“Namibia’s participation at WTM Africa 2024 serves as an opportunity to showcase the country’s tourism potential, forge partnerships, and drive growth in the travel industry while also promoting sustainable and responsible tourism practices,” she said.
The NTB will be co-exhibiting with 15 exhibitors including Namibia Wildlife Resorts, Ondili Lodge Namibia, Exclusive Reservations and Marketing, SES Travel Agency, N/a’an ku se Ecotourism Collection, and Fly Namibia amongst others.
