As part of the Africa Women’s Month Celebration, Lesotho Tourism Development Corporation (LTDC) honoured and celebrated women in tourism.

Speaking at the event, the Minister of Tourism, Environment, and Culture, Ms. Nthloi Motsamai expressed gratitude to be part of this beautiful celebration.
She noted that since women ventured into tourism, they have positively impacted the country’s economy hence encouraging them to work hard, support each other and build their own legacy, saying next year’s event will be bigger and better.
She, however, said there is still a lot to be done in order to grow the tourism sector, urging them to visit LTDC for guidance.
Also speaking, the Chief Executive Officer LTDC, Dr Retselisitsoe Nko thanked all relevant stakeholders, saying this celebration would not be a success without their unwavering support.
