Working in conjunction with the City of Windhoek, this project concentrates on two businesses in Katutura with a focus on preparing them for tourism. In an effort to benefit the entire community by stimulating the local economy, we dedicated our research to developing the businesses and expanding their respective markets. After careful examination of the businesses, we created recommendations for the development of each business. In an effort to attain immediate results, we then proposed and tested a pilot tour that highlighted the businesses of this project and capitalized on our recommendations. Major tour companies could potentially use this tour when it is proven successful.
