Quieren potenciar el turismo haciendo descuentos a quienes esten mas dias y visiten mas parques
The Rwanda Development Board yesterday announced an increase in the price of gorilla permits from US$750 to US$1,500 for all visitors effective immediately.
A new exclusive package for tourists who wish to book an entire family of gorillas was also introduced at US$15,000, and will receive exclusive personalized tour guide services.
The price increase will not affect tourists who had already purchased their tickets at the time of this announcement.
Tourists who visit other national parks (Nyungwe and Akagera) for a minimum of three days, in addition to gorilla trekking, will receive a discount of 30%.
Similarly, conference tourists who stay pre- or post-conference dates to see gorillas will be eligible for a 15% discount.
In line with Rwanda’s high-end tourism strategy, the price increase aims to strengthen conservation efforts and contribute more to the development of communities living around the Volcanoes National Park.
Along with the new tariff, the tourism revenue sharing rate for communities adjacent to the park will also increase from 5% to 10%, which will quadruple the absolute revenues received by communities.
Over the last 12 years, more than 400 community projects have been completed including hospitals, schools, business development centers and water supply systems to facilitate access to clean water.
These projects directly benefit the people living around the parks.
Clare Akamanzi, the Chief Executive Officer at Rwanda Development Board said: “Gorilla trekking is a highly unique experience. We have raised the price of permits in order to ensure sustainability of conservation initiatives and enhance visitors’ experience. We also want to make sure that the communities living near the park area receive a bigger share of tourism revenues to fund development projects and empower them economically.”
New, high-end lodges are opening in Musanze and plans are underway to improve visitors’ experience at Kinigi, including renovation of the information center to equip it with modern offices and tourism services such as conservation education, children’s learning space as well as digital facilities.
Mountain gorillas are an endangered species with only around 880 remaining in the world. Of those in in the Virunga Massif, Rwanda accounts for 62% of the gorilla population.
Stringent conservation measures have significantly contributed to a rise in gorilla numbers.
There are currently 20 families habituated for tourism and research in Rwanda, up from just 9 families in 2010.
No parece una explicación muy convincente. Y menos explicarlo en base a que pasan de darle un 5% a las comunidades de alrededor, a darle un 10.... y la cuenta según ellos es que asi recibirán 4 veces la cantidad. Eso seria cierto, si fuesen los mismos turistas que cobrando la mitad.
A mi me da la impresión de que mucha gente no va a poder pagar esa diferencia, que ya era una barbaridad y que no va a ir tanta gente.

Para mi si que hay diferencia

He estado investigando el tema excursiones a Fraser Island desde Hervey Bay y comentaros que la empresa Unique Fraser, que ofrecía un tour muy completo de un día, no está disponible desde finales de Marzo. El tour de dos días ya no lo ofrecen y el de un día a partir de Abril tampoco se puede reservar en su web. Les contacté por mail, pero no me han contestado, así que no sé el motivo pero parece que dejan de estar operativos.
Me interesaba Unique Fraser porque su tour de dos días era en grupos reducidos (12 personas), pero la única alternativa para dos días que he encontrado desde Hervey Bay es Fraser Explorer en grupos de 40. Esta empresa ofrece un tour premium con grupos reducidos, pero sólo para la excursión de un día. Para la de dos días hay que ir en autobuses 4x4 de 40 personas.... nuestro gozo en un pozo!
Por otro lado están los tours guiados de varios coches 4x4 en caravana (2 días), pero aparte de que la mayoría salen de Rainbow Beach o de Noosa, en mi opinión no aprovechan bien el tiempo: se llega a la isla casi al mediodía del primer día y se regresa a mediodía el segundo día. Gran parte del tiempo se pasa haciendo la compra de provisiones, ayudando a preparar la comida o la cena o haciendo actividades en grupo, y la impresión que nos da es que van dirigidos a gente más joven, de entre unos 18 y 30 años (alguna compañía como Cool Dingo directamente limita sus tours a esta franja de edad, 18-35). Nosotros estamos en la franja de los 40 ya y buscamos aprovechar al máximo el tiempo... jeje!
Como no nos convence ninguna de esas opciones, finalmente vamos a lanzarnos a la aventura e iremos por libre. Hemos alquilado un 4x4 para dos días con Fraser Magic. De momento todas las gestiones previas con esta compañía muy bien, la atención al cliente perfecta despejándonos todas las dudas al momento y no cobran nada por anticipado, se paga una vez allí (únicamente hay un cargo de 35$ de gastos de cancelación si se decide cancelar hasta 3 semanas antes). Nos han reservado ya los ferrys de ida y vuelta (ida a las 8:30 de la mañana el primer día y vuelta a las 5 de la tarde del día siguiente, aprovechando a tope) y los permisos para conducir por la isla. También tendremos una sesión formativa la tarde anterior al primer día de alquiler para enseñarnos los truquillos para conducir por la isla. Nos diseñarán un posible itinerario en función de nuestros gustos y de las mareas y nos darán mapas y toda la información necesaria. Además si llegas a Hervey Bay en vehículo propio (campervan de alquiler en nuestro caso) te lo guardan gratis en su parking durante el tiempo que pasas en la isla.
