CapeNature offers reduced rates for Black Friday 2020
Just in time to take advantage of the upcoming summer season, CapeNature is pleased to announce reduced rates to mark Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Online users will receive a 40% discount off getaways at selected reserve accommodation and camping facilities.
Minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, Mr. Anton Bredell says, “The discount presents a huge relief for locals wanting to travel and support the local tourism economy after months of lockdown and financial strain in the tourism sector.”
With access to nature reserves being a priority for the entity, all visitors are encouraged to get back into nature and to make use of the 40% off offering. A reminder that all visitors will need to register a profile on the online portal at booking.capenature.co.za to view this fantastic special which will go LIVE from 00:00 on Friday, 27 November 2020 and again at 00:00 on Monday, 30 November 2020.
Dr. Razeena Omar, CapeNature Chief Executive Officer, reiterated, “We’re looking forward to offering the Black Friday deal to our visitors again. Over the last three years CapeNature has witnessed the uptake into the global retail trend. Year-on-year, CapeNature’s online booking portal sales have increased by 26%. Consumers are shopping online more due to the global COVID-19 pandemic concerns and the entity would like to take up this opportunity to strengthen our online offering, by diversifying clientele through affordability. The hope is that people will take up the opportunity to explore the province at these reduced rates, as we know the livelihoods of many South Africans have been severely impacted this year”.
