Maseru, Aug. 19 — Selemo Sa Basotho Arts and Cultural Agency, in partnership with the Lesotho Tourism Development Corporation (LTDC), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly celebrate World Tourism Day on October 5 and continue fostering cultural tourism beyond the occasion.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Mr. Thabo Mampe (popularly known as Ntate Leraisa) emphasized that celebrating Basotho culture should not be limited to a single event but should form part of daily life. He explained that the collaboration between Selemo Sa Basotho and LTDC stems from the belief that culture and tourism are deeply interconnected.
“We are planning to host a camp at Molimo Nthuse Pass early next year as part of our ongoing cultural celebrations,” Mr. Mampe announced.
LTDC Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Mamello Morojele, described the signing as the beginning of a new journey in advancing cultural tourism. She highlighted that culture is the identity of every nation, urging Basotho to take pride in their heritage.
