Tourism in Namibia Steadily Recovers – Increase in Domestic Tourism

The hospitality and tourism industries in Namibia are showing signs of a slow and steady recovery; this is according to an online article published on 7th January 2021 by CAJ News Africa. The tourism sector here, like in many other countries across the world, was hard hit due to the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in border closures. International travel was allowed once more in August last year and there has been what is described as a “slow-pace” recovery.

Additionally, domestic tourism has seen an upsurge; with local properties offering special deals for residents, more and more locals are travelling and exploring the country as well. From accommodation at hotels in Windhoek including properties such as Avani Windhoek Hotel & Casino to wildlife-filled game reserves, Namibia has much to offer; as mentioned in the article, industry stakeholders should competitively price their services and products since more travellers will be expected this year as countries roll out their vaccination campaigns.
