It is also important to review thecurrent framework for tourism development,including destination of tourism revenues• NACOMA can support feasibility studies andimplementation of new or improved tourismprojects in the regions (through targetedinvestments) including some specified in theRDPs.• NACOMA can promote local participation intourism activities in protected areas along thecoast through targeted investments.• It is important to build on existing tourism plans(e.g. Hardap Region Tourism Plan) or preparenew tourism plans in line with the RDP, such asfor the Karas Region.• NACOMA can support environmental trainingof tourism operators and other players in thesector• NACOMA will build capacity in terms ofenvironmental assessment and monitoring ofmining activities37
