BTO CEO Keitumetse Setlang to Address NextGen Tourism Business Expo 2025. The upcoming NextGen Tourism Business Expo 2025, set for 2 October at the Protea Hotel by Marriott in Gaborone, has confirmed Botswana Tourism Organisation (BTO) Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Keitumetse Setlang, as one of its key speakers.

Her participation signals strong institutional support for the event, which is expected to be a platform for dialogue, innovation, and business exchange within Botswana’s growing tourism sector. Entrepreneurs, business leaders, and stakeholders will have the opportunity to engage directly with BTO’s leadership on opportunities and challenges shaping the industry.

The Expo comes at a time when Botswana’s tourism is seeking to expand its value chain beyond traditional safari offerings, with increasing focus on cultural tourism, community-based initiatives, and business-driven solutions. By featuring high-level voices such as Ms. Setlang’s, the gathering aims to inspire fresh thinking and encourage collaboration between the private sector and public institutions.

For entrepreneurs, the Expo provides a space to explore new markets, partnerships, and investment opportunities in tourism-related businesses, from hospitality to transport, technology, and creative services. With Botswana positioning itself as a sustainable and competitive destination, discussions at the Expo are expected to highlight strategies that align with global trends while strengthening local capacity.

The one-day programme will bring together industry professionals, innovators, and changemakers to chart a path for inclusive growth in tourism. For local businesses, the event represents not only an opportunity to learn but also to showcase how entrepreneurship can drive transformation in one of Botswana’s key economic sectors.
