Mokaila calls on tourist sector to form single body

Giving a keynote address at a conference of the Hospitality and Tourism Association of Botswana (HATAB) over the weekend in Maun, Mokaila noted that the current scenario where there are two representative  bodies - HATAB and the Botswana Guides Association (BOGA) - has become problematic because the two are susceptible to hijacking by sub-sector interests.

Because tourism is the second-highest revenue earner for the economy and has the potential to take the top spot after the depletion of minerals, Government needs to clear all the stumbling blocks impeding tourism growth.
