Windhoek - The Northern Cape Tourism Authority will return to the Namibian Tourism Expo this week to showcase the unique tourism offerings of South Africa’s largest province.
The destination marketing organisation will attend this highly popular exhibition from June 6 - 9 to once again forge valuable relationships with tourism role players from neighbouring countries and around the globe.
The Northern Cape forms an integral part of the Cape-to-Namibia route as the Namaqua and Green Kalahari regions are en-route for travellers to Namibia.
“The Northern Cape is an essential gateway to Namibia and offers travellers the ideal opportunity to explore the truly exceptional natural and cultural offerings of the province. We have a mutually beneficial relationship with our tourism partners in Namibia as this allows us to further engage with an already existing audience.
“In terms of value for money and the diversity of outdoor and adventure experiences, the Northern Cape is undoubtedly unique,” stated Dianna Martin, General Manager: Marketing and Promotions with the Northern Cape Tourism Authority.
