AETC does tourism training!

AE Tourism Consulting is doing another training and informaiton session for civil servants, leaders in communal conservancies, local/regional officials with tourism budgets and plans, and civil society working with tourism.  The title of the session is:

"The Smallest thing can have the LARGEST impact on Tourism!"

[The above photo is of Kholmanskop in the south of Namibia just before the town of Luderitz by the sea!  Google it and learn about the history of this former diamond boom town which is now reclaimed by the desert sands. Come to Namibia and visit this site!]

At the training, we will do role play, show tourism video presentations and be interactive with the audience to make the point that other Ministries, other than the Minstry of Environment and Tourism (MET) impact tourism.  Many of these Ministries do not know about this impact.  They enact regulations or rules or laws or deadlines that actually can damage or negatively affect tourism.  This workshop focuses on that and helps identify these areas so that those Ministries can begin to consult with the line Ministry of Environment and Tourism or the NTB or the tourism industry private sector and get information necessary to help create jobs in tourism by helping the tourism industry grow.

[The above is an weird rock formation at Namibia's only World Heritage site at Twyfelfontein.  Around that whole area is ancient rock art and rock drawings done thousands of years ago by the people who used to live there.  Believe it or not, there is even a drawing of a SEAL in this open desert location hundreds of kilometers from the sea!  Come to Namibia and visit Twyfelfontein.]

AETC is holding the sesson on June 6-7, 2012 at the Safari Conference Center and Hotel here in Windhoek, Namibia.  We start bright and early at 8:00 and go until 4:30 each day.

We have a dynamic team of presenters including myself and two guest specialists.  One guest specialist will present on tourism marketing and how Namibia is seen by the world out there.  The other will speak on Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) and which Ministries impact growth in this sector more.

All are invited.  Contact my project coordinator, Selma, at (264-81-1222290) for local folks, that is:  0811222290.  Or send me an email asheeke@africaonline.com.na or jw.asheeke@gmail.com.  A registration form is attached to the website:  www.africatourconsult.com.
