Our mantra is growth. We would encourage this concept in every area we touch. People development is our current focus. The Travel Innovation Development Hub will provide many talented, aspiring IT programmers the opportunity to learn and grow in the IT and travel industry.

travelcenter.africa® believes in knowledge sharing and skills transfer in the community it operates in, which parallels perfectly with black empowerment initiatives promoted in Africa. Aligned to this philosophy, we have created a virtual Travel Innovation Development Hub across sub-Saharan Africa. The hub will have two main purposes:

  • To expose local youth across the region to software development in the travel industry, with the view of training and supporting local young entrepreneurs.
  • Use the hub and the diverse youth to create innovative travel software solutions to meet the unique requirements of travel in sub-Saharan Africa.
  • If any of the developments created by these trainees can be commercialized, travelcenter.africa® will roll the software out to its customers and remunerate the young developer through this process.

This virtual hub will give an opportunity to young, ambitious local individuals across the region who are looking to get started in the travel software development arena, giving Sub Saharan Africa the opportunity to creatively resolve their own travel problems across the region
