maximizing
appeal and generating synergies and efficiencies of scale. These lodges would be in key tourism
growth areas with reasonable accessibility for guests and Members. The
venture is primarily concerned and committed to the long-term conservation
of the few remaining pristine wildlife areas and believes that the future of
wildlife areas is dependant on a strong committed working relationship
between Government, private investors and the local communities that live
alongside these wildlife areas. Tourism activities must remain sensitive to
the integrity of wildlife areas whilst offering real benefits to local
communities. By initiating and pioneering ecotourism based projects, IIA
Management will ensure that all parties benefit from the limited resources
available. These projects provide local communities with opportunities to
share in the income of lodges as well as the creation of jobs and training,
thereby uplifting the whole community whilst preserving the wildlife areas. |
