Community tourism press conference

A group of private professionals ranging from academic, legal, tourism and entrepreneurs who have committed to developing impoverished communities in a true spirit of UBUNTU.

The purpose of the study tour is to learn about the internationally-recognized 'Villages as Businesses' Model of Community Tourism, which highlights the village lifestyle built on unique natural, cultural and human capital. Nikki De Pina, Lead Partner and Consultant, South Africa, in anticipation of the trip said "It is our intention to learn about the successful Jamaican Model and to apply it to a South African context... Video clips of the Jamaican Study Tour will be showcased at South Africa's Tourism Indaba later this year".
