SATSA and Kiyoh Join Forces to Empower Tourism Businesses with Enhanced Trust and Digital Visibility
Press Release by SATSA, 5 August 2025
SATSA is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Kiyoh, a globally respected customer review platform. This collaboration is set to significantly boost SATSA members’ digital marketing efforts and build long-term credibility with customers.
As part of this exciting collaboration, SATSA members will enjoy an exclusive 10% discount on any Kiyoh review package — a meaningful benefit aimed at helping tourism businesses cultivate their online reputation, boost search engine visibility, and convert satisfied customers into powerful brand advocates.
In an era where travellers rely heavily on peer feedback and online trust signals, verified reviews are no longer optional — they’re essential. With 92% of customers consulting reviews before making a purchase, and Google prioritising review-rich content, investing in your online reputation is crucial for future success.
"We're thrilled to partner with SATSA and empower Southern African tourism businesses to build greater trust and visibility through the authentic voices of their customers," says Chantal Oosthuizen, Branch Manager at Kiyoh SA. This partnership is a significant step towards helping members strengthen their online reputation and unlock new growth opportunities in an increasingly digital world."
Kiyoh is renowned for its user-friendly platform, outstanding customer support, and its proven ability to deliver rapid, measurable results. Clients often see a 35% increase in click-through rates and first-page Google visibility within just two weeks. Whether you’re a tour operator, destination management company (DMC), or accommodation provider, this partnership offers a practical and accessible way to futureproof your business in an increasingly competitive digital environment.
“At SATSA, we’re committed to connecting our members with benefits that genuinely support and grow their businesses. Partnering with Kiyoh SA made complete sense — buying behaviours have shifted, and today’s clients place a great deal of trust in recommendations and peer reviews when making travel decisions. As champions of credible tourism products and services, we see verified reviews as a powerful tool for reinforcing that credibility,” says Hannelie du Toit, COO of SATSA.
“This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to identifying solutions that add real, measurable value. We’re focused on helping our members stay agile, competitive, and sustainable in a rapidly changing environment — and Kiyoh fits that brief,” du Toit concludes.
Kiyoh will be hosting a webinar for SATSA members on 19 August 2025 at 12h00. Details on how to register will be shared soon.
