01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

Our businesses will contribute to local economies by bringing growth and innovation to the community in which the business is established. Our business will help stimulate economic growth by providing employment opportunities to people who may not be employable by larger corporations. Small businesses tend to attract talent who invent new products or implement new solutions for existing ideas. Larger businesses also often benefit from small businesses within the same local community, as many large corporations depend on small businesses for the completion of various business functions through outsourcing.

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your project intends to provide (at least 3).

- Employment creation for the local community - Small businesses, like any business, need to stand out from the crowd in order to survive. They must serve a legitimate need in the community and do it better than their competitors. Having multiple small businesses all striving to be unique, innovative, and better can result in a healthy marketplace and well-served consumers. - Circulating money in the same locality helps that community thrive. A strong network of local funds enables individuals and businesses within a community to support each other. - As our business will be making profit, we will also be paying income tax to the government according to the income tax act of Namibia for close corporations.

01.04 Please describe who exactly your project is aimed at serving. Who are the targeted beneficiaries?

We target both the local and international community travelers. The campsites will enable people to experience Namibia by sleeping under the stars, cooking on an open fire and spend quality time with your loved ones. Camping is also one of the most economical ways of seeing the country. Switch off your smart phones and sit back and relax and enjoy nature. Most campsites offer a braai and shaded seating area, washing-up facilities and a top deck sundowner spot. Exquisite ablution facilities and hot water showers made with a traditional ‘donkey’ fire. We are committed to embracing latest and advanced services and tourism management practice. We are competent, experienced and professional in every facet of tourism setting that address the travelers’ and our business partners' need and expectations. We are committed to making our guests feel at home during their stay in Namibia.
