In the December edition we look at the tourism potential of BRICS nations, join the Creole people in celebrating their unique culture at the Seychelles 2013 Festival Kreol and provide useful tips for vehicle recovery when driving off road in Africa's harsh terrain.

In the May edition of Tourism Tattler, we discuss Adventure Tourism - a sector of the travel industry that our May edition cover sponsor, SATIB Insurance Brokers have specialised in for many years. Our feature editorials include Botswana as a RETOSA Transfrontier Conservation Area (pages 16 - 17), Kenya's remote archipelago of Lamu Island, where the local people have a long established tradition of welcoming travellers (pages 18 - 23), and the 2014 Seychelles Carnaval de Victoria event (pages 24 - 25). Our Hospitality Review features Toad Tree Lodge in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (pages 26 - 27), while our Niche Tourism section features the potential of Space Tourism (pages 32 - 33). Regular features include 'things that mentally strong entrepreneurs don't do' (page 09), the SATSA MIR on the latest inbound travel and hotel occupancy statistics (page 10) and the Tourism Business Index Report for the first quarter of 2014 (page 12). The Photography section covers Depth Of Field (page 35) and the Risk section looks at Kidnap and Ransom insurance.
