Small tourism businesses along Swakopmund's beach are beginning to feel the slowdown as the holiday season comes to an end. 

Swakopmund Mayor Suamma Kautondokwa has described the festive season as busy but successful, with the town once again proving to be a safe and welcoming tourist destination.

With the vision to boost Namibia's economy and uplift the tourism sector, Miss World Namibia 2025, Selma Kamanya, is driving "Global Namibia One" to do just that. 

Former Miss Namibia and Miss Universe 1992, Michelle McLean-Bailey, was named as the Top Global Business Woman of the Year in Tourism Investment.

McLean-Bailey was honoured by the International Association of Top Professionals in Las Vegas, United States, on Saturday.

The international beauty queens who were in Namibia on the initiative of Miss World Namibia's Selma Kamanya's Global Namibia 1 project concluded a successful ten-day tour of Namibia.

The aim was to explore and promote the country's tourism on the world stage.

Germany remains in the top spot as the overseas destination from which tourists arrive in the country.

The 2024 Tourist Statistical Report launched by the Environment, Forestry and Tourism Minister Indileni Daniels shows that over 111,000 tourists arrived from Germany during that year.

A group of beauty queens from across the globe is currently traversing Namibia to explore and promote the country's tourism on the world stage.
