The concept
of Ecotourism, like the African pot, is reliant on three key elements,
without which it would not exist. The African pot relies on its three legs to stand.
Ecotourism relies on the combination of Community, Conservation and
Tourism to survive.
The Tortilis Africa Foundation, a not-for-profit Section 21 company,
has been created in order to contribute to the protection and
conservation of the remaining wilderness regions in Africa. Each |
|
|
Investment and Participating
lodge will develop a 'community development
program' together with the relevant community, with the key objective of
making a contribution to sustainable local community development and
upliftment.
The Tortilis Africa Foundation seeks to provide a service that takes
cognisance of the broader conservation, environmental and social issues
and makes a recognizable contribution to the communities within which
the lodges operate. |