En cuanto al alojamiento, te dan la opción de alquilar con ellos mismos un pack de camping que incluye todo lo necesario para acampar en la isla (permisos, tienda, material para cocinar, etc) o bien dormir en alguno de los alojamientos de la isla (desde Fraser Magic nos pasaron toda la información al respecto de cada uno de ellos). Nosotros hemos decidido quedarnos en el Beachcamp Eco-Retreat, en unas tiendas de campaña permanentes con baño privado que tienen muy buena pinta, justo frente a la playa. Sería una opción intermedia entre un camping y un hotel. Nos incluye desayuno y tenemos cocina común para prepararnos la cena. Sale a 125 $ la noche la tienda para dos personas.

Mai Chau is located around 135km from Hanoi at Hoa Binh province, stay in a peaceful valley sheltered by the outside world by a dramatic ring of hills. On the way coming to Mai Chau , you will have chance to pass through the top of Cun mountain, from there you can take a fabulous overview of the valley with the houses on stilt and paddy fields, bring the first impression about culture of Mai Chau –Hoa Binh.
Lac village is located in Mai Chau valley, Hoa Binh Province with unique traditions. Hoa Binh province is far about 70 kilometers from Hanoi; tourists must go 60 kilometers to Mai Chau. Lac village has 5 Thai ethnic: Ha, Lo, Mac, and Loc. According to the head of Lac village -Ha Cong Tim, Lac village has over 700 years old. Previously, the professions of the local people were rice planting and weaving brocade. Later, the hidden beauty of Lac village is explored by tourists.
In 1993, DPC in Mai Chau proposal Hoa Binh province allow tourists to stay overnight in the village. Therefore, the name of Lac village has been well known as a “bright spot” on the tourist’s map of Vietnam.
Daily Life in Lac Village
From weaving scarf, brocade dress to wear, women in the village have made a lot of souvenirs for tourists such as: scarf, skirts, lovely wallet… Coming to Lac village, tourists can enjoy bamboo cooked rice, experience their daily life. Ethnic people are very gentle, friendly. In the afternoon, there has strangely beautiful with the rays of the sun into the valley. Lac villagers will roast meat, cook a pot of bitter bamboo for tourists. They can enjoy traditional dishes and listening to the thrill gongs.
Visiting to Lac Village, all kinds of tiredness will be disappeared. The range of mountain blends with cloud and green of rice fields along with stilted houses creates spectacular scene of Lac village. Let’s join Mai Chau valley tours and spend holiday in here to experience exciting feeling.
It would be lacking of interesting if tourists not to go the Lac’s market. There includes small simple stalls. Locals are considered as a funny and enthusiastic tour guide who shows tourists strange items.
With Mai Chau tour 2 days 1 night or Mai Chau tour 3 days, you should choose to stay overnight at stilt houses in Lac village and enjoy traditional music show in evening. Stay ovenight fee: around 50.000vnd/people

Ventajas: acampas en la playa que es lo que estáis buscando y puedes conducir el 4x4 pero vas con monitores por lo que si te quedas tirado en la arena te ayudan de inmediato.
Contra: no es contra en si pero requiere tres días y a veces no es fácil encajarlo en el itinerario... en nuestro caso decidimos incluirlo porque nos apetecía mucho, nos pareció un sitio especial. Buscábamos hacer tour de dos días una noche pero aunque si lo hacen, en esa modalidad no conduces coche sino que vas en bus y nosotros queríamos conducir.
Consejo: huid de los buses 4x4 son una turistada.
Y para ir hasta alla desde Airlie Beach, además eel vuelo tenéis el bus. Yo lo cogí a las 19 de la tarde en Airlie Beach y llegamos a las 8 de la mañana a Hervey Bay. Ese mismo día fuimos a la excursión de avistamiento de ballenas y al día siguiente salimos para Fraser. El año pasado se podía salir desde Hervey Bay, este año creo que te hacen ir a Noosa o Rainbow Beach como punto de partida.
Muchísimas gracias por toda la información!
