Tourism sector creates more jobs

Namibia’s tourism sector becomes an even more important employer in Namibia. More than 57,000 new jobs have been created in the last five years, as tourism minister Indileni Daniel informed. This is an important boost for the Namibian economy, that struggles in other sectors. Especially for the youth, where Namibia has an unemployment rate of about 50 percent, the tourism sector has been of vital significance. Wir a contribution of nearly 15 bn Namibia dollars to the economy, the tourism sector remains the third most important driver of GDP.
