Community based tourism in Namibia
 Namibia has outstanding natural resources which offer valuable tourism potential, and the conservation of such resources is a prominent concern for the country. A key feature of this conservation agenda is community benefits from natural resources which is challenging in the light of isolated remote areas, lacking basic public services and infrastructure and with under-developed human and social capital.    Through a number of linked activities, ComMark supports efforts around the enabling environment for tourism development in Namibia, as well as the effective integration of communities into a modern, sophisticated expert service industry. The pioneering status in conservation and tourism linkages applied in Namibia are being documented and adapted for implementation across the Southern African region.
