At TAG (Travel Assignment Group), we know that travel is a team sport and our partnerships are what fuel our excellence, spark new opportunities and help us go further, together.
Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming fastjet Megan Wilson & Bathi Jwaaie to TAG HQ — bringing with them energy, insight and a bold yellow pen (a sunny reminder that sometimes the smallest touches speak volumes).
Hot Off the Press: New Route Alert!
Fastjet Zimbabwe, the award-winning airline, has officially announced a new domestic route launching:
Bulawayo to Victoria Falls
️ Starting Friday, 08 August 2025
Operates: Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun
️ Fleet: Comfortable, efficient Embraer jets
This is more than just a route – it’s a connector of people, places and purpose. A celebration of Zimbabwe’s rich tourism potential and manufacturing power. An outcome of collaboration, research and thoughtful engagement in our ever-evolving industry.
As July draws to a close (how fast did this month fly?!), here’s your TAG Tip for the Week: Master the Power of the Pen:
Write what matters.
Draw from personal experience.
Be honest.
Be patient, persistent & consistent.
Use it to connect, appreciate & uplift.
Take a moment this week to pen a quick note of appreciation ~ to a supplier, a client, a mentor or teammate who makes your world better. In travel and in life, partnerships matter. To our industry partners, like Fastjet – thank you for the trust, alignment and drive to keep improving the experience for our travellers. Together, we build better.
✨ Travel Togetherness — Together We Fly
Let’s inspire. Let’s collaborate. Let’s keep writing this beautiful journey.
