Nice presentation thanks.

Thanks once again ma'am.

Understood.

From your profile, you've been to other tourist destinations.

What's your sense about the potential of this area to be comparable to those as an out of town destination of choice (transportation access, security, existing amenities etc)?

Or is it more likely going to be an 'off the beaten path' adventure for intrepids like yourself?

Thanks.

@jabolo I believe it has a lot of potential but the right kind of development needs to be done. Meaning preserving the natural surroundings and getting a better understanding of what kind of wild life is available in the surroundings. And then promoting the knowledge of the surroundings as part of the package to visitors will give it the added touch required.

Controlled/regulated access as well as regular maintenance would also be of importance e.g. facilities like Lufasi and Afi Mountain Drill have done a good job of it

Thanks for taking the time. The problem there is no single authority or organization with interest in tourism is responsible for the area.

It was allocated to the original FCT indigenes who have since parcelled them out to sell to outsiders.

I fear it will be allowed to develop haphazardly with encroachment into currently virgin areas.

that is a pity
