Destinate Solutions Pty Ltd

Destinate is a bespoke destination management and tourism marketing agency established in 2013 by Mariette du Toit-Helmbold after ten years as CEO of Cape Town Tourism. We develop and help implement strategy, build brands, market destinations and connect people with great brands and destinations (often over good food and wine).

We do travel differently. Working with a range of local properties, small tourism operators and local tourism companies, we create unique travel experiences for the conscious traveler. Our curated travel experiences and packages are all about making real connections with people and places, sharing their stories and contributing to the greater good in one way or another.

We’re also passionate about supporting local makers, designers and creatives. You’ll find an array of articles and personal recommendations crafted around proudly ethical African products in our Style section. Meeting the makers, whether that be local designers, artists, chefs, cooks or winemakers are some of the most memorable moments of travel. Through Destinate Style we are connecting the makers directly with our guests and online audiences, telling the stories of Africa and giving travelers the opportunity to experience carefully curated local products and design pieces.
