Namibia’s participation at DRC Mining Week 2026 marked a successful foray into the strategic intersection of mining, trade, logistics, and tourism. Led by H.E. S.C. Sipalela, the Namibia Tourism Board (NTB), in collaboration with Walvis Bay Corridor Group, Epangelo Mining, NAMPORT, and the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB), leveraged the platform to promote Namibia’s world-class port infrastructure, corridor connectivity, and nascent tourism offerings to a diverse continental audience.
Key business-to-business engagements revealed promising demand for Namibia’s tourism experiences, particularly family travel, and opened discussions for familiarization tours with Congolese travel trade partners. The event affirmed Namibia’s potential as both a trade gateway and an emerging leisure destination.
NTB is poised to expand its footprint in the DRC market through strategic partnerships, enhanced visibility, and targeted digital outreach.
