The pact connects 1.3 billion people across 55 countries with a combined gross domestic product (GDP) valued at US$3.4 trillion.

It is free to use, and subscribers pay an annual subscription to list. Originally developed to help hospitality buyers and suppliers find each other, the website has evolved into a platform for all: homes, hotels, offices, government, hospitals, architects, designers, etc.

GREENSTUFF
Our sister website www.greenstuff.co.za links back to the main www.hotelstuff.co.za website and our service has become known as Hotelstuff/Greenstuff. Greenstuff is a directory of green, eco-friendly products and services. Our hidden agenda was to change mindsets and make it easy to 'go green', and ironically and to our delight, this has become the core focus of our work!

Women in Finance and Investment Network is about taking action to bridge a generational gap in our industry. It’s surprising to read about various reports profiling the widening gap between males and females at the apex of the leadership of the Finance and Investment industry, yet with little action. At WIFIN, we aim to address this under-representation of women in the industry with the hope to evolve the public perception of what an expert in these related fields looks like.



With a global network of women in the Finance and Investment space, we strongly believe that such increased visibility of today’s finance and investment female professionals will motivate the next generation of talent to aspire to these roles.

We aim to achieve this objective through series of dialogues, correspondences, webinars, meet-ups, and conferences as well as special programs together with our partners.
