About The GSA
The GSA is a travel search portal, trade directory and monthly magazine. We have served the South African travel industry since 1979, helping travel agents, tour operators, corporate travel buyers and PCOs find suppliers, country information and the news shaping the trade.
Anyone can browse our listings, articles and visa guides. Travel professionals get more once their account is approved.
A magazine on the desk of every agent
The GSA Travel Marketing Magazine has been on the South African travel-trade desk since 1979. It is a vital business tool for thousands of agents looking for product, pricing and people across local and international destinations.
A new edition lands every month. You can read the latest issue and the back catalogue on the bookshelf, page by page in your browser.
A directory the trade actually uses
Hundreds of listings, organised the way agents work: accommodation and game lodges, airlines, tour operators, car rental, conferencing and PCOs, cruising, foreign exchange and travel insurance.
Suppliers we have known for years, alongside new ones the editorial team brings on each quarter. Approved trade members see direct contact details on every listing; the public sees the listing and its description.
Visa info for 200+ countries
A dedicated visa specialist keeps the country guides current, including downloadable forms where the consulate provides them. It is the part of the site most agents bookmark first.
Pair the visa pages with the country reporting in the magazine and you have a working brief for almost any itinerary you sell.
Workshops and GSA Connect
Beyond the page and the directory we run VIP workshops, regional functions and the GSA Connect programme of competitions, surveys and social engagement. The point is to get agents and suppliers in the same room, sharing the things that don’t make it into a brief.
The annual Take-a-Hike Day on Table Mountain is the one we hear about most.
Open to anyone, deeper for the trade
You don’t need an account to browse listings, read articles or page through the magazine. If you work in travel, an approved trade account unlocks supplier contact details, downloadable forms and trade-only briefings across the directory.
Editorial reviews each application by hand, usually within one business day. Apply for a trade account or sign in if you already have one.
