Young people are underrepresented in the tour guide subsector nationwide.

A survey by the Environment, Forestry, and Tourism Ministry (MEFT) indicates that out of 500 registered tour guides, 17% are youth between the ages of 18 and 34.

MEFT carried out a survey to help register and accredit all tour guides in Namibia.

One of the findings indicated that the youth are finding it difficult to take up job opportunities in the tour guide subsector.
