Executive Summary

Page 14

Introduction According to the World Tourism Organization Africa posted the biggest growth rate at 8.1 percent in 2005 - and this rapid growth is predicted to double by the year 2020. Visitor arrivals to Zambia increased by 25% from 413,000 in 2003 to 515,000 in 2004 As a result, the phenomenal growth of foreign visitors to Zambia has fueled exceptional tourism development. Livingstone - located in the south of Zambia next to the Victoria Falls - is central to most ecotourism and hunting locations in sub-Saharan Africa. The select wildlife locations of: •

the Okavango Delta, Makgadikgadi pans, Kgaligadi, Kalahari and Chobe in Botswana

•

Etosha, Caprivi and the Skeleton coast in Namibia

•

Kariba, Kafue, Bangwelu swamps and Luanga in Zambia

•

Hwange, Mana pools, Chirisa, Chete, Sapi, Charara, Matetsi, Doma and Matsudona in Zimbabwe

•

Zululand, the Cape, Mpumalanga and Limpopo in South Africa

and

is within reasonable flight proximity and Mabwe Safari Lodge is ideal as safari and exploration base.

Background The prestigious Mabwe Safari Lodge is a wildlife-, golf estate and health spa development right on the edge of the magnificent 250m deep Zambezi gorge, less than 8km downstream from the spectacular Victoria Falls. This superlative project takes full advantage of growing global trends and combines big-5 ecotourism, safari travel, golf tourism and health- and wellness travel with fractional ownership, a rapidly expanding international trend.

The Potential for Tourism Global, African and Zambian Tourism Tourism and associated activities generate over 10 per cent of Global Domestic Product and employs 714.6 million people. It is valued at $463.6 billion per annum, computing to a worldwide daily tourism expenditure of $1.3 billion – and it will double by 2020. By regions, Africa posted the biggest growth rate at 8.1 percent, benefiting from travelers' fears of terrorism elsewhere in the world. The number of international tourist arrivals recorded worldwide grew by 5.5% and exceeded 800 million for the first time ever. Africa led the way in 2005, with growth estimated at 10%. Growth was stronger in Sub-Saharan Africa at over 13% International visitor arrivals to Zambia increased by 25% from 413 thousand in 2003 to 515 thousand in 2004. Tourism in Zambia is projected to increase by an average of 5.5% per annum (1.4% higher that the projected world average of 4.1%) in the year 2020 to a total of just under 1.2 million tourists per annum. This will generate almost $300 million per year and create over 32,000 jobs per year. Source WTO

Tourism in the Project Area th

5 Most Preferred destination in Africa th

According to the BBC, the Livingstone area is the 5 most preferred destination in Africa. Focus of Tourism Development The World Bank has accepted the Government's suggestion to focus on the Livingstone/Victoria Falls area for tourism development € 13.5m Livingstone Airport Upgrade Tourism growth is continuing to escalate as the Livingstone International airport has been upgraded by the EU to allow direct flights from Europe.

Page 16 Infrastructure Upgrade The World Bank has funded a major upgrade of the town of Livingstone’s infrastructure. Upgrades are currently underway These developments in the Livingstone area underline the viability and potential of the Mabwe Safari Lodge

Global Golf Tourism The global golf tourism market is worth over US$17.5 billion. In the US, golf is estimated to contribute more than US$60 billion to the economy - some 6% of GDP (gross domestic product). www.marketresearch.com

It is projected that the number of golfers will grow 37% to 82,4 million and the number of golf courses will grow 22% to 36,750 courses worldwide Dr. Klaus Ennemoser

The International Fractional Ownership Market Fractional ownership is currently the fastest growing second-home ownership concept in the world. Fractional ownership – as opposed to timeshare – gives each owner a deed to the property and the owner has the right the sell, rent or exchange his or her portion. Because it is real property, it can be included as an asset in estate planning and transferred to beneficiaries •

The second-home market is expected to double by 2009

•

It is estimated that within the next three years fractionals will exceed US$1bn in sales worldwide.

Wellness and Health Tourism Retail sales within the consumer packaged goods health and wellness industry reached $68 billion in America in 2004, which constitutes a total growth of 8.5 percent over 2003. Natural Marketing Institute of America

Extensive global research and market trend analysis strongly points to a boom in spa health and wellness vacations. The global revenue generated by the health tourism industry is in the order of 7.7 billion per year Degrees, School of Hospitality, Tourism and Marketing, Victorian University, December 2001 sourced from www.businessandlaw.vu.edu.au

Page 17 In America, the number of spa locations has doubled in number every four years. The number of locations has increased by an average of 20 percent annually over the last eight years. The resort/hotel spa segment has been expanding faster than any other and showed a cumulative two-year increase of 143 percent in number of locations. The ISPA 2002 Spa Industry Study

Reconstruction of infrastructure through the provision of roads and essential bulk services.

