Tourism Radio travel guides are available free of charge at Hertz locations at the Cape Town International Airport and in downtown Cape Town, says the report.

“We’ve seen continued growth in the number of tourists visiting South Africa, and we expect the 2013/2014 peak to show record numbers,” Tourism Radio CEO Mark Allewell told TravelDailyNews International. “Hertz remains a key partner in our goal to provide self-drive tourists with relevant, useful and entertaining information about the area around.”
