This Tourism Week is my on-line commentary and discussion about tourism in South Africa. And “I” am Martin Hatchuel, a Barefoot Writer living in Knysna on the Garden Route Coast – one of South Africa’s tourism hotspots. And, with too many years’ experience in the tourism industry and even more as a tourism writer, I’m more than qualified to say my say.
I offer services like:
- Copy writing (but I prefer just to call it writing)
- Strategic planning
- Marketing ideas
- Print material design and layout
- And that kind of stuff…

The last publisher who rejected said it was “a new departure for South African literature” and “a work like Paulo Coelho’s” – but she decided not to publish it anyway. So I decided – Screw It, Let’s Publish It – apologies, Mr Branson – and I registered a Creative Commons License and now it’s available on Amazon. Enjoy)
