Gondwana Collection and Namibia Tourism Board: A Vision for Future Tourism
In a recent meeting that signals a promising future for travel in Namibia, the Gondwana Collection joined forces with the Namibia Tourism Board (NTB) to discuss the trajectory of Namibian tourism. This collaborative gathering focused not only on the vibrant opportunities that lie within the country’s diverse landscapes but also on the collective actions necessary from various stakeholders to elevate Namibia’s tourism sector to new heights.
During their discussions, the parties delved into how they can align their efforts with Namibia’s sixth National Development Plan (NDP6), rolled out under the visionary leadership of the President. This ambitious plan aims to foster economic growth and boost various sectors, with tourism serving as a key pillar. The emphasis was placed on the importance of community involvement, sustainable practices, and innovative strategies to attract both international and local tourists.

The Gondwana Collection, known for its commitment to environmental responsibility and community engagement, is strategically positioned to lead the charge in promoting these beautiful destinations.
Furthermore, the conversations highlighted the significance of promoting Namibia as a safe and welcoming destination for tourists, showcasing the warmth and hospitality of its people. The stakeholders acknowledged the critical role that marketing plays in this regard, and a concerted effort will be needed to enhance Namibia’s presence on the global tourism map.
As discussions continue, the optimism in the room was palpable. Stakeholders are motivated to collaborate, realizing that the future of Namibian tourism lies in unity and shared vision.
