The push back against COVID-19 continues in the tourism sector with several eco-lodges positioning themselves to return to the business of welcoming tourists.
The lodges are a source of employment for persons in the communities and following the drop in tourist traffic due to COVID-19, their livelihood was negatively affected. The re-opening of these lodges was a long-awaited relief for these communities.
The Canadian High Commission in a release yesterday announced that operators and staff from the Rewa, Surama and Caiman House Eco-lodges have recently completed COVID-19 training and certification to facilitate the re-opening of their eco-lodges to safely bring tourists back to their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
