Namibia Tourism Expo 2022 brings people together
The numbers that have become clear in the run-up to this year's Namibia Tourism Expo, which kicks off today and will conclude on Saturday, 5 November, are not only impressive, but also say a lot about the character of the event.
More than 100 exhibition stands will represent over 1 600 hotels, lodges and rest camps, while Fly Namibia's presence will offer visitors access to more than 100 destinations worldwide.
Not only has the hospitality sector come up with special offers, but First National Bank Namibia (FNB) and Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) - through massive financial support - will enable visitors to qualify for one of 250 vouchers, each worth N$1 000, by participating in various expo activities.
Back in September, FNB marketing manager Tracy Eagles and NBL executive officer Marco Wenk expressed delight that the two companies would be able to financially support the Namibian public through their participation in this tourism initiative. Now the time has come and vouchers to the tune of N$250 000 will be awarded.
Eat, drink, be merry
At the much-anticipated event, which will be held at Sport Klub Windhoek (SKW) in Olympia, more than 30 types of wine, gin, whisky, vodka and sparkling wine as well as beers can be sampled. Additionally, visitors can feast on a range of 100 foodstuffs at various stands.
In keeping with the modern information age, all expo-related happenings will be permanently reflected on 16 Instagram hotspots – every moment of every hour. This will make visitors aware of events they might not have noticed otherwise.
Meanwhile, nine automotive brands will have altogether 33 of their vehicles on display, and a total of five musicians and music groups will provide entertainment during the late afternoons and evenings.
Highlights
There are two highlights on Saturday morning: As soon as gates open, visitors can meet representatives of the local animal welfare association, SPCA Windhoek, at the main tent and possibly get their hands on a dog, with 10 furry friends hoping to find forever homes.
Immediately afterwards, the Bridal Couple of the Year will be crowned. The show can be followed live via social media.
Gates will open at 14:00 this afternoon and the expo will officially be launched at 15:00. While gates will close at 20:00, the fun will rage on until 22:00. Tomorrow and on Saturday, gates will open at 10:00.
