March 26, 2013Since its inception in 1999, the Namibia Tourism Expo has grown consistently, earning a superb reputation for offering the only centralised marketing platform for Namibia’s tourism industry.
This year, the Namibia Tourism Expo will take place from 29th May – 1st June 2013 at the Windhoek Show Grounds.
Apart from presenting a highly effective showcase for exhibitors active in tourism, the organisers have revitalised the exhibition every year by expanding the showcase. The Expo is organised by the Republikein newspaper with the support of all Namibian tourism organisations.
Travel Expo fun
In addition, the Namibia Tourism Board (NTB) works closely with the organisers by inviting international travel agents, guests and members of the media to the Expo. Networking opportunities are the backbone of the event.
The Expo hosts exhibits by local, regional and international establishments and also features interactive chefs’ demonstrations, art and crafts exhibitions, food, beer and wine tasting and a host of other fun activities to attract travel enthusiasts, foodies, friends of tourism and the general public.
A fully-fledged motor vehicle show, complete with motoring accessories, is hosted under the banner of the Bank Windhoek–Republikein Motor Show.
Exhibitor Profile
The Expo is open to all stakeholders in tourism, namely travel agencies, airlines, hotels, lodges, suppliers to the hospitality industry, government tourist offices and tourist-related organisations and enterprises, as well as representatives of food and beverage companies who supply extensively to the tourism industry.
