Hospitality industry expects festive business boom

The first day of December is generally considered the kickoff to the season, with hotels offering special deals to draw tourists.

Lily Rakorong, Chief Executive Officer of the Hospitality and Tourism Association of Botswana (HATAB), said this festive season there would be increased movement of both in-bound and out-bound travellers visiting different places and indulging in a variety of activities. “There is an expectation that the accommodation, attraction and transport sectors are going to do well this festive season. This is a holiday season. People get to travel and visit families and friends,” she said.
