In Namibia, I didn’t just speak — I listened.
I met leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who understand that tourism must do more than grow — it must include. It must uplift. It must leave no one behind.
From Ministers Hon. Indileni Daniel and Hon. Selma Ashipala-Musavyi to every youth and woman with a dream — one message was clear: the future of tourism is inclusive, or it’s incomplete.
That’s why I proposed a bold initiative:
The Inclusive Tourism Investment & Funding Strategy — a UN Tourism flagship to direct capital, opportunity, and visibility where it’s needed most.
This is how we build it:
☑️ Micro-funds for youth and women-led enterprises
☑️ Equity-focused public-private partnerships
☑️ Policies that hardwire inclusion
☑️ Training for financial and digital empowerment
☑️ Global visibility for community-led experiences
This campaign isn’t about titles — it’s about transformation.
Because when we listen first, we lead better.
And in Namibia, I heard the future calling. Loud and clear.
