ABOUT
BRIGITTA ZWANI  TRUST

Tourism is a key priority sector for Botswana, with a particular focus on, amongst others, leisure, MICE, and investment. Bridging the tourism leakage gap is our mandate. Tourism leakages prevent the sector from effectively developing. To mitigate this, it is important to ensure sustainable development of the sector, embrace local culture and authentic experiences and create strong sustainable linkages by enabling locals to provide goods and services to tourism establishments. It is important to engage and involve the local communities. 

​

We would like to promote a culture of LOCAL; buy local, eat local, travel local. Imports result in leakage, our communities need to start becoming more self-sufficient. It is imperative to note that cultural erosion is caused by leakages. If we embrace local culture, stay at local lodges and buy locally-made products then we will be preserving our culture thus creating a strong self-sufficient economy.
