Namibia's Trade in Services Commitments under the World Trade Organisation (WTO)

 

Namibia is a member of WTO since 1 January 1995 and has committed and accepted the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) upon its entry into force in 1995. Namibia has liberalised two service sectors under the GATS which are Business Services (only services related to scientific and technical consulting services such as offshore oil and gas exploration) and Tourism (Hotels & Restaurants and Travel Agencies & Tour Operators Services). The Tourism sector has been fully liberalised in all four modes of supply (cross[1]border supply, consumption abroad, commercial presence and presence of natural persons). These commitments were made beyond the current Government’s control although they can’t be revised at this juncture
