Foreword The tourism industry is recognised by the Government of the Republic of Namibia (GRN) as an important contributor to the growth of the country s economy, employment creation, rural development, poverty reduction, investments and foreign exchange earnings. Tourism is a catalyst for development and it is also applauded for its contribution to national and regional unity. Over the last ten years, Namibia has gained increased regional and global recognition as a premier adventure, culture and wildlife tourism destination in Africa. It has solidified its global reputation as a leader in conservation. Global decision makers and tour operators are now proudly sharing Namibia s conservation initiatives, landscapes, iconic and less known tourism products in their networks thus increasing the potential for global sales of the country s tourism products. Over the past two years, tourist arrivals to Namibia have steadily increased and it is forecasted that international tourist arrivals will increase more in years to come. Concerted marketing efforts in key source markets, as well as the 213 Adventure Travel World Summit (ATWS) held in Namibia in 213 have contributed to the increase in tourism arrivals. The ATWS 213 was the first to be held in Africa and more adventure travel industry members attended than in previous years, making Namibia s Summit the largest ever. Team Destination Namibia promised a Summit never to be forgotten and they delivered on their promise. In 213, Namibia also hosted the 11 th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. These world class events also positioned Namibia as a premier destination for various business as well as leisure activities. The hosting of the ATWS summit, in particular, has galvanized and synergised the tourism sector with both the government and public to advance the process of spreading benefits from tourism geographically. The GRN, nongovernmental organisations and many members of the private sector have already recognised the need for tourism development that preserves the delicate eco-system, to be available for use not just for now, but also into the future. To build on these positive trends, Namibia needs to continue to innovatively and proactively market the country in key source markets. We must identify niche interests and create compelling products that compete on a global level. Our training programs need to prepare young men and women to deliver on the promises that our marketing makes to tourists. The Namibian tourism sector does not stand alone; collaboration between the public and private partners in various spheres has reached new heights as we work closely together in ensuring that tourism s immense benefits reach the most vulnerable groups of society while supporting the preservation of our cultural rich and abundant resources. Tourism is truly everyone s business. We wish all stakeholders fruitful reading. Hon. Uahekua Herunga, MP Minister of Environment and Tourism iii

1. Introduction Background and Objectives The Ministry of Environment and Tourism started publishing the Annual Report on Tourist Arrivals Statistics in 21. The main objective of the report is to provide timely quality data on tourism arrivals to Namibia for the benefit of stakeholders of the tourism sector as well as other relevant sectors. This publication provides the 212 and 213 tourist arrivals statistics which can be used for planning, budgeting, and evaluation of tourism programmes and projects as well as for general use purposes. The key users of tourism statistics includes various ministries of the Government of the Republic of Namibia as well as the Namibia Tourism Board (NTB), the Bank of Namibia, the National Planning Commission, the Federation of Namibia Tourism Association (FENATA) and all its members, research institutions, non-governmental organisations, donors, universities and the general public. How to use this Report The report contains two main parts. The first part presents key results and trend analyses presented mostly in graphical form. The key results are presented under 11 topics, including: foreign tourist category, e.g., same-day visitors, returning residents, other purposes; the top ten tourists markets; the evolution of tourist arrivals; the purpose of entry of tourist, such as holiday, visiting friends and relatives, business; intended length of stay by tourist category; the age and gender profile of Namibia s tourists; the port of entry for tourists visiting Namibia; the mode of travel to Namibia; the season when most tourists visit Namibia; and accommodation. The second part, Annex 1, provides detailed statistical tables covering all the topics above for those who are interested in looking into details and making their own analyses. Key Concepts and Definitions Foreign Tourist A foreign tourist is defined as any visitor travelling to a country other than that of his/ her residence but outside his/her usual environment for more than 1 night but less than 12 months and whose main purpose of visit is other than the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited. This is the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) definition and it is used to produce foreign tourist arrival statistics in Namibia. The use of this broad concept makes it possible to identify both tourists (overnight visitors) and same-day visitors. Purpose of Visit The main purpose of a tourism trip to a country (or place) is defined as the purpose in the absence of which the trip would not have taken place. It is determined by the main activities in which the visitor has been or will be involved during the trip at the destination. The main purpose of visit for tourists is classified under 4 categories which are Visiting Friends/Relatives, Holiday, Business, and Other (those reasons that do not fall under the other three categories). Duration of visit 2
The duration of a visit (stay or trip) is measured in the following units: the number of hours for same-day visits, and nights for staying visits. For international tourism the duration is measured either in terms of time spent in the receiving country for inbound tourism, or time away from the usual residence for outbound tourism. Country of residence The country of residence is one of the key criteria for determining whether a person arriving in a country is a visitor or other traveller, and if a visitor, whether s/he is a national or overseas resident. The underlying concept in the classification of international visitors by place of origin is the country of residence, not their nationality. Foreign nationals residing in a country are assimilated with other residents for the purpose of domestic and outbound tourism statistics. The above definitions and classifications, being internationally accepted, allow for global comparison of Namibia s tourism statistics. 3

