Young Batswana enter travel & tours industry
Travel Agency tour and Safaris Company Agneau African Tours and Safaris (AATAS) is the brainchild of two young men who were driven by passion to start the business venture.Agneau is French for lamb, which trans- lates to the gentle nature that Katlego Raboloko and Koolopile Moalafi associate with their com- pany’s customer service. The duo established the company in 2013 and its core objective has always been to elevate the country’s travel and tourism to greater heights. It offers among others, travel services for corporate retreats; team building and tailor made tour packages. The company’s motto is ‘experience our experience,’ which Katlego says is relevant in every way as it complements the passion-filled services they’ve given their clientssince 2013.Another aspect that adds to their company’s growth, is good relationship with their clients, says Raboloko. Recommendations come in handy in their business and they owe their phenomenal growth to this hands-on approach to services. The two men who are in their mid- twenties are different people but when it comes to their business they are on mutual ground. “The travel and tours industry has a lot of potential for growth as it is aligned to tourism, a sector that will greatly boost the economy, our capital city is grow- ing, we are very excited that it is growing at a time when we are in business as well” MoalafiAATAS is based in Riverwalk next to Business Centre Unit 1, and currently has five workers, but aims to recruit more in future. The duo also envisions expanding their horizons to someday offering flight packages for their clients.
