Dysfunctional European Airports Dent Nam Tourism thenamibian: Namibia
According to a report by Simonis Storm, in countries across Europe, thousands of flight cancellations have occurred because of shortages in airport and airline staff.
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 .
According to the Simonis analysis, the proportion of Namibian visitors at local establishments increased slightly from 30,6% of guests in May 2022 to 34,0% in June 2022.
