CWW Expands Global Reach with Wins in South Africa, South Korea & GCC

August 5, 2025

Connect Worldwide is excited to announce three exciting developments that highlight the company’s continued global expansion and strategic growth.

CWW’s long-standing relationship with Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts has been extended to the South African market, after successful collaborations in markets including Europe and Asia. The South African office, led by Ross Kata, Managing Director of CWW South Africa, will be responsible for driving new opportunities and enhancing visibility for Jumeirah across the region.

Travel Oregon has selected Connect Worldwide as its international destination representative in South Korea. This partnership reflects CWW’s continued success in connecting U.S. destinations with outbound Asian markets, leveraging local expertise to support travel trade engagement, media outreach, and partnership growth.
