Comments on: Key tourism stakeholders back N2 toll road on environmentally sensitive Wild Coast http://www.swc.org.za/key-tourism-stakeholders-back-n2-toll-road-on-environmentally-sensitive-wild-coast.htm Sustaining and Saving the Wild Coast Thu, 05 May 2011 10:49:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Eckart Schumann http://www.swc.org.za/key-tourism-stakeholders-back-n2-toll-road-on-environmentally-sensitive-wild-coast.htm/comment-page-1#comment-5463 Eckart Schumann Sat, 27 Dec 2008 19:00:51 +0000 http://www.swc.org.za/key-tourism-stakeholders-back-n2-toll-road-on-environmentally-sensitive-wild-coast.htm#comment-5463 It has yet to be explained how a toll road with limited access roads and few places to cross it will 'open up' the Wild Coast to tourists. Far better - and cheaper - to improve the existing road, and also the access roads to specific tourist resorts. This will accommodate the criticism levelled by Sanele, and also allow tourists to reach resorts, while conserving the incfredible biodiversity of the region. These aspects are further detailed in my novel Patterns of Change, published by Eloquent Books, New York.
