In 1978 the Company's founder, Jan Watkinson, immigrated from New Zealand to South Africa's Western Cape. In 1980 Jan founded Westwood Travel, a leading retail travel agency. In 1988 Westwood Travel was the first company in South Africa to obtain visas for South Africans to travel to China.
Far East Tours was born with Jan and her colleagues leading small group tours to China and other European and Asian destinations. Within a couple of years the company was offering tailor-made holidays to China and the Far East, Russia and the Indian subcontinent. Over the past few years Far East Tours has grown steadily through word of mouth as many of our travellers have returned to us for another trip, and recommended us to friends.
This convinced us of the need to expand into South America, an area that we know well and has long fascinated us and many South African travellers. This necessitated a special division of our Company to be set up and consequently ICAN Holidays was born.
Today, as we expand beyond Asia and into South America and other world-wide destinations, the fundamental pillars upon which we began remain as important today as ever with expert first hand knowledge, attention to detail, personal service and value for money being paramount.
