Cape Town, South Africa—11th April 2024—Alliance Strategies, a global leader in cultural exchange programs through its Alliance Abroad and GeoVisions brands, is proud to announce the fifth anniversary of its South African hub, a milestone marked by substantial growth and sustained success. Launched in 2019 with just five staff members, the Cape Town office has expanded to a robust team of nearly 50 dedicated professionals.

Their efforts are pivotal in successfully supporting nearly 15,000 annual participants in cultural exchange programs across the USA, Spain, and Australia.
The Cape Town team not only contributes to global operations but also actively embodies the core values of Alliance Strategies through regular participation in local volunteer and charitable activities. This commitment enhances the community and reinforces the positive impact of the hub on a local and global scale.
James Bell, CEO of Alliance Strategies, expressed his pride in the team’s achievements: “Celebrating five years of our South African hub is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team in Cape Town.
