Five minutes with Erica Smit - Asset Protection Manager

1.  What inspired you to work in the travel industry?

      I have grown up having an interest in the travel industry so when I finished school, I enrolled onto a course that taught students how to become a flight/tour
      operator and I was immediately hooked!

2.   What do you enjoy the most in your role here at Tourvest Retail Services?

        I joined the company in 2008, so 15 years ago now! The daily challenge back then and still is, flight retail services but the people I work with are amazing
        and I enjoy the complexity of the daily challenges.

3.    What do you enjoy the most about working in travel in general?

        Sometimes I find myself people-watching and wondering where they are going, who with and whether for work or for pleasure. People travel for all sorts of
        reasons, and I find this very fascinating. 

4.    What is your favourite travel destination?

        It has to be Mauritius! My top three favourite things to do there are simply taking scenic strolls along the beach, viewing the birdlife, and then indulging at
        the hotel buffet. 

5.    What do you enjoy doing outside work?

        I currently live in Gauteng but I also have family that live on a bush farm , which I visit every 2 months. I love the bush here in South Africa and I also watch
        wild earth documentaries regularly.
