Around three-quarters of our respondents were male and one quarter female. The majority
(78.6%) was aged between 26–60. Around one third of our respondents had completed only
primary school and about the same percentage were high school graduates. A very small
percentage (10.6%) was university graduates. Almost half (46.7%) of the total respondents
were running vending types of enterprise and the other half indicated involvement in either
hotel (37.3%) or leisure activities (16%). Full-time employment was noted from 58.7% of the
participants. Regarding income from ecotourism activities only half of the respondents were
in the fourth quartile (75–100%) range (see Table II).
