One of the accommodation groups that we chose for our experience in South Africa is Antrim Collection (consisting of Antrim House, Villa, and Apartments).
They are nestled in the heart of Green Point in Cape Town and we chose them because of their focus on social and environmental sustainability and impact. Most notably, they have a shared profit and ownership structure that can offer a positive model for many tourism businesses.
This structure includes transparent profit sharing, an employee ownership program, inclusive decision-making, fair wages and benefits, and professional development opportunities. The employee ownership program allows employees to become shareholders and directly benefit from the financial value created by the business. Each year, a percentage of profits is also shared with employees in the form of bonuses. Outside of this, Antrim commits to fair wages and opportunities for professional development.
The inclusive, collegial, and collective nature of their work can be felt when you stay with them.
In South Africa, economic equality is an ongoing challenge, and initiatives such as these offer a pathway for positive change.
