Community-based ecotourism
Mangrove custodial association members are trained as guides for ecotourism activities as a possible alternative source of income. Visitors learn about locals’ regular activities such as fishing, catching crabs or collecting molluscs. They are then given the experience of preparing and consuming the mangrove’s bounty.
- Organisation with committees
- Support from governments or corporations to train guides
- Collaboration with tourism sector
- Advertisements
Institutionalised management is the key to connect tourism service providers with customers. Publicity is needed to attract tourists as well as resources like boats for visitor’s transport in the different concession zones.
