My Destination Johannesburg is part of the My Destination network. A global network of sites created in 2006 by two young entrepreneurs, James Street & Neil Waller. My Destination is focused on providing websites that offer unrivalled levels of local information, actually written by locals. Each site is run by a team on the ground in each destination who have their fingers on the pulse and are providing real time information. The websites combine accurate information on the local area and businesses with the added usability of an online booking engine, offering travellers a one-stop shop where they can research and book their holiday on a single website.

The websites are fresh and simple in design, with a firm focus on quality and quantity of content. Reviews are always written first-hand and every effort is taken to obtain the best images and information available in order to present a true representation of the services on offer. User-generated content and feedback is also built into the website, building upon content quantity and accuracy; major features of the service we provide.

My Destination continues to go from strength to strength and is always looking for new and exciting destinations to add to the network,so if you would like to join our team and be part of our growing network then click on our logo below to find out more about our business.

Heading up My Destination Johannesburg - Peter Thompson

Peter Thompson has lived in South Africa all his life; most of this time in Johannesburg. He knows the city of Johannesburg intimately and he has watched it grow rapidly since the transformation of South Africa into a democratic society.

Peter has always had a fascination for the outdoors and wildlife, and so he decided to study biology at Universities in South Africa and in Denmark. He finally emerged from Wits University in Johannesburg with a PhD in Entomology, and then he set out to seek gainful employment in industry. Peter ended up working for Bayer and BASF for a total of 30 years, mainly in sales and marketing in Africa. In the later years, Peter became an acknowledged malaria expert, helping to control the malaria epidemic in countries north of South Africa. Having had his fill of corporate life, Peter then left BASF to work for a better boss (himself) in a field that was closer to his interests and yet which could still qualify as being "gainful".

It was at this stage that Peter came across Neil and MyDestination.com, and he realized that the opportunity presented by a Johannesburg website would more than cater for his requirements. He is now enthusiastically putting together his experience, knowledge and new research into MyDestination.com/Johannesburg. This is now the future path for Peter, who is convinced that this is what he should have been doing years ago. However, seeing that MyDestination.com is only a few years old, it probably all worked out best in the end that Peter waited.

"A great team behind a superb product."
