| About a Trail of two Cities (Cape Town Tourism) | |
 |
The
tour starts with a visit to the townships where you will encounter
inspiring examples of how impoverished men, women and youth are
building their own houses, growing their own food and developing
skills to turn waste materials into contemporary arts and crafts. |
| You'll be able to support emerging entrepreneurs through buying locally made goods and enjoying the multi-cultural cuisine of the area. | |
You
will also learn about how partnerships between business, governnment
and communities are helping to protect the rich biodiversity of
Cape Town. We take you to a threatened wetland - the only home of
a rare indigenous plant - that has been transformed into a vibrant
community nature reserve, a green jewel within a blighted urban
environment. |
|
Finally,
you will see showcase envirnmental projects that demonstrate how
technology and grassroost approaches have combined to provide people
with a cleaner and healthier living environment. You will observe
how partnerships in the Cape Peninsula National Park, an imminent
World Heritage Site, have cleared alien vegitation in order to reduce
water consumption and promote indigenous growth. You will also experience
what upmarket tourist facilities are doing to reduce their consumption
of resources and what they are doing to work with poor communities
in their midst. |
|
The
Cape Care Route showcases some of the projects where people are
caring for the environment and for each other. Initiated for the
2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, this Trail of Two
Cities celebrates the partnerships that bring prosperity to both
planet and people. |
