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.

Participants at the regional consultation on the revised National Policy on Sustainable Tourism Development have called for stronger implementation mechanisms, greater community involvement and improved law enforcement within Namibia's tourism sector.

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.
