High up in the Hindu Kush Mountains, CAMAT is working for the promotion of culture-rooted and environmentally-friendly tourism. It is a not-for-profit company working for poverty reduction in the field of tourism-- a relatively new sector of community development.
Tourism is a potential sector likely to provide off-farm job opportunities for the indigenous communities—Kalash, Kho and Wakhi—in the mountains of northern Pakistan. This is desperately needed as the ever growing population is causing major natural resource depletion, which results in the degradation of natural biodiversity.
Areas of Intervention:
1. Protection of Natural Environment
2. Protection of Indigenous Culture
3. Capacity Building
4. Networking Building
5. Advocacy
6. Publicity and Promotion
CAMAT is thankful to ECOCLUB International for the great support to promote the cause of tourism in northern Pakistan and Chitral in particular! Thank you ECOCLUB!
