Setting the Standard for Adventure Tourism in Southern Africa: Webinar Recording & Resources

Thank you to everyone who joined SATSA’s recent webinar introducing our newly launched Adventure Tourism Self-Regulation Resources and Self-Assessment Tool. Bringing together operators, industry partners, and stakeholders from across the region, the session outlined SATSA’s continued efforts to position Southern Africa as the world’s leading adventure tourism destination – underpinned by safety, sustainability, and operational integrity.

• How to use the Self-Assessment Tool to benchmark your operation
• Free-to-access resources including SOPs, safety checklists, and risk management templates

Why It Matters:

This initiative is part of SATSA’s broader commitment to elevate the standards of adventure tourism in Southern Africa. Developed in close collaboration with operators and technical experts, the toolkit provides a practical, phased approach to self-regulation that is both achievable and internationally recognised.

The goal is not only to enhance operational practices but to create a unified, industry-led benchmark that raises confidence among travellers, trade partners, and regulatory bodies alike.

Whether you’re already operating at a high standard or looking to identify areas for improvement, this is an invaluable opportunity to align your business with global best practice – at no cost.
