easytrackThemenstarter63 Beiträge · seit 201116. Nov. 2012 · Zu diesem Thema habe ich jetzt schon sehr wiedersprüchliche Meldungen gehört und gelesen, ich möchte aber nicht unterlassen, das Forum auf diese Thematik aufmerksam zu machen: Im Westen der Serengeti, ausserhalb des Parks, soll durch einen US Investor finanziert, ein "internationaler Flughafen" gebaut werden. Was das genau bedeutet, ist in vielerlei Hinsicht unklar: wie gross soll dieser Flughafen werden, wer soll ihn also von wo anfliegen und benutzen? Davon wieder abhängig, welche Auswirkungen hätte dieser Bau auf die Serengeti, welchen Nutzen würde er ggf. der Infrastruktur/der Bevölkerung sowie dem Tourismus bringen?
Der Newsletter von Serengeti Watch im Wortlaut:
"Construction is set to begin soon on the Serengeti International Airport. The location for the new airport will be the town of Mugumu, approximately 25 miles from the northwest border of Serengeti National Park.
Government officials recently confirmed that Paul Tudor Jones, a US billionaire investor who operates a number of upscale lodges in western Serengeti, agreed to finance the construction. Authorities say it will help Tanzania reach its goal of doubling its tourism by 2015.
The airport has many conservation organizations concerned. But there is still confusion over the scale of the project. While government officials say it will allow direct flights from overseas, others close to the project say it will be a small airport that will accept flights from Kenya and within Tanzania. Stay tuned"
