A Bit of History

During the pandemic, our founder Graeme Watson searched for a word that symbolized the resilience and determination of the tourism industry to rise again. Despite the challenges posed by multiple lockdowns and travel bans, Graeme never lost sight of the potential for the industry to recover and grow.

It was during this time that the word “Kusa” caught his attention. In many cultures, the word symbolises a rising up and a new dawn and Graeme is a firm believer in the phrase “the rising tide raises all ships.” This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Kusa Global.

The story of Kusa Global begins in Durban, South Africa, where Graeme first recognised the need for international tourism businesses to have a representation advantage in the United Kingdom and Europe. With this goal in mind, Graeme decided to create a harmony of international tourism brands under the Kusa Global umbrella.

As Kusa Global continues to expand and grow, we remain steadfast in our belief in the power of tourism to bring joy and connection to people from all walks of life. We are proud to be a part of the industry’s resurgence and look forward to supporting our clients in their own rise to success.
