Meet South Africa, Part Two, with South African Tourism and Special Guest Presenter from Wines of South Africa (WOSA)

Kristy Angellotti has been selling, marketing and promoting tourism to Africa for more than a decade. In late 2022, she rejoined South African Tourism as head of trade relations-North America after having spent the past five years working for an industry leading collection of safari lodges and a luxury African tour operator. Angellotti has traveled extensively around South Africa, and the African continent, but has always considered South Africa her home away from home. She feels the country offers an unparalleled variety of world-class tourism experiences for every travel budget, and that everyone should experience the magic of South Africa in their lifetime.
