Important Update for South African Airways Travelers! Due to ongoing pilot strike action, many FlySAA flights are being affected, including domestic and regional routes. If you’re traveling during this busy period, be sure to check for updates, consider rebooking options, and arrive earlier than usual to avoid disruptions or delays. While the strike will directly affect SAA passengers, delays may also impact travellers with other airlines due to airport congestion.   For more details on how this may impact your business travel plans, read the full article below. #MyResidence #TravelUpdate #SAA #FlightDisruptions #BusinessTravel https://lnkd.in/dkgyUj_Z

We came across this insightful article and wanted to share it - https://bit.ly/3NSz6s6. While the growing presence of women in the business travel sector is undeniable, gender equity remains a challenge, particularly at senior levels. As the industry evolves, it’s crucial to focus on creating leadership development opportunities and fostering inclusivity at all levels.

On Monday myresidence attended a technology exhibition hosted by our technology partner, Octoco, in Stellenbosch, South Africa where we shared our tech development journey with fellow exhibitors and the Netherlands investment team present.
