There is potential for considerable expansion of community benefits from tourism in
Namibia. For example, incomes earned by local workers and communities from tourism
enterprises could increase three-fold in the communal areas of Caprivi, Bushmanland, and
Kunene -- even without any increase in the natural resource base or decrease in
agricultural land-use -- based on estimates by Barnes.5
By raising local incomes and
developing skills, this expansion can contribute to sustainable local development and
community based conservation. At the same time, involvement of local people in the
industry improves the tourism product and enhances popular support for the industry.
Wages paid to local staff by private operations, such as up-market lodges, will continue to
account for the bulk of local incomes from tourism. However, income that is earned and
controlled by the community is probably more significant at boosting local development and
conservation because it can be distributed more widely, linked more visibly to wildlife
conservation, and involves development of local skills, institutions and decision-making.
This income can be earned from campsites, crafts and other community enterprises (N$2-
20,000 per year), voluntary revenue-sharing by lodges (N$10-15,000 per year), and joint
ventures between communities and investors (N$20-80,000 per year). Barnes' estimates
of current and potential tourism activities Caprivi, Bushmanland and Kunene indicate that
crafts income could double and other community-enterprises expand five-fold. Emergence
of joint ventures will depend on communities forming conservancies.
