person tourism is part of life. Therefore, Malagasy people have
opinions about tourism that are based on their life experience of
living with tourists. Some of these experiences are positive and some
are negative.
We all believe that tourism benefits Madagascar. With our open
letters, we hope to communicate some of the positive and negative
consequences of tourism—with the desire of increasing tourism for the
benefit of Madagascar.
Your voices have been heard. Your open letters have collectively presented a people proud of their country and heritage who want to both protect and share. I appreciate the viewpoint of each writer, as like you say...they have all had different experiences and they were each communicated beautifully and honestly.
ReplyDeleteYour island looks beautiful, rich, diverse, and an ecological treasure that must be both treasured and protected. You are taking the first steps to do all of these things through your education and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Truly, Stephanie
