2011-01-11 : TRAVEL ON THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Whether we like it or not, joining the different Social Media on the Internet is the new trend and BelAfrique has joined in. BelAfrique Twitters, has a Face Book Profile, is on LinkedIn and is incredibly impressed by the latest version of Google Translate which translates any page of the BelAfrique Website into the language of your choice! It will make you feel more familiar when I put my spell on you whilst you are reading about visiting Southern Africa. BelAfrique is even more multilingual than before! Play a little game with us in our last story about shark spotting and rate yourself on your Social Media IQ

• Firstly it’s my passion that is also my job so I tend to know what’s going on and I love sharing my knowledge the beauty of this continent with you. Do you wish a more personal contact? It’s possible. Do you like a more businesslike approach? I’ve been told, I’ve developed quite a knack of recognizing that quiet quickly after 1 or two emails
• Booking through BelAfrique is NEVER more expensive than going direct to the hotels. I have special agreements with the hotels & you may even be cheaper off through BelAfrique. Do the test and compare
• I share with you our 15 years experience of a reasonably "small” area.
• I'm daily updated with what’s going on in the industry
• I travel as much as possible to know the places personally and often know the reservation people, the hotel reps etc… This is MY JOB
• BelAfrique AKA Isabelle Dechamps is on the spot, I know a lot of the locals personally & who to contact, whether you need a reliable taxi driver or a contact at the embassy or merely a suggestion on where to have dinner
• When using more than 1 hotel, definitely less International bank charges
• Have a look at the referrals on LinkedIn for word of mouth references

Reason enough I say to just contact BelAfrique your personal travel planner
