Village Tourism in Zambia

Kanchan (Who am I?) | Aug 11 2006

A new tourism concept called ‘village tourism‘ has been introduced by Thorn Tree Safaris. The concept cannot be truly regarded as new as it has been explored under ‘agritourism’ The concept means living with the villagers getting a feel of their culture and food habits .

According to Stephanie Gabriel, it is aimed at showcasing the hospitality of Zambians. It’s a two way process in which the villagers are also helped and the guests entertained. Thorn Tree has aligned with Miyamba and Chipwa villages. The Zambia National Tourist Board (ZNTB) will this year be promoting Luapula and Northern provinces through the ‘Visit Zambia 2006′ campaign.

This is an exciting concept which Travellon is also marketing in Zimbabwe with the vision to expand the concept into the Southern African Region through the creation of networks with national bodies. Travellon is still in the process of identifying potential partners and will be happy if we can start sharing experiences on this form of tourism.
