UK funded workshop gives birding tourism a boost

Birding guides and other tropical forest based tour operators were yesterday urged to develop and practice good environmental and social skills in doing their work, as this could help bring more tourists into the country.

Around 50 persons from this thriving industry gathered yesterday at the Bel Air Gardens residence of British High Commissioner, Fraser Wheeler, for the start of a two-day work-shop and during the opening ceremony were pressed to be more positive in their tourism thinking and to work together to address the problems affecting the industry.
