The team at Gondwana Collection Namibia recently took a trip to Hosea Kutako International Airport (HKIA) on a mission to honor immigration officials as tourism heroes. They brought with them gift boxes as tokens of appreciation for the dedication shown by these officials in welcoming visitors to Namibia, including those who attended the state funeral of President Hage Geingob.
Maggie Shivute, the executive assistant to the brand and marketing director at Gondwana Collection, spoke about the campaign and the significance of showing gratitude to these individuals. The initiative serves as a reflection of the inclusive spirit that unites the nation. Gondwana has allocated N$1 million, half in cash and half in kind, for the tokens of appreciation.
The campaign was initially launched last year at parliament, where key figures from various sectors voiced their support. The main focus of the initiative is to recognize and reward those who contribute to the safety, hospitality, kindness, care, and preservation of Namibian tourism. While Namibia is known for its stunning landscapes and warm hospitality, there are challenges that require collective efforts to ensure the well-being of both tourists and local communities.
The Tourism Heroes Campaign aims to highlight individuals who go above and beyond in supporting and caring for visitors and the community. The ultimate goal is to position Namibia as the top choice for travelers seeking authentic hospitality in Africa. Shivute expressed gratitude to the immigration officials for their tireless commitment to promoting tourism. She acknowledged their dedication and applauded their efforts to make a positive impact in the industry.
In addition to recognizing the hard work of these officials, the campaign also emphasizes the importance of unity in addressing the challenges faced by the tourism sector in Namibia. By acknowledging and rewarding those who contribute to the industry, Gondwana hopes to raise awareness and promote a culture of care and hospitality among all stakeholders.
As the team at Gondwana continues to show appreciation for the tourism heroes at HKIA, they are also encouraging others to join in supporting and promoting sustainable tourism in Namibia. Through collaborative efforts and a shared commitment to the well-being of visitors and local communities, the tourism industry in Namibia can continue to thrive and grow.
In conclusion, the gesture of gratitude towards immigration officials at HKIA is a reminder of the vital role they play in welcoming visitors to Namibia and contributing to the success of the tourism industry. By recognizing their efforts and showing appreciation, Gondwana Collection hopes to inspire others to do the same and foster a culture of care and hospitality in Namibia.
