He however, could not revealing how much has been spent on the renovations so far stating reconciliation had not be conducted yet.

“What I can say however is that, we are almost done with renovations, we expect this exercise to bring added value which will result in business growth. We are optimistic and hope that tourism grows at a faster rate because of ‘revenge tourism’ as most people are looking to travel after the lockdown.

We are already seeing an uptick in car rental and companies are having to accommodate a big number of self-drive services and this shows things are and will continue to get better,” Ashipala said.

Meanwhile NWR reached wage negotiation agreement with Namibia Public Workers Union (NAPWU) for the 2022 to 2023 financial year.
