Bonty Botumile, Bessie Head Literary Award winner and story teller extraordinaire joins me to discuss cultural tourism in Botswana. We consider the limited cultural experiences that are available for visitors and the opportunity for product development this presents for entrepreneurs. We also discuss the challenge of representing culture in an area with many ethnic groupings and how Bonty developed her cultural tourism product. Listen in if you are interested in visiting Botswana because of its people or if you would like to have a better understanding of what is available to better know the people of the country.
Join us as we branch away from wildlife and safaris and consider the people of the country that make any trip to Botswana unforgettable.
