The 5th International Symposium and Annual Conference of the Global Partnership for Sustainable Tourism in Namibia next year is a clear indication that the country becomes one of the world’s leading destinations, Namibian Tourism and Environment Minister Uahekua Herunga said on Thursday. Namibia will host the conference from February 23-25 under the theme, “Advancing Sustainable Tourism: Securing the Legacy of our Cultural and Natural Heritage”.
The Global Partnership for Sustainable Tourism (GPST) is an initiative under the United Nations Environment Program with the main object to introduce sustainable principles into the mainstream of global tourism.
Herunga told journalists that the GPST is recognising Namibia’s achievements in becoming one of the world’s leading destinations working to find the most effective balance between conservation, tourism and community development.
“Namibia is ready to showcase to the world the spirit and essence of a nation committed to conservation and community empowerment through social and economic transformation, partnerships and innovation,” he said.
Herunga said Namibia was the only country in Africa that has an expanding, free-roaming population of lion and giraffe, an expanding elephant population and the largest cheetah population in the world.
