Take ecotourism seriously - US Ambassador

“While diamonds can be said to have built the Botswana of today, ecotourism will likely be a primary engine powering the Botswana of tomorrow. The travel and tourism industry continues to surge world wide and competition for international travellers will continue to sharpen,” he said at the annual general meeting of Forest Conservation Botswana (FCB).

The organisation is a result of the governments of the United States of America and the Republic of Botswana Tropical Forest Conservation Act in Africa. The Agreement culminated in the formation of a company called Forest Conservation Botswana which is a non-profit making entity.
