From We, to I, to Us.

Know Your Tourist is three decades in the making. Our value foundation was forged as two young girls sharing ideas, dreams and sweets under the table at gymnastics class in a small Johannesburg suburb. Growing up our paths diverged greatly as we developed ourselves and gained far too many degrees along the way, from sports science, architecture and planning, to business and tourism. It was our passion for the travel and tourism industry that brought us together again and reignited our friendship. And through this we discovered a shared desire to do things differently. We pulled our resources together and joined forces to inspire change and innovation in everything that we do together as Know Your Tourist.
