Green Seats for Africa

Since inception in 2012, Tourvest DMCs Green Seat initiative has donated over R510 000 towards anti- rhino poaching, R216 000 towards reforestation, and R84 000 to the community project that produces the Green Seat client badges.

Green Seat is included in all guided tours and can also be added to tailor-made itineraries on request. Guests receive a Green Seat Badge as a token of thanks from their tour guide or in their travel documentation pack.

These accumulated funds are distributed 100% to accredited partners. The most recent partner to the Green Seat portfolio, EWT, rounds out contribution efforts towards a more sustainable South Africa, by adding community projects to develop disadvantaged communities.

Now, with the purchase of a Green Seat guests travelling with Tourvest DMC will contribute towards creating EcoBricks, which are currently being used at two primary schools outside of Johannesburg to demarcate vegetable gardens, play areas and build benches for the children to sit on during breaks.

Green Seat purchases also now contribute towards EWT’s anti-poaching unit which trains Tourvest DMC’s adopted Conservation Canine’s, Fury and Pirate, to detect rhino horns, elephant ivory, firearms and ammunition.
