PROJECT ALAOTRA - MODULE NATURE TOURISM
With this module MWC intends to bring sustainable nature tourism
to the region of Alaotra, namely to the village of Andreba. This
will serve as a source of further income to the villagers and
at the same time encourage them to protect their unique environment.
For this MWC has built Camp Bandro, a tourist facility outside
the village and close to the boarder of Lake Alaotra. Camp Bandro
consists of a typical Sihanaka house for accommodation, a separate
kitchen, showers, a toilet as well as a house for a guardian.
The inauguration of Camp Bandro took place at the beginning of
June 2007.
MWC has furthermore trained guides, so that tourist visiting
the village will have the possibility to book a guided boat tour
in a pirogue. On the lake and in the restricted area of the papyrus
marshes, the Bandro Parc, they can observe the rich variety of
birds of Alaotra and, with a little luck, even the bandro.
The module nature tourism is a community based project. Therefore
income from this tourism will partly be used for the village to
finance micro projects such as the construction of public toilets
or wells for the supply of clean drinking water.
