Tourism must benefit local communities – Gaolathe

Addressing the Tourism Pitso, which attracted hundreds of delegates from the tourism industry and relevant stakeholders over the weekend, Gaolathe highlighted the need for communities living near wildlife habitats to have access to basic services like clean water and medical services.

"Some communities have lived their entire life surrounded by the beauty that draws tourists from across the globe. Tourism must not be a spectacle enjoyed by a few whilst neighbouring communities remain on the margins,” he said.
