The Namibia Tourism Board (NTB) Europe joined distinguished international media representatives, senior tourism executives, airport representatives and political leaders in celebrating the 80th Anniversary of Ethiopian Airlines.
The prestigious event provided NTB Europe with a valuable high-level networking platform to strengthen strategic relationships, advance destination advocacy and promote Namibia as a leading African tourism destination.
A significant highlight of the celebration was the recognition of Namibia by Ethiopian Airlines’ senior leadership as one of the airline’s important destinations with strong growth potential. The airline also expressed appreciation for its longstanding partnership with NTB and the close cooperation between the two organisations in destination marketing and public relations.
NTB Europe used the occasion to acknowledge Ethiopian Airlines for its continued commitment and support in connecting Namibia to international markets. The team further recognised the important contribution of Namibia’s private tourism sector, whose collaboration remains essential to NTB’s international destination marketing efforts.

Building Momentum in the European Market
Looking ahead, NTB Europe and Ethiopian Airlines are set to roll out several joint marketing initiatives across European markets, further strengthening the visibility of Destination Namibia and supporting efforts to stimulate travel demand.
The planned collaboration reflects the importance of strong airline partnerships in expanding Namibia’s international reach and positioning the country competitively within key tourism source markets.
Through strategic partnerships with airlines, the tourism trade and media, NTB continues to strengthen international market access and inspire more travellers to discover Namibia.
