We hope you will find something of interest in the enclosed programme of excursions – ranging from cultural and historical visits and walks to natural history tours. Some of our excursions are designed to involve the local community as much as possible for two reasons. Firstly, because we recognise them as important stakeholders who should share in the financial benefits of tourism and second, we believe it is important that the local community play a lead role in the conser- vation of our cultural and natural heritage. Resident naturalists are employed at Jetwing Hotels with several objectives in mind. The first is that they are available to educate the guests of the hotel about the natural environment and the culture found in and around the hotel.