2. Trends of Foreign Arrivals for the Past Four Years From all foreign arrivals to Namibia in 213, tourist arrivals constitute the largest number, followed by same-day visitors. Returning residents and other purpose of visits has been constantly lower over the past four years with minor differences. Foreign arrivals to Namibia in 213 totalled to 1,374,62 of which tourist arrivals amounted to 1,176,42, representing 86% of all foreign arrivals. These numbers are up from 1,3,439 foreign arrivals in 212, of which 1,78,937 were tourists. Most of the arrivals making up over one half of all foreign arrivals to Namibia come from and, and 4 persons out of every 5 visitors were tourists. A significant proportion of ns were same-day visitors, representing about 2 persons out of every 5 ns visiting Namibia. Figure 1: Foreign Arrivals by Category, 21-213 5

3. Top Ten Tourist Markets, 212-213 The overall market for tourists to Namibia in 213 was led by followed by and in third place. These patterns are the same for 212 tourist arrivals. Figure 3a: Top Ten Tourist Markets for 213 7
Figure 3b: Top Ten Tourist Markets for 213 8
4. Top Ten Overseas Holiday Tourist Arrivals, 212-213 Overall overseas holiday tourist arrivals amounted to 187,64 in 213, up from 181,83 in 212 and 176,857 in 211. The top ten overseas holiday tourist arrivals to Namibia have been led by and United Kingdom for several years up until 212. In 213, it is observed that United States has taken over the second position from the United Kingdom while took the 8th position in 213, up from the 13th position in 212 (see figures below). Figure 4: Top Ten Overseas Holiday Tourist Arrivals for 213 Figure 5: Top Ten Overseas Holiday Tourist Arrivals for 212 9
5. Trend of Tourist Arrivals over time, 29-213 Despite the world economic crises in 28-29, tourist arrivals to Namibia have continuously increased over the last 5 years. Figure 6: Trend of Tourist Arrivals over the past 5 years. 1
Tourist arrivals have increased by 9.% from 212 to 213 and by 5.% from 211 to 212. The increase of tourist arrivals in 212 and 213 is possibly due to major Government and private sector interventions in the tourism sector. Figure 7: Time series presentation of tourist arrivals, 21-213 11
6. Evolution of Tourist Arrivals by Region, 29-213 Tourist arrivals from Africa have increase by 1 between 212 and 213. An increase of 5.4% was recorded between 211 and 212. Tourists from Africa constituted the largest number of all tourists (78% in 213); however this proportion decreases when it comes to holiday tourists (56%). These proportions have been in the similar range for a decade. Figure 8: Tourist Arrivals from Africa, 29-213 12
Tourist arrivals from North America ( and ) amounted to 26,1 and have significantly increased from 212 to 213. It is worth noting that among all tourist arrivals from North America, 89% were holiday tourists in 213 and 71% in 212. Figure 9: Tourist Arrivals from North America, 29-213 13
Tourist arrivals from Europe have slightly increased since 211 but yet did not reached its level of 21. The increase was only from 212 to 213 and from 211 to 212. However, tourist arrivals from United Kingdom have increased by 1% from 212 to 213, while those from have remained more or less at the same level. Figure 1: Tourist Arrivals from Europe, 29-213. 14
Chinese tourist arrivals increased by 7% from 212 to 213 and by 45% from 211 to 212. Details in annex tables show that a similar increase of 54% was also observed from 212 to 213 for holiday tourists. Figure 11: Tourist Arrivals from, 28-213 15
7. Tourist Arrivals by Purpose of Visit Tourists are classified into four categories, namely: holiday tourists, visiting friends and relatives, business tourists, and other purpose tourists. Among all tourists visiting Namibia, visiting friends and relatives were the largest number followed by holiday tourists. Detailed results show that n holiday tourists dominated the African tourist markets where 3 persons out of 1 tourists were holiday tourists and n tourists came second with 2 persons out of every 1 tourists being holiday tourists.

