Lubango - At least 247 tourists have visited, since November 2021, Angola’s “Tourist Triangle”, which involves the provinces of Luanda, Huíla and Namibe, an initiative of the Angolan tourist promotion and entertainment agency Tac Tour.
The tourists are mostly Portuguese, Italians, Brazilians, Venezuelans, Americans, Spaniards, Germans, French, Bolivians, Chileans and Swiss, while from Africa were Namibians, South Africans and Mozambicans.
The information was disclosed to ANGOP on Wednesday in Lubango by the head of the Tac Tour, Carlos Bumba, adding that the tour starts in the country's capital and has its epicenter in Huíla and Namibe, with the aim of showing the experiences and the cultural reality of the region.
Bumba said there have already been 14 editions of the “Luanda-Lubango-Namibe” Tourist Triangle since November 2021 and that at least 85 percent of visitors are foreigners.
If outsiders come to the communities, said the promoter, people end up valuing their places of origin more by making crafts, such as basketry and pottery, since tourists want to add value to the communities.
“With this, tourists come and feel that they are participating in the development of the community and this ends up being an exchange, where the traveler brings some goods and the community teaches the tourist how to eat, dance, dress, among other cultural knowledge,” he said. EM/MS/TED/AMP
