Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

The owner is a Trustee and the treasurer of the Tourism Community Development Trust (TCDT) and is actively involved in the operations thereof.  The TCDT’s objective is to make a difference at grass roots level in South Africa’s communities by consolidating the fundraising and social investment efforts of companies within the South African Tourism industry. The TCD Trust is a registered non-profit organisation.

Charity Bin

For many of guests it is the end of the road and their last stop before heading home so they often have clothes that they don’t wish to take back home with them (sometimes also the result of buying too many African curios).  The well-placed charity bin is therefore often full and all donations are gratefully received by various charities in need.  Ashanti is also a founding member of The Tourism Community Development Trust which also benefits from these donations.
