Driving the Stellenbosch Experience

First Car Rental provides official transport solutions to #Stellenblog week

Stellenbosch Experience

April 2016 - From 18 to 22 April 2016, six well-known international and local travel, lifestyle and food bloggers will descend on Stellenbosch as part of the Stellenbosch Experience, an annual tourism initiative to raise global awareness of the region as a world-class travel destination.

First Car Rental is the official transport solutions provider for the 2016 Stellenbosch Experience #Stellenblog and is proud to be a gold sponsor in this initiative.

The bloggers will be introduced to Stellenbosch's diverse food, wine, adventure, art, design, shopping and history. They'll then share their unique stories with their global audiences creating inbound local and international tourism into the area.

The campaign, developed by Destinate in partnership with Stellenbosch Wine Routes and Stellenbosch 360, is a powerful way to generate unique, targeted content that is read by millions of people worldwide.

Meet the six bloggers:

This year, the bloggers will be staying at a secret villa on a Stellenbosch wine farm and be given the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Stellenbosch way of life. Tailor-made itineraries have been designed around each blogger and their readership, and each day will involve a few surprise elements, which aims to challenge the traditional perceptions of Stellenbosch.
