Focus Online Travel

Based in Cape Town, Focus Online Travel is a small agency, founded in 2012, that works exclusively within the luxury travel sector. Its client base includes lodges, safari camps and travel operators across Africa, such as Seasons in Africa, Ilala Lodge, Tuningi Safari Lodge, Love Wild Africa and Kings Camp, and the agency's stated focus is converting online searches into direct bookings rather than bookings routed through third-party travel platforms. The agency's declared services cover search engine optimization, web design and social media marketing, applied specifically to online discovery and conversion for travel brands. Described work includes rebuilding and optimising websites for mobile use, running PPC advertising campaigns aimed at driving direct revenue, and managing social media accounts on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram with content intended to build brand value. For web development clients, the agency reports designing and maintaining full websites alongside marketing material and content creation. Client accounts also mention monthly reporting with analysis of online marketing statistics, and ongoing communication to elaborate on results when requested. The overall approach combines being found through search, presenting a straightforward user experience for prospective guests, and optimising the path from initial site visit through to a completed, paid booking, with campaigns tailored to individual lodges and camps rather than delivered as standardised packages.
