Kalondo said the Expo reflects Africa’s rich storytelling heritage “of communicating and telling stories to everyone, so that everyone can enrich their lives with knowledge, understanding, compassion and respect”. She said for centuries, stories have been shared around the campfires of Africa “and ensured that the community felt a sense of belonging and harmony when these stories are discussed and debated”.
She said that the Namibian Tourism Expo “is one of many campfires we have created in this beautiful country in which we help communities to share their stories. We are proud to be part of the tourism industry in sharing their stories with Namibian at this very unique event”.
The purpose of the Expo, is for visitors and exhibitors to engage with each other, and to share their stories. But most importantly, Kalondo said, is her wish that Namibian “continue to share the beautiful story of this country”.
