The SATSA 'This is Us' 2024 Conference provided a platform for storytelling and shared experiences.

Jessica Smit’s remarkable journey from volunteer to a key player in South Africa’s tourism sector highlights her unwavering passion for sustainable travel and community empowerment. Starting her career with a desire to make a difference, Jessica has become a champion for responsible tourism, working closely with local communities to ensure that tourism benefits those who need it most. Her dedication to environmental conservation and her hands-on approach to uplifting the industry serve as an inspiration to many.

Jessica’s story is one of adventure, perseverance, and passion. It began with her travels across Greece, Cyprus, and Gran Canaria, and led to her leadership role at White Shark Projects, a marine conservation and tourism organisation in South Africa. Like many in the tourism industry, her path wasn’t linear—it was shaped by life choices, volunteerism, and a deep love for wildlife and conservation.
