Grosvenor Conferences is headed by a dynamic team of experts and our collective expertise provides our clients with a unique blend of professionals who truly understand the South African travel and conference industry.
Grosvenor Conferences is a subsidiary of Grosvenor Tours and a division of Cullinan Holdings. In 2012 Grosvenor Conferences fused a strategic partnership with Imfunzelelo Conference Specialist, subsequently offering our valued customers a one stop solution for planning and execution of their planned association events.
Originally established in 1901 as a diamond mining company, Cullinan Holdings Limited has since evolved into one of South Africa’s leading Tourism and Leisure Groups.
The Group’s interests include Grosvenor Conferences, Grosvenor Tours, Grosvenor Incentives, Springbok Atlas Tours & Safaris, Thompsons Africa and Thompsons Holidays who collectively for more than 70 years have been South Africa’s leading tour operators providing quality and value tours for visitors from around the Globe into South Africa, as well providing holidays to South Africans to destinations in Africa and around the world.
The Group’s Travel Retail Business in South Africa includes well known travel agency chains Pentravel and Thompsons Leisure, both which have retail agencies located throughout South Africa.
The Group’s transportation division, Cullinan Transport Services, includes three of South Africa’s leading transportation companies being Springbok Atlas Luxury Charter, Hylton Ross and iKapa. These three companies provide transportation services as well as day tours throughout South Africa, Namibia, Chobe, Zimbabwe and Zambia. These services include full coach services, VIP transportation, sightseeing tours and safari vehicles.
Social Responsibility
As an organization that showcases the beauty of this region, it is vital to our integrity as a Southern African Meeting Planner to give back to the communities, the environment and the spirits of the people and places that make this a top holiday destination.
We make Responsible Tourism possible for our clients who genuinely want to gain unique insights, make authentic connections and contribute positively to improving people’s lives. Community and cultural visits and activities offer guests meaningful, and often, life-enriching experiences.
Our social initiative has grown roots in a variety of regions, and has cultivated itself across a diverse range of issues. We’re especially proud of programs and partnerships we’ve been able to create between those that need it most, ourselves, and our clients. We take the utmost pride in combining the uplifting and inspiring elements of the tourism industry with a cultural experience that not only informs visitors about the reality of South Africa lifestyle, but also allows them to interact in a beneficial and lasting way.
TREADRIGHT FOUNDATION
One of the initiatives we support is TreadRight, a not-for-profit foundation established by The Travel Corporation’s (TTC) family of brands. The TreadRight Foundation encourages sustainable tourism by ensuring that the people, wildlife and environment we love to visit remain protected and beautiful for many generations to come. We believe in preserving the natural attractions and unique heritages that are distinct for each region by providing grants to organizations that promote sustainability in varied destinations. So far, the TreadRight Foundation has supported over 50 sustainable tourism projects around the world.