8. Overseas Tourist Arrivals by Purpose of Visit, 213 Tourists from overseas were more likely to be holiday makers as compared to tourists from African countries who are more likely to be visiting friends and relatives. Namibia also attracts a significant number of tourists visiting for business purposes from African countries as compared to overseas countries. Figure 14: Overseas Tourist Arrivals by Purpose of Visit Figure 13: Tourist Arrivals from Africa by Purpose of Visit Over 7 persons out of every 1 European tourists were leisure tourists and 9 persons out of every 1 North America tourists were leisure tourists. Most of the remaining tourists from North America other than holiday tourists came for business purposes. Figure : European Tourist Arrivals Figure 15: North America Tourist Arrivals 17

Of all 213 tourists, those visiting friends and relatives intend to stay longer than holiday tourists and business tourists. The pattern of intended length of stay by purpose of visit is similar in 212. 212 Interest Tourist Markets were identified by the Namibia tourism sector due to the volume of foreign arrivals coming from these markets. 18

It is clear that tourists arriving from other African countries to Namibia were young, with half of them being less than 39 years old., 213 Figure 19: Age group of European Tourists Contrary to African tourists travelling to Namibia, European tourists were much more represented in the elder age-groups of 6+ and 5-59. Out of every 1 European tourists travelling to Namibia, 5 were at least 5 years old; this age structure indicates that the majority of European tourists were leisure tourists. European tourists aged 4 years and above represented 67% of all European tourists travelling to Namibia.

13. Point of Entry for Tourists, 212-213 The most popular points of entry used by tourists visiting Namibia in 213 were the northern border posts, Hosea Kutako International Airport, the north-eastern border posts and the southern border posts. The northern border posts are mostly used by tourists from, which as previously stated is the leading tourism market for Namibia. Hosea Kutako is the main international airport and was used by the majority of international tourists. The southern border posts were mostly used by n tourists travelling to Namibia, while north eastern border posts were mostly used by n and n tourists visiting Namibia. While over half of the tourists from Europe and North America visited Namibia came through Hosea Kutako International Airport, only 12% of n and 2% of n tourists travelling to Namibia used this entry point.

14. Mode of Travel for Tourists Figure 27: Mode of Travel for Tourists The most used mode of travel for tourists travelling to Namibia is by land, driven by the top two tourist markets, and, from which Namibia in reachable by road. Thus, they influenced significantly the structure of the mode of travel for all tourists.

Conclusion and Recommendations Conclusion The total number of foreign arrivals to Namibia in 213 was 1,372,62 up from 1,3,439 in 212. Of all foreign arrivals to Namibia in 213, 86% were tourists (1,176,42), 11% were same-day visitors, 2% were returning residents and other purpose of visit. The top ten tourism markets in those years were,,,,,, United Kingdom, United States,, and. There has been a significant 9% increase of tourist arrivals in 213 as compared to 212, up from 5% in 212 as compared to 211. This increase may be a result from Government of Namibia as well as private sector and other partners interventions in the tourism sector. This increase is mainly made up of the increase of tourists visiting Namibia from Africa and North America. It is also worth noting that tourists from have significantly increased during the same period. Of all tourists, 49.9% entered Namibia to visit friends and relatives, 35.9% were leisure tourists, and 12.5% and 2%, respectively, were business tourists and other purpose of visit. This trend was driven by African tourists, who make up the bulk of all tourists. However, 73% of overseas tourists who represented 22% of all tourist arrivals in 213 were leisure tourists while only 14% came for visiting friends and relatives and 6% were business tourists. The average intended length of stay was 18 days for leisure tourists, 19 days for visiting friends and relatives tourists and 8 days for business tourists. Recommendations The registered performance of the tourism sector in 213 has to be sustained by maintaining the already existing tourism infrastructure and tourism markets. In addition, stakeholders in the tourism sector should continue innovating new tourism products in order to continuously attract each category of tourists. Based on the process of compiling tourist arrivals statistics, there have been delays in producing and publishing annual tourist arrivals statistics report over time. Given the importance of producing timely tourist arrivals statistics for policy formulation and planning Namibia s development, it is crucial that a quarterly bulletin and annual report on tourist arrivals be published within three months after the end of the reporting period. In order to maintain the timely publication of tourist arrivals statistics, all stakeholders should work hand in hand to ensure that: A sustainable institutional arrangement is in place to facilitate the entire process of the compilation of and reporting on tourist arrivals, from the collection of forms through to sampling, data entry, data cleaning and report writing. Three institutions need be most involved in this process, namely the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration and the Namibia Statistics Agency. The data from different sources of tourism statistics should be triangulated and summarized in a single annual document highlighting key indicators to easily inform decision-making. Some examples of potential sources are the Namibia Tourist Exit Survey, Tourist Satellite Account, Hotel Statistics, World Tourism Barometer First National Bank Tourism Index, and Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index. The arrival/departure form should be revised to facilitate incorporation of needed tourism variables in the computerised system of Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration2. With time, data captured from this 2 out of 32 border posts are computerised according to Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration 27
computerised system will be used to produce needed tourist arrivals statistics and the sampling approach will be abandoned. Verification of arrival/departure forms during the sorting, sampling and data entry process revealed that there are some questions included in the arrival/departure form which are not filled in by travellers and one should assess whether these should remain on the form and be better enforced or be removed from the form.
