Gross Barmen, Hardap Resort most preferred corporate event hosts 

The Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) says Gross Barmen and Hardap Resort have emerged as the most preferred destination for conferencing and hosting corporate events.

NWR spokesperson Nelson Ashipala said in a bid to prioritise productivity and focus during business gatherings, they have witnessed a remarkable surge in companies and organisations opting for out-of-town conference venues.

“With the advantage of reduced disturbances and distractions, venues such as Gross Barmen and Hardap Dam Resort have become sought-after destinations for corporate events,” he said.

“Traditionally, bustling urban environments often accompany conferences and business meetings, leading to interruptions and distractions. However, the serene ambiance and secluded settings offered by out-of-town venues have proven to be conducive to fostering undisturbed productivity and meaningful interactions.”

Ashipala, who oversees meetings, conferences, and events booking, stressed that choosing a venue away from the distractions of urban life can significantly enhance the quality of discussions and outcomes of business gatherings.

As such, he said Gross Barmen and Hardap Dam Resort, in particular, have proven to offer a unique combination of modern facilities and natural surroundings, providing the perfect backdrop for productive meetings and team-building activities, as well as peace and tranquility.

“In line with this shift towards out-of-town venues, NWR has expanded its offerings to provide a comprehensive one-stop solution for corporate clients.

“In addition to premium conference facilities, the organisation now offers tailored team-building services facilitated by external experts. This holistic approach aims to cater to the diverse needs of modern businesses seeking impactful and productive gatherings, as businesses continue to navigate the evolving landscape of remote work and virtual collaboration,” said Ashipala. 

NWR is a hospitality provider, offering a diverse portfolio of lodges and resorts while promoting sustainable tourism and preserving Namibia’s natural heritage.
