Description:
The community Based Tourism Project shall involve exploitation of the local natural and cutural resources of Kumi District while paying special attention to conservation towards sustainable development.
Proposed strategies to be employed during project implementation include:-
1) Joint support from both on-line and off-line volunteers. The other off-line volunteers’ Action Points on Education & Research are expected to be on-going.2) Attractive packages offering diverse opportunities to satisfy several interests.3) Trainings to be practical i.e. combining classroom activities with field practice.4) Engage knowledgeable, environmentally and the culturally aware when training the existing local community group; also engage members familiar with the areas to be visited.5) Develop/promote local resources and local expertise. This translates into import savings, environmentally sound designs; and local participation in the travel industry.6) Each off-line volunteer requested to meet their travel costs and contribute a facilitation fee of $300 (to cater for not more than 30 days) towards accommodation, feeding, security, field work. Any saving made goes towards facilitating other programme activities/components.7) Work camps’ (1-3 weeks) participants (a part from local community members) shall be expected to contribute a participation fee of $250 also towards programme sustainability.8) As a communication/marketing strategy, among others the Website, Post cards, Brochures, Partners, Visitors and Work camps shall be used for publicity/advertising the Tourism activities. This calls for quality service delivery. 9) In partnership with other companies, offer interested tourists with tour and travel opportunities/services outside the target project area/district (Kumi District).10) Visiting volunteers to notify the team at least a month before intended date of travel for booking/planning.11) Trainings to take 2-3 hrs (10:00am-1:00pm) a day to minimize costs and to allow community members & volunteers perform other duties.12) Merge Construction and Thematic Theatre for Development when implementing Work camps. Pertinent issues/theme shall include HIV/AIDS, Leadership (Democracy & Good Governance) and Gender issues (Gender Balance & Sensitivity); while construction shall involve: - putting up a campsite and Constructing Board Walks across some identified water sources (rivers and lakes) for convenience so that among others visitors do not have to go the same way. NB: Local Community youth involvement is emphasized/encouraged. Among others they could help out when it comes to going to the neigbouring schools, identifying the elderly and interviewing them, writing about life in Omiito, etc (as a way of community participation).
