Tourism talk “Recently we have concentrated on specifi c markets with campaigns to self-drive holidays and Bushman art.
“In 2014 we want to change tactics and push more than one of Namibia’s assets, promoting it as a destination of diversity, highlighting the country’s landscape, wildlife and culture.
“We want more agents to package holidays that include a mixture of the three, perhaps combining a trip to the sand dunes in Sossusvlei, a wildlife safari in Etosha and a taste of the varied culture in the Kalahari region.
“Our tarde event, Network Namibia will return in 2014 and we are also looking at ways to refresh our online training programme by introducing new content.” Sam Hancock, Senior
Sales & Marketing Manager, Namibia Tourism Board
“Try out the local Windhoek beer for a great thirst quencher – but drink lots of water, too. Always do any Namib Desert sand dune climbing very early or very late in the day when
it’s not as hot” TOM WAITE, COMMERCIAL AND PRODUCT EXECUTIVE, KUONI
“Safari experiences differ according to the national parks and reserves visited and the time of year – with different animals depending on the season. Get to grips with the differences and deliver a tailored safari
for your customers” SARAH BECKWITH, COMMERCIAL AND PRODUCT MANAGER, KUONI
