The Namibia Tourism Board (NTB) will open regional offices in Rundu, Ongwediva, and Lüderitz on 1 September 2025 as part of its drive to decentralise tourism services and improve access for businesses and communities.
“This is a milestone moment for NTB and for tourism in Namibia. We are not just opening offices; we are opening doors of opportunity. Each regional office will be a hub of support, connection, and growth for tourism entrepreneurs, community projects, and hidden gems waiting to be discovered,” said NTB Manager for Corporate Communication, Flora Quest.
According to the NTB, the Rundu office will serve Kavango East, Kavango West, and the Zambezi Region, with a focus on community-based tourism, river tourism, and the KAZA Transfrontier Conservation Area. The Ongwediva office will cover Ohangwena, Oshikoto, Omusati, and Oshana, while the Lüderitz office will serve the //Kharas Region, promoting the southern coastline, mining heritage, and geological attractions.
NTB Chief Executive Officer, Sebulon Chicalu, said the new offices would make tourism services more accessible. “For the first time, our services will be within reach for every region we serve, making it easier for businesses and communities. Tourism is everyone’s business, and from 1 September, NTB will be closer than ever to those who make it happen. This is truly about taking tourism to the people,” he said.
The offices will provide licensing, compliance guidance, business support, and destination promotion services.
