1. The Hachange Village – A visit to the village is a delightful experience that easily covers three to four hours without additional activities. The village is beautifully maintained and very attractive. In addition to the crafts and produce offered for sale, it is recommended that additional activities be developed with and around the village.
2. The Hachange Reservoir – A committee volunteered to approach the local authorities for permission to use the south side of the reservoir for non-invasive boating activities such as canoeing and fishing. It was recommended that an effort be made to secure second hand canoes and fishing boats to be donated to the village. It was agreed that the village should benefit from offering the boat rentals. It was also suggested to develop a small shaded area along the shore for picnics and (eventually) local dishes to be served, prepared by the villagers.
3. Local craft and farm fairs – It was recommended that a committee be formed to approach the local village chiefs to revive the original annual festival and expand on it with additional activities, showcasing the local farm produce, arts and crafts.
4. Culinary Training – For the providers and their chefs to meet and identify priorities to present a workshop format to Mrs. Tembo and work out a cost structure acceptable to all.
5. Lochinvar National Park – For the local providers to participate in the securing of funding to implement the Safari park proposal. For local providers to ensure that the funding made available to improve the road to Lochinvar is invested as intended. Nasson was encouraged to research the option on the Lochinvar property. Because of its condition and minimal investment requirements to reinstate it, local providers could pool their resources and consider the revitalization themselves, or maybe qualify for a grant or funding to restore the property.
6. Cultural Revival/Preservation – This aspect of tourism development was discussed in detail during the program development workshops in Monze and Mansa. Identical to the program concept outlined for the Chiefs in the Monze area, it was recommended that the group form a committee to arrange for meetings with the local Chiefs to identify and develop the objectives:

1. To test for water and determine the feasibility of a borehole and water storage facility before proceeding with any subsequent plans for development.
2. To carefully promote the safari camp and destination as a wilderness with a unique and extensive fauna and not mislead tourist into misrepresentations of finding wildlife as in other national parks and leave disappointed.
3. In consideration of the intent to make this an area that caters to foreign and Zambian tourists for weekend stays, as well as local people looking for a day out, the bar and restaurant areas, and kitchen facilities need to be more than minimal in capacity and ability to service. The possibility was discussed to build an elevated deck around the large tree overlooking the lagoon, which will step down to a lower deck for dining.
4. To create greater separation between the camping area, associated ablution block and self-catering kitchen and the main bar and dining facilities, to protect the privacy of the campers and to not diminish the experience of the day visitors.
5. To build simple wooden platforms for tent erection to discourage small critters from entering tents and to make tents available for rent.
6. Solar lighting was discouraged because of its low voltage and unreliability. It was recommended that propane gas tanks be used for cooking and gas lamps for lighting.
7. The acquisition of mini buses for transportation from Monze was discouraged. While the purchase of safari vehicles would be appropriate, the transportation business is best left to a transportation provider, more so since such mini buses would need to be used for other activities and trips to be viable.
8. It was not clear to what extent the ZWA would be involved in the operation of the safari camp and its operations, but the availability of scouts to accompany safari tours was not mentioned in the proposal. It is recommended that this component be addressed and included. Neither walking, nor driving safaris should be conducted without the protection of trained scouts.
9. Without substantial road improvements, the drive from Monze to the proposed safari camp is too long to make it a comfortable one-day outing for most visitors. Adding the additional time to get to the lagoon for boating or fishing activities is not recommended at this time. The lagoon is too large for meaningful or safe canoeing.

The reservoir empties into a rock and ledge riverbed on the north side, an area used by local people for picnics, swimming and washing. It would be possible to develop a beach area along the shore next to the dam, where the reservoir is deeper and the shores are sandy and dry.

The experience was unique and memorable, and if not intrusive or disrespectful of the cultural reverence, could be used in tourism development on a limited basis and still by invitation only. The local Tonga tribe holds a ceremony in July, which used to be a celebration lasting a few days and attracted a large following. It was conveyed that in the past few years the ceremony was affected by political interference and suffered in expression and attendance.

A concept presented in Livingstone in 2001 but not built out and explored for further development at the time was broached again during the second visit to Zambia. The opportunity presented itself in Monze where the local DBA director, Emmanuel Mutale, introduced a group of local Chiefs, gathering at the Monze Hotel for a conference in Lusaka. In a meeting with Chief Nalubamba, Chief Chikanta and Chief Choongo, the following tourism development initiative was presented:

1. The skills available or those which can be developed to revive the arts and crafts and generate an interest among the younger generations to learn these skills, particularly with regard to musical instruments, dance, costumes, masks, weavings, baskets, copper work, wood carving and pottery.
2. To develop opportunities for small groups of travelers to visit artisans in the villages, observe village life, watch the artisans at work, share in the music and dance, to allow for cultural interaction, and experience traditions and purchase artifacts and crafts.
3. To work with the local village schoolteachers to engage the children in collecting, writing and illustrating the stories and tales passed down through the generations. To compile these stories into small booklets to be published and offered for sale at local guesthouses, gift shops, etc, and the purchase value generated for the village to be deposited in a trust fund to benefit education and health.
4. To collect, in cooperation with the schools, the herbal recipes and preparations used and also compile them into small booklets for purchase from the villages and sale around the providers and gift shops.
