Amarula Trust boosts tourism skills :: Mmegi Online

In a bid to build skills, create job opportunities and promote conservation in Botswana, the non-profit Amarula Trust is funding field guide training for a group of eight young people. They will complete the course, presented by Eco Training, on 4 October.

They are the eighth group in Botswana to be sponsored by the trust, bringing the total number of students to receive such training in southern Africa to 103. Amarula, currently the world’s number two cream liqueur, is produced by the South African-based Distell Group. Its sponsorship forms part of an investment in the communities where it trades.

The 33-day intensive BOTA-accredited Level 1 guiding course covers botany, ecology, zoology and geology, as well as tracking, conservation and guiding, thereby equipping candidates to work as professional guides at lodges and other tourist facilities in Botswana.
