In this episode we catch up with Bheki Dube, the founder and CEO of Curocity, a network of African design hostels with locations in Johannesburg, Durban and most recently Cape Town. Bheki is an award winning entrepreneur being named Best Tourism Entrepreneur at the 2020 Tropics Business Summit, and at 28 years old is one of the few Black hotel owners in Cape Town. Bheki talks with us about his background and the story behind Curiocity (2:25), the challenges for Black hotel and property owners in South Africa (12:45), misconceptions about Cape Town and the realities of South Africa (21:30), the future of local tourism post covid (36:15), plus his thoughts on the Black travel movement and why the global diaspora could be the next threat to local business.
