Matrics Tour To Cape Town

First GLA Matrics Exploring Cape Town
On Friday, 23 March 2012, twelve Tourism students from Global Leadership Academy left Jeffrey's Bay for yet another adventure.
The students were given the opportunity to arrange their own tour in 2010 and since then travelling once a year became a must. The exposure of the industry and it's wide range of sectors is necessary as they are on the brink of making important decisions regarding their futures.
Cape Town was the destination and for a number of the students it was a first. Before we arrived there they stopped at one of the most beautiful campuses in South Africa, the NMMU in George. They were informed about the possibilities available to them and how to grab on to them.
In Cape Town they had the misfortune of someone breaking into the backpackers and stealing one scholar's clothes. It did not at all spoil their fun and activities like visiting Robben Island, celebrating with the Cape Town Carnival, going to Ratanga Junction, experiencing Table Mountain, using the public trains, going up to Cape Point, ice skating at Grand West Casino, relaxing at the Waterfront and riding on Africa's only Toboggan Track at Cool Runnings. These experiences colored in their true picture of the incredible Cape Town.
They also had the pleasure of enjoying Stellenbosch and the surrounding areas by doing a cheese and wine testing.
Cape Town is a true example of successful tourism in South Africa but the journey did not just expose them to that, it showed them a true bit of life.
