With over 25 years’ experience in the promotion and marketing of South African cultural products to international audiences, Luke began marketing South Africa in the early 1990’s, presenting pan-African  arts and craft products in gift and trade shows in Germany, France and Italy. Over the years, Luke has focused on the United States market for African arts and crafts, and has built up an extensive business network and client base in California, especially within the African American community.

African Angel Tours (AAT) then shifted focus towards the growing tourism industry.
