This most likely arose as Covid lockdowns exposed vulnerabilities and job security risks in this sector. The latest quarterly gross domestic product figures show a slower expansion of 4,4% y/y in the first quarter of 2022 in the hotels and restaurant sector, a proxy for the tourism sector. A national occupancy rate of 32,1% was recorded last month, compared to 39,4% in May and 16,7% in June 2021, according to figures from the Hospitality Association of Namibia .
