse listings, read articles or page through the magazine, however, if you work in travel, an approved trade account unlocks supplier contact details, downloadable forms and trade-only briefings across the directory.
We go the extra mile to ensure industry professionals get direct, exclusive trade information.
Editorial reviews each registration by hand, usually within one business day. Apply for a free trade account or sign in if you already have one.
