This report, submitted to the Namibia Development Trust, focuses on the implementation of a community-based visual display to increase tourism in Maltahohe, Namibia. After spending time researching the history of the area and conducting interviews with local elders to obtain detailed oral history and culture of the town, we were able to construct a visual representation inside the newly constructed tourist center. We also made recommendations on how the community members will be able to maintain the displays over time.
