" Our former name, CC Africa, was far from ideal," said Nicky Fitzgerald, Group Marketing Director of andBEYOND. " The word ' Africa' no longer accurately refl ected the company's operating regions. And research indicated that, while ' Conservation' was an important value, it was not a primary motivator for fi rst time guests. While the word ' Corporation' was something of a dampener because no one wants to go on holiday with a corporation!" she added. Capital gain Mushara Outpost's dining room.
