The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) in conjunction with the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) with the financial and technical support from United Nations Economic for Africa (UNECA), has finalized the compilation process of the Namibia’s Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) Report 2022.
The (TSA) report measures the direct economic contribution of tourism to the economy. This report captures comprehensive statistics that will contribute to informed decision-making and strategic planning for the tourism sector.
Tourism Satellite Accounts provide an internationally recognized and standardized method of assessing the scale of tourism related production and its links across different sectors. The Namibia Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) for the year 2022 is a significant development in the field of tourism statistics for Namibia. This publication is the first using the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) methodology and to which Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) was fully involved, reflecting the commitment to data accuracy, transparency, and the recognition of the importance of the tourism sector in the country’s economy.
The implementation of this TSA is anchored under Strategic Intervention 4 of Namibia's Tourism Sector Recovery Plan (2022-2024), which aims to “increase tourism market intelligence through statistics and data collection." The finalisation of the 6th edition of TSA takes Namibia closer to achieving the above goals and objectives.
The maiden TSA launch is organized through a collaborative arrangement with Government of Namibia/ Ministry of Forestry, Environment and Tourism; Namibia Statistics Agency; the Namibia Resident Coordinator’s Office and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA).
