Partnership between a private sector ecotourism operator and a local community in the Okavango Delta, Botswana: the case of the Okavango Community Trust and Wilderness Safaris

A partnership between private-sector ecotourism and local communities in Botswana's Okavango Delta yields substantial socio-economic benefits to individual households, though broader community distribution remains uneven. The study, based on interviews with ecotourism staff and non-staff, highlights the potential of such collaborations but suggests that overall impact could be enhanced through better benefit distribution strategies.
