Welcome to Encounter Welcome to the online version of Encounter Africa... the definitive directory on reputable products for sustainable tourism. As the flagship title of Ocean Rock Media, specialist business-to-business publishers, Encounter Africa provides travel trade professionals with a comprehensive directory of quality African products and service providers who are serious about protecting our natural environment and are committed to social investment. Encounter Africa was created to meet a distinct need in the market for a credible source of one-stop information for travel and tourism trade professionals that at the same time promotes a consciousness of how we treat our environment, our wildlife and our people. Through this directory we also strive to promote a philosophy that sustainable environmental protection is meaningless without accompanying sustainable social investment and development. The Online Edition The online edition of Encounter Africa is a much shortened version of the print edition. In this online directory travel trade professionals will find a large selection of outstanding accommodation options to suit all budgetary and other preferences; tour, safari and adventure operators; and travel and hospitality groups. For more information on these products and services, active links to their own websites are provided. In addition, we also provide here a brief overview with handy information about each of the countries in which these services and products are located. Symbols of Commitment To give expression to our vision, we have devised a system of symbols that reflects the commitment to sustainable eco-friendly and socially responsible tourism of each of the products listed in this directory. These symbols are found with each product profile for easy reference. When a symbol is highlighted, it means the product/service provider applies that particular measure, while a grey symbol indicates non-compliance with that particular measure. The full range of symbols is as follows: |

| Print Edition In our print edition, a copy of which can be ordered from us free of charge by completing our online order form, provides a much more comprehensive directory service to industry professionals. In it all the relevant details of tourism products and service providers are listed in uniform, directory profiles using easy-reference symbols and colour coding, and have been grouped together by regions and countries within Africa. The information contained herein is the result of extensive industry surveys conducted by us. It has therefore been designed and presented in direct response to the specific needs identified by industry professionals themselves. We have also included a number of other handy and informative features, such as a calendar listing all major travel and tourism trade fairs taking place around the world over the next six months; overviews and vital information for each country covered in this directory; informative articles relating to environmentally conscious and socially responsible travel and tourism; and our unique system of environmental and social investment symbols for the various products and services contained in the directory. Encounter Africa, which is published every six months, has come to be recognised as the premier eco-friendly and socially responsible one-stop reference tool for travel and tourism trade professionals. |
