Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Presenting this year\u2019s domestic tourism festive season campaign, Choose Eswatini!<\/b><\/p>\n

The message is simple \u2013 skip the cross-border travel costs and make the decision to stay in Eswatini and relish the myriad of exciting holiday available for you and your loved ones to explore this festive season.<\/p>\n

Launched by the Minister of Tourism and Environmental Affairs, MP Moses Vilakati at the Happy Valley Hotel, the Choose Eswatini campaign is also supported by the hashtags #PholaEswatini, #PhumulaEswatini and #NgcebelekaEswatini.<\/p>\n

A call to every Liswati, the campaign is aimed at encouraging families and friends to enjoy group travel; couples to indulge in romantic getaways and pensioners so that they too know that Eswatini is theirs to explore.<\/p>\n

We are reminding you, once again, that the ultimate holiday experiences await you across the four regions of Eswatini. From Shiselweni\u2019s scenic splendour and Hhohho\u2019s highland adventures, to thrilling wildlife safaris in the Lubombo and the vibrant dining and shopping experiences in the Manzini region, Eswatini truly is the perfect holiday destination for all ages this festive season.<\/p>\n

Choose Eswatini assures you that regardless of which part of the country you decide to visit, you will not regret staying in Eswatini. It implores Emaswati and tourists from across the region to consider and pursue Eswatini as their official festive season destination for that much-needed rest and relaxation.<\/p>\n

Making his remarks at the campaign\u2019s launch event, the minister unpacked the campaign\u2019s objectives and its benefit to local tourists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe campaign call to action will manifest in the promotion of Eswatini tourism packages designed by local tour operators. The aim is to inform Emaswati\u2019s local holiday plans and clearly present all the diverse experiences, activities and accommodation options we can enjoy,\u201d explained the minister.<\/p>\n

The minister went on to commend the role that tour operators have played in promoting domestic tourism.<\/p>\n

\u201cTour Operators are the heroes of our industry. Most of them are young people fuelled by a strong passion for Eswatini\u2019s tourism products.<\/p>\n

They are the reason some people have been able to see places they never knew existed in our country. Tour Operators also play an incredible role in ushering our regional and international guests to the Eswatini\u2019s unique attraction sites that make them want to visit again,\u201d said the Minister.<\/p>\n

As with every ETA campaign, we are running exciting competitions on the Eswatini Tourism social media pages for the target demographics \u2013 families, friends, couples and pensioners. This week we announced the first winner for the Friends competition on our Instagram page (@eswatini_tourism). The prize is a holiday for four friends to enjoy a 1-night\u2019s stay at Mhlumeni Bush Camp in their luxury tents plus hiking activities.<\/p>\n

The next competition will be for families. It will be run on our Facebook page (Eswatini Tourism) from November 17 to 19 November. The prize is one-night\u2019s stay at KaMsholo Bushveld Safaris for a family of four people. Activities will include a game drive and horse riding.<\/p>\n
