Whatever you may have heard,beauty ’s never only skin deep.In the case of Angola ’s coastal province of Namibe ,an ultra-modern infrastructure net- work has enabled investors and tourists alike to share in the province ’s many treasures.A state-of-the-art international airport,a railway system linking the province to eastern Angola and a harbour capable of mooring ships of up to 150,000 tons are examples of Namibe ’s economic potential.Further efforts are being channelled into diversifying Namibe ’s commercial vocation,taking advantage not only of its unsurpassed natural resources,but also of its strate- gic location as the gateway to the southwestern Africa.These include developing the already vibrant agriculture and fishing industries (Namibe is Angola ’s top agricultural producer and accounts for 65%of Angola ’s fish production)while looking to areas such as mining –the province is rich in diamonds,mica,marble,granite and gypsum amongst others.What ’s more, its location on the west African coast provides Namibe with an excellent climate that,combined with the mile upon mile of uncrowded beaches and the ecotourism paradise of IONA National Park,makes for prime oppor- tunities for tourism development.It is little wonder that in such a setting peace has prevailed. Namibe:catch the wa e while you can.