Estoy acabando de organizar la ruta y a ver cuantos días podemos dedicarle a Fraser... Estamos entre la excursión de un día con Unique Fraser + avistamiento de ballenas que recomiendan en este mismo hilo o dedicar algún día más a Fraser (pero haciendo la actividad de las ballenas sí o sí).
Si nos da para todo, lo ideal sería dos días en Fraser y otro viendo ballenas; tres creo yo que se nos va...
Ymir, teníamos la misma duda que tu. Es decir, si visitar Fraser 2 días o hacer 1 día Fraser y otro ballenas.
Lo de ver ballenas desde Indian Head, nosotros no vimos. Ellos ponen en muchos Tours en Australia que se pueden ver tal y tal, pero no es nada seguro. Son animales en libertad y tu no estas más que un rato en los sitios. Nosotros no vimos ballenas desde Indian Head ni tiburones, pero las vistas son muy chulas. Si vieras una ballena la verias desde muy lejos, es decir, inturirias poco mas que una sombra negra en el mar.
Si las quieres ver de bien cerca, dando coletazos y si tienes suerte saltando al lado, entonces coge el tour de Avistaje de ballenas. Merece la pena. No hay muchos sitios donde puedas hacerlo.
Nosotros nos decantamos por hacerlo y hacer Fraser en un día. Descubrimos la empresa Unique Fraser y la recomendamos totalmente. Esta empresa se anuncia como la única que visita Indian Head y Champagne Pools en un día. Es una forma de paliar no estar 2 días en Fraser, ya que ves un par de cosas que se hace en el tour de 2 días. Además están chulas. Les da tiempo a hacerlo porque vas en un 4*4 mientras que otras van en un bus enorme. Nosotros fuimos 6 personas y coincidimos con 2 españoles encantadores. El guía llevaba 17 años yendo a Fraser. El año pasado fue 345 días. Imaginate si se sabe los caminos. Además no sé si fue casualidad o un derecho adquirido por ir desde hace años, pero el 4*4 en el ferry salió el primero disparado para recorrer la isla por lo que llegabas de los primeros. Si a eso le sumas que grabaron toda la excursión con un drone y suben a youtube un vídeo superchulo. ya roza la perfección. No se si lo hacen todos los días lo del drone.

The Liberty Helicopter Tour $139 + $30 Heliport Fee – If you want a quick helicopter tour of NYC, this fifteen minute tour ensures you see sites such as the Statue of Liberty, Governor’s and Ellis Island, the spectacular views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges, the South Street Seaport and the Wall Street Financial Center. All of these sites are remarkable and give tourists the best view of some of New York’s finest attractions.
The Central Park Tour $206 + $30 Heliport Fee – This is a popular helicopter tour in NYC that lasts approximately nineteen minutes. Famous sites most seen in movies and in the news are toured with your comfort in mind. See Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty from a point of view that is unique and awe-inspiring. The next stop is the Empire State Building followed by a view of Central Park that is second to none. You will be flying along the Hudson River and viewing the Intrepid Air, Sea, and Space Museum during the tour of a lifetime. The fun does not stop there; next you will make a grand sweep of the Yankee Stadium and the George Washington Bridge.
The Grand Helicopter Tour $295 + $30 Heliport Fees – For those that want to view even more of New York City, the Grand Helicopter Tour visits all of the places in the previous tours and more within twenty five minutes. Besides seeing the tour sites from the Liberty and Central Park Tours, you will view such sites as the Verrazano Bridge, uptown, midtown and the downtown skyline of Manhattan and New Jersey Palisades. This is indeed the most grand tour of New York City.
Pongo un posible recorrido de aprox unas 3,5-4h. Vamos a hacer esto en orden (realmente son miradores menos un trail corto y otro medio corto). La info está copiada del folleto del parque, pero como hay poca info sobre este parque, creo útil dejarlo así aquí para que a vista de pájaro alguien se haga la idea de como visitarlo.
1. SEVEN SISTERS: Fascinating red rock formations are easily accessible from the road. Picnic areas provide a relaxing stop during your Valley tour.
2. MOUSE’S TANK: Named for a renegade who used the area as a hideout in the 1890s, Mouse’s Tank is a natural basin in the rock where water collects after rainfalls, sometimes remaining for months. A half-mile, round-trip trail leads to Mouse’s Tank from the trailhead parking area, passing numerous examples of prehistoric petroglyphs.
3. FIRE CANYON/SILICA DOME: From this vantage point there is an excellent view of the deep red sandstone of Fire Canyon and the unique geological features of Silica Dome.
4. RAINBOW VISTA: A favorite photo point with a panoramic view of multi-colored sandstone.
5. WHITE DOMES: Sandstone formations with brilliant con- trasting colors, picnic area, and a one mile scenic trail. White Domes is 5.5 miles (8.8 km) drive from the VisitorCenter.
