Maseru, Nov. 27 — The Chairperson of the Lesotho Council for Tourism and coordinator of the Basotho Culture and Food Tasting Festival, Advocate (Adv.) Makhetha Motsóari, says the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Government of Lesotho and the African Tourism Board (ATB) marks a turning point for the country’s tourism sector.
Speaking in an interview with the Agency, Adv. Motsóari expressed confidence that the partnership will reshape the tourism landscape and open new avenues for growth. He noted that while Lesotho’s tourism sector holds significant potential to boost economic development, a number of persistent challenges have slowed progress over the years.
“With the involvement and support of the African Tourism Board, this is our opportunity to excel,” he said. “It is the right moment to reflect on the sector, re-strategise, and make tourism truly worthwhile for the Basotho nation.”
He added that the collaboration is expected to amplify Lesotho’s visibility across the continent and globally, giving the country’s unique cultural and natural attractions the exposure they deserve.
