For the first time in its history, Thompsons Touring and Safaris has added a range of sedans to its fleet.
These include a number of new Toyota Corollas, Toyota Avanzas and a Mahindra Xylo. Depending on the vehicle, between three and five passengers can be accommodated with their luggage.
The sedans will be used primarily for transfers in Cape Town and Hazyview. “With our new sedans, we are now able to offer an even more personalised and comfortable service, which we are finding our passengers really enjoy,” says CEO, Linda Pampallis. “This ties in with the demand for private touring options that are proving to be a noticeable trend.”
The new additions are over and above an investment in the overall expansion of the company’s operation by additional 14-seater Toyota Quantums in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.
The company is not only preparing for the extra demand over the 2010 World Cup but is anticipating an overall future increase in tourism business to Southern Africa, following expected growth in economies worldwide over the next few years.
