About Us
We are a team of passionate travel enthusiasts who believe in making travel accessible to everyone. Our platform allows you to create your dream travel itinerary by choosing your desired location, accommodations, tours, and other addons. Suppliers then compete to win your business by bidding with their own offerings. Our mission is to make travel planning easy, fun, and affordable.
Supplier Vetting Process
At TourBiddy, we prioritize the trust and safety of our users. This is why we have implemented a rigorous supplier vetting process to ensure that all suppliers on our platform meet the highest standards of reliability and service quality.
- KYC (Know Your Customer) Verification: We perform KYC checks on all suppliers to verify their identity and business legitimacy.
- Business Registration: We verify if the supplier is registered to conduct business in South Africa.
- VAT Vendor Verification: Suppliers are checked to ensure they are VAT vendors, which adds another layer of credibility.
- Directorship Verification: Through bizportal.gov.za, we confirm the directors associated with the supplier's business entity.
- Contact Details Verification: We verify the supplier's contact details to ensure they are accurate and up to date.
- Domain and Email Verification: If a supplier has their own domain, we verify emails originating from that domain to confirm their authenticity.
- Verification and Activation: Once verified by our admin team, suppliers are marked as verified and active on our platform.
By implementing these stringent verification processes, TourBiddy ensures that our users can book with confidence, knowing that they are selecting from a curated list of reputable and trustworthy suppliers.