6. FIRE WAVE TRAIL: ES LO MEJOR DEL PARQUE. En el mapa no está indicado porque los Rangers no quieren que se haga famoso y se rompa el ecosistema.
o The Fire Wave Trail is Valley of Fire’s newest and perhaps most popular trail. The 1.5-mile roundtrip hike leads to the formation known as the “Fire Wave”, which features smooth red and white striped sandstone, providing a wave-like appearance. Difficulty: Moderate
o WHERE: Meet in parking lot #3 on White Domes Rd. Está a la izquierda según bajas de los White Domes, y el trail empieza a la derecha. Fácil de encontrar.
7. A la vuelta hacemos el scenic loop de:
o ATLATL ROCK: Outstanding examples of ancient Indian rock art, or petroglyphs, including a depiction of the atlatl, a notched stick used to throw primitive spears. The atlatl was a predecessor to the bow and arrow. The adjacent Atlatl Rock Campground has 43 campsites. Some are semi-primitive and others are RV sites with water and power hookups. This camp- ground offers showers and modern restrooms.
o ARCH ROCK: Near Atlatl Rock Campground is the more primi- tive Arch Rock Campground with its more secluded campsites. A two-mile scenic loop road provides views of some of the Valley’s most interesting rock formations, such as Arch Rock and Piano Rock.
8. Si da tiempo, volver un pelín hacia detrás para ver los Beehives. (editado por consejo de flotas)
Pues si estáis acostumbrados a viajar en coche en Europa y en EEUU Japón os resultará más fácil salvo por el pequeño inconveniente de adaptarte a conducir por la izquierda. Cuando digo pequeño es porque realmente lo es.
Por lo demás, la conducción en Japón suela ser más llevadera que en muchos países occidentales, incluido el nuestro. Animaos y no os arrepentiréis.
Escoger entre Nikko y los 5 Lagos es difícil. Evidentemente, también son cosas diferentes, aunque en Nikko, además de unos templos muy chulos, hay también paisaje. Pero no veis el Fuji y el lago Chuzenji no es tan bonito como otros de los 5 Lagos, no hay cuevas de lava y hielo... Realmente es difícil escoger.
Joamra, pero conducir por la izquierda tiene que ser complicado no? Yo me subí de "copiloto"en Londres y era una sensación increíble, parecía que nos íbamos a chocar en cualquier momento, por lo menos esa fue mi sensación...así que conducir tiene que ser más complicado..digo yo. Volveré a hablarlo con ellos que son los que conducirían..yo ni de broma. Por otro lado, cómo os movíais por allí...es fácil con un gps? Cómo lo hiciste? Qué dirección pones? Lago tal? Y luego vas siguiendo indicaciones hacia las cuevas, bosque, cascadas? Me dijiste que los carteles estaban en inglés?
He visto unas excursiones en inglés, pero no sé si me convencen mucho..lo digo por los sitios a los que te llevan..dime que te parecen, por si siguen negándose a ir en coche:

Adrian ( the Boss del Hotel Bayview Gardens ) dice:
"I always advise the 2-day trip instead of the 1-day trip, because it adds so much. You visit Rinca and Komodo, with on both islands enough time for a long trek (2,5 hours) instead of the normal 45 minutes. You visit Komodo in the early morning of the 2nd day, which is the best time to spot the animals. You anchor near an island where in the afternoon thousands of flying foxes swarm out to fly to the main land searching for fruit. The boat anchors in a quiet bay, where it lies stable, without mosquitoes and you sleep under clear stars because there is no light pollution.
The boat also takes you to Red/Pink Beach, a world class spot for snorkeling. You may even be able to snorkel with manta's, a truly exciting experience. All of this is not included in the 1-day trip.
The 2 days cost Rp 2.750.000 for 5 persons, 5 meals included. But on that night you don’t pay for a hotel. If you want that, you can leave part your belongings here (which we store for free).
On those 2 days you get the best fresh meals you can imagine, and you have no restaurant expenses. In the end, the 2-day trip doesn’t cost you much more than the 1-day trip, but offers you a unique experience.
The entrance tickets and ranger fee are never included, The tickets cost Rp. 130.000 per person, for every camera you pay Rp. 50.000. The tickets are valid for 3 days. The ranger fee is Rp 80.000 for 1-5 people for a 45 minute-walk. For a 2 hour walk you pay Rp. 160.000.
Snorkel gear costs Rp 30.000 per person per day.
The boats are not ours, we are only an intermediary. The price can go up a little when the price of fuel rises, which has already been announced.
