The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) is calling on stakeholders to attend the National Tourism Policy consultations. 

The consultations started on the 3rd of March and will end on the 17th. 

Stakeholders in the Erongo Region have welcomed the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism's (MEFT) efforts to consult widely on the review of the National Tourism Policy.

The Chief Tourism Officer at MEFT, Frans Helao, explained that the review of the policy is aimed at expanding its relevance.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism has made over N$ 160 million from trophy hunting through joint venture tourism and over 20 million through conservancies.

Daniel highlighted that the trophy hunting is done in a sustainable manner and under the regulatory framework.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism has commissioned a consultancy team to develop a National Tourism Spatial Development Master Plan for Namibia.

The consultants began their first engagement in the Otjozondjupa Region, with visits to other regions set to follow.

The Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform, Ruth Masake, commended the organisers of the 18th Lüderitz Crayfish Festival for a well-organised festival.

Masake, together with her delegation, toured corporate and SME stalls at the Lüderitz Waterfront.

The Swakopmund beaches are a hive of activity as holidaymakers and beachgoers frolic on the seashore. 

Swakopmund is a traditional holiday spot for locals and foreigners alike, with many participating in daring adventures on the dunes and going on hot air balloon rides, amongst others. 

Preserving and safeguarding cultural identity is vital in today's world, as it provides a sense of belonging, structure, and stability.
