Your trusted B2B
South Africa DMC.
Discuss your programme V2 Travels Pty Ltd is a Cape Town-based B2B Destination Management Company (DMC) and inbound tour operator specialising in South Africa. Established in July 2016 by Nishang Ashar, V2 Travels was created with a clear purpose: to make it easier for international travel agents, tour operators, wholesalers, destination specialists, corporate travel companies and MICE planners to sell and operate South Africa with confidence.
We are exclusively B2B. We work behind the scenes as your local South African destination partner, allowing our travel-trade partners to focus on selling, marketing and building relationships with their customers while we take responsibility for the destination-side execution. We work as an extension of your team in South Africa.

When challenges happen,
we are there.
When challenges happen, we will be there to help solve them.
That is the responsibility of a true DMC.
Our business has been built on the understanding that travel is unpredictable. Flights change. Guests have special requests. Weather affects activities. Suppliers face operational challenges. Plans evolve.
A good DMC is measured not only by how well things go when everything is perfect, but by how effectively it responds when something doesn't go according to plan.
That is the standard we continuously work towards.
Built around
the travel trade.
V2 Travels is deliberately positioned as a B2B-only South Africa DMC.
We work with:
- International Travel Agents
- Tour Operators
- Wholesalers
- Destination Specialists
- Online Travel Companies
- Corporate Travel Companies
- MICE & Incentive Houses
- Event Management Companies
- Wedding & Celebration Planners
- Group Organisers
- Luxury Travel Designers
- FIT Specialists
- Religious & Special Interest Tour Operators
- Student & Educational Travel Companies
- Sports Travel Organisers
- Overseas DMCs and inbound partners
Our B2B model means our partners retain ownership of their customer relationship while V2 Travels manages the destination execution.
We don't compete with our travel-agent partners for their customers. We work with them to make them successful.
