Infrastructure development is an ongoing process in Botswana. In 2002/2003, 10 new lodges were built varying in size and standards, including the world-class Gaborone International Convention Centre. The government also encourages man-made tourism attractions to help diversify Botswana’s tourism product. A current project being development in the Tsabong area for the Kgalakgadi has provided 37 youths in the communities with basic training in camel husbandry, training, and tourism. The camels will provide the local people with a secure food source, income, and employment as well as power, transport, milk, meat, and other by-products to improve their economic well-being.
