Comm. and Tourism Division Title Tourist Information Kiosks in the City of Windhoek Advisors Vaz, Richard Francis, EE Demetry, Chrysanthe, ME Availability unrestricted Abstract
Tourism is the third largest contributor to Namibia's GDP; however, the Capital City of Windhoek has not yet fully benefited from this. Access to information was identified as a weakness in the 2006 Tourism Strategy; one proposed solution is the implementation of 24-hour touch screen tourist information kiosks. Drawing from our interviews with tourism stakeholders we made recommendations regarding the design and placement of these kiosks. We also determined a maintenance plan and budget to ensure the long-term functionality of the kiosks.
