Namibia is a newly independent nation with a 51% unemployment rate, seeking to become fully developed by the year 2030. Our goal for this project was to work with the Namibia Tourism Board to help launch a home stay program to create jobs and spread the benefits of tourism in Namibia. After observing homes and holding community meetings in each of the 13 regions in Namibia, we were able to draft regulations and provide recommendations for the implementation of the program.
