Che Watson: From Waiter to Travel Guru

At 38 years old, Che Watson’s story is an inspiration. From a young age, his drive and determination to succeed fueled his remarkable journey. Despite challenges, Che’s passion and dedication led him to become the proud owner of Wanderer Tours and Travel in Cape Town. Let’s delve into his path to success.

Born and raised in South Africa, Che started his career at 16 as a waiter. The hospitality industry instilled in him the value of hard work and honed his customer service skills. Yearning for more, he took a leap of faith at 19 and moved to the UK.

The UK years saw Che as a door-to-door salesman for four years. This experience not only sharpened his sales and communication skills, but also exposed him to diverse cultures and built a valuable network. For the next two years, he shifted gears and became a nightclub promoter, organizing popular events.

At 26, Che returned to Cape Town. He ventured into corporate advertising for two years, where his sales skills and creativity thrived. However, his entrepreneurial spirit couldn’t be contained. In 2013, he took the leap and opened Swat Online, his own online marketing company.

Swat Online’s success was swift. In 2018, Che decided to sell and embark on a new adventure. Fueled by a passion for travel and a desire to showcase his home country’s beauty, he opened Wanderer Tours and Travel. In just a few years, the company has become a reputable name in the travel industry, offering unique and personalized tours.

Che’s journey exemplifies the power of passion and determination. He has proven that success is attainable with hard work, dedication, and a never-give-up attitude. Today, Wanderer Tours and Travel is a top-rated company, and Che remains dedicated to providing exceptional service and unforgettable experiences for his clients. His story serves as an inspiration, proving that with dedication and hard work, anything is possible.

Jihaan Esau: From Customer Service to Travel Administration

Jihaan Esau, 19, born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, has always been curious about the tourism industry and what it would be like to work for a travel company. As I approached my matric year in 2023, my interest grew even stronger, and I found myself eager to learn more about the world of tourism. The idea of helping people explore new places, experience different cultures, and create lasting memories fascinated me. I knew that pursuing a career in this field would not only allow me to discover more about my own country but also give me the opportunity to be part of an industry that connects people from all walks of life.

I became deeply interested in my father’s work as a guide for Wanderer Tours. His passion for the job and the way he described the unique experiences of working in the tourism industry fascinated me. He took the time to help me understand everything about the company and the exciting opportunities it offered. Inspired by his enthusiasm, I started researching Wanderer Tours, eager to learn more about what it was like to be working for Wanderer Tours and the experiences that came with it.

In mid-October 2024, my father called me with exciting news: I was going to start my job and should come in. Stepping into the role, I began working at the hotel in customer service, a completely new experience for me. As an introvert, it was challenging to step out of my comfort zone and interact with people constantly. Talking to clients, handling their needs, and ensuring their satisfaction pushed me beyond my usual boundaries. Despite the initial struggle, I knew this was an opportunity for growth, and I was determined to adapt and improve.

After two months of working for Wanderer Tours, I was given the opportunity to move up and work in the office alongside the rest of the team. This new role brought a fresh set of challenges as I transitioned into handling bookings and making calls. It was a significant shift from my previous position in customer service, requiring me to develop better communication skills and a stronger attention to detail. Although it was initially intimidating, I embraced the change, eager to learn and grow within the company.

Today, working for Wanderer Tours, I can truly say that the past five months have been an incredible journey. Stepping into the role of assistant administrator has given me the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. Speaking with clients, helping them experience different countries and cultures, and managing bookings have all been rewarding experiences that have boosted my confidence. I am grateful to Wanderer Tours for not only giving me this opportunity but also for shaping me into a more skilled and self-assured individual. I look forward to learning even more and continuing to grow in this exciting industry.
