Botswana ecotourism refers to the country�s cultural, as well as natural heritage, and that great importance is placed on the active involvement (as opposed to mere participation) of host communities and other Batswana in all aspects of the industry�s management and development. The goal of the National Ecotourism Strategy is to create an environment in which all elements of tourism development planning and management facilitate, promote and reward adherence to the key �principles� of ecotourism by all of those involved in the tourism industry.
