Investor calls for increase in trophy hunting quota

Harry Charalambous, a Motswana of Greek origin has called for an increase in quota for game hunting in the area, saying it attracts billionaires from Europe and America to Botswana. He said he hosts Russian billionaire and Chelsea owner, Roman Abromovich every year for trophy hunting in Botswana. Charalambous pays approximately P10 million a year to four community trusts in  Chobe, Sankuyo, Mababe, and Okavango from proceeds earned from trophy hunting.

However he thinks Botswana can still do more, by increasing its wildlife quota to attract trophy hunters and increase returns.
