OUT Namibia - LGBTQ+ Travel
OUT Namibia - LGBTQ+ Travel stands as a pioneering force in the Namibian tourism sector, having the distinct honor of being recognized by IGLTA as the nation's first Destination Management Company (DMC) dedicated to inclusivity. With a keen focus on championing the rights and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community, OUT Namibia understands the profound importance of conservation, sustainability, education, and Community-Based Resource Management (CBRM) principles.
Their unwavering support for The Grow Namibia Foundation (TGNF) aptly aligns with these values, ensuring that the travel experiences they curate are deeply rooted in sustainability and community empowerment. As an integral part of the About Africa Co. NAMIBIA tribe, OUT Namibia inherently believes in the strength and unity of community, further accentuating its commitment to inclusive and responsible tourism in the beautiful landscapes of Namibia.
In our efforts to being a trailblazing initiative dedicated to conservation, sustainability, and community empowerment, we launched a ground-breaking tickets and permits booking system. This innovative platform, a first-of-its-kind in Namibia, is set to transform the way tourists (the backbone of our efforts) experience this country's iconic destinations, starting with Etosha and Sossusvlei National park permits.
The tickets and permits booking system represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of responsible and sustainable tourism practices. By providing tourists with the opportunity to book park permits or tickets in advance, the aim is to enhance smooth visitor experiences, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to the preservation of Namibia's pristine treasures, and provide support to the national authorities, such as Ministry of Environment and Tourism, Heritage council or Museums Association, to name a few.
"Our goal is to offer tourists a seamless and convenient way to explore Namibia's stunning national treasures while upholding our commitment to conservation and community empowerment," says Heiko Dörgeloh, founder of The Grow Namibia Foundation. "Through this pioneering system, we aim to strike a harmonious balance between promoting tourism, protecting our natural heritage, providing a convenience service to travellers, operators or agents, and fostering economic opportunities for local conservancies and communities."
The launch will begin with Etosha and Sossusvlei park permits, representing two of Namibia's most iconic and sought-after destinations. As part of our holistic approach, a portion of the proceeds from each ticket or permit sold shall be reinvested into conservation efforts and community development initiatives, such as the Namibian Tourism Fund, creating a positive cycle of support for both the environment and the people of Namibia.
