Südafrika-TV–is aimed at bringing not only emotion and passion but also solid information with moving pictures of South Africa closer to the future travellers and to the fans of South Africa. This new online media platform will soon publish a wide variety of exciting news and informative reports about various topics including hotels and lodges in South Africa. Not only will these be posted in traditional copy format but also presented in an innovative and unique video display.
Flying Media, based in NRW / Germany, has been working in the TV and online industry for 10 years and has simultaneously been producing various Destination Channels in the tourism sector. On a Safari-press trip in 2012, the owner and chief editor Sven Klawunder fell in love with the country and, together with an employee of M & M Travel Solutions (Anne Kaiser) from Cape Town, the first steps towards the medium Südafrika-TV were made.
Four months later and the beta version of Südafrika-Tv was presented at the 2013 ITB in Berlin where an hype was quickly established.
In order to remain up-to-date and to actively promote the business in South Africa, Flying Media has employed M&M Travel Solutions, a German Speaking DMC based in Cape Town, as a partner. M&M Travel Solutions’ extensive knowledge, experience and industry relationships can only contribute to the success of this venture. This Southern African DMC supports and organises all activities on site in South Africa and controls the sponsoring of interested South African partners and advertisers in the new online magazine. Flying Media controls the editorial and technical expertise from Germany. Once a month a German camera crew travels to South Africa to produce current material for the contemporary web channel.
The publishing company Ltd. Channelrent.TV., of which Klawunder is a 51% shareholder, will publish and market the magazine online. With the NRW online network and the technology partner ARKM, Flying Media and Channelrent have for many years been working in joint ventures, which guarantees a professional and large-scale placement in the market from the outset.
Craig Marshall, the MD of M&M Travel Solutions, is convinced of the success of this project and has already extended the contract to the "entire Southern Africa". An extension and expansion to countries such as Namibia is already secured and in the planning stages.
