Leading German Instagramer, Sebastian Spasics and Thomas Cook Social
Media Manager, Martin Widenka joined the group to share tips on social
media.

Claudia Schulze, Product Manager: South Africa at Thomas Cook, and

destination.

The campaign aims to inspire travel agents to sell SA and to engage in
marketing trends using social media channels. A larger campaign will
follow in January and will have sales offers for booking an SA holiday.
