Greater co-ordination among state agencies may well help get several pending projects off the ground. The PND is also missing a more integrated tourism strategy conceived around the development of specific areas as tourism priority economic hubs, allowing for tourism opportunities to be exploited in co-ordination with other policy areas and sectors. Rural areas would lend themselves particularly well to such a strategy, drawing on their connection to the agricultural sector. Yet, the inclusion of mral communities is not perceived as an objective of tourism policy, despite the high potential that exists in making mral communities direct beneficiaries of major tourism attractions around the country.
