Welcome World Development Project

Project details

Partner(s):

‘Welcome World' was developed in partnership with SAA and interaction with a community based tourism organisation called Isithumba. Isithumba was created in the 1000 hills area of KZN to encourage tourists to visit the area and benefit from a rich local cultural experience. The centre provides accommodation, conference services as well as a wide range of traditional experiences from historic walks, village experiences, craft, ceremonies, dancing and storytelling. Isithumba was a great help to the Wings of Welcome development team, as it provided a vibrant environment to test and improve game components that ultimately maximised the simulation power of the training platform.

Our Involvement:

SAIE managed the development team and managed the project, making sure all development work met the objectives of the project and the core need areas identified.

Project Progress:

The ‘Welcome World’ project is complete and is already being used in a number of tourism organisations countrywide including Isithumba, KZN Tourism, Cape Tourism and Stellenbosch Tourism. It has also received rave reviews from a number of tourism offices countrywide.

Development Projects

Through the process of project implementation and continuous reflections derived from evaluations, SAIE is constantly faced with opportunities to develop further innovative entrepreneurship solutions to challenging developmental and educational problems. In the past this has resulted in the internationally used BEST Game, AgriPlanner and AgriPlan-It, the BusinessVENTURES range and the Wings of Welcome tourism program. Once a development process is completed and a new product is created, it is then used in the course of our project implementation.