Mabwe Investment’s developments are based on our tri-lateral company development principle being: 1. Social Acceptability 2. Environmental Sustainability 3. Financial Viability Each one of these principles are totally interdependent and one cannot exist without the other. They form a cohesive and synergistic relationship. We are proud and honored to currently be playing our part in positively molding the future of the Southern African region for the benefit of our children and our children’s children.

Community Development The directors of Mabwe Investments enjoy a unique relationship with the local community and chiefs, a trust developed over more than a decade. The Livingstone area falls under the jurisdiction of Chief Mukuni. As an indication of the respect the company enjoys, the major shareholder in Mabwe Investments, Mr. Leon Joubert, has been appointed as an honorary prince of the Mukuni Tribe and given the name Prince Nsungu Namutitima, translated as prince of the waterfall.

Page 26 The business practice of Mabwe Investment is to outsource every possible service or function within a project aims to create an environment that encourages the development of the second tier.

Graphic representation of Second Tier Development supporting Core Project

Project Beneficiaries The main beneficiaries of this development will be: 1. The Mukuni Tribe of Livingstone, Zambia. The establishment of: a. The Leaders of Tomorrow School for the Gifted will offer a unique opportunity for gifted students to receive superior education b. Appointments made will give preference to tribe members and at a 14-1 breadwinner ratio will positively affect 5810 men, women and children of the tribe. 2. the Zambian economy as a whole through the reconstruction of the Tourism and related Business Sectors, which form the essential focus of Mabwe Safari Lodge's economic activities. The well-known multiplier effect of the Tourism Industry coupled with the large number of direct jobs created through the establishment of the many businesses required to support this project, will make the local community of the Mukuni tribe the single greatest beneficiary of Mabwe Safari Lodge Wildlife Sanctuary, Golf Estate and Health Spa.

Page 27

Other Benefits Harvesting of natural resources A program of natural resources utilisation will form an integral part of the game reserve Conservation Management Plan. Local people will be allowed to harvest the natural resources from the Reserve such as thatch grass, wood, medicinal plants and herbs, and meat from the Wildlife Management Program in terms of the Conservation Management Plan. Although the benefits from this harvesting program will be small in comparison to the other benefits, it will however create goodwill between the neighboring communities and the development.

Small and Medium Enterprise Development The opportunities that exist for the Small Medium and Micro Enterprise Development surrounding this project are enormous. As stated earlier, the philosophy of the Stakeholders and Developers is to wherever possible promote the SMME potential of the Project. The creation of an integrated Community Development Plan and an Economic Empowerment Corporation for the project's Second Tier developments is testimony to the commitment of the Project Developers to the reconstruction and development of the Zambian economy.

Market Analysis

Why Tourism Works Tourism represents a significant opportunity for Zambia Employing 212 million people worldwide, generating $3.4 trillion in world gross output and contributing $655 billion of Government tax revenues, travel and tourism is the world's largest industry. In Britain, Germany, Japan, and the USA, more adults have traveled than visited a library, attended a sporting event or have gone to see a play or concert. The tourism industry is expected to grow by 50% by 2005 by which time the industry will be worth US$7 trillion to the world economy.

Tourism is the world's largest generator of jobs The World Travel and Tourism Council estimate that travel and tourism is now the world's largest generator of jobs. In 1995, the industry provided direct and indirect employment for 212 million people; accounted for 10.7% of the global work force and provided one in every nine jobs. Between 1995 and the year 2000 travel and tourism will add one new job every 2.5 seconds and create 125 million new direct and indirect jobs.

Tourism can provide immediate employment Properly organised and focused, the tourism sector can create many jobs within a short period. For example, If one quarter of the 8 500 tourist accommodation establishments (not to mention restaurants and fast food outlets) in South Africa began to offer live entertainment to guests, at an average of three entertainers per group, thousands of entertainers can be employed within days. If large resorts opened their doors one day per week to encourage craft providers to market their products to the visitors (on condition that everything sold is actually made by the entrepreneur, with a working demonstration of the skills) many employment and business opportunities will be created for surrounding local communities. The provision of weekly market days at the resort (at no rental charges) is already done by the Sandals Resorts group in the Caribbean. Visitors view the market as a prime attraction that they look forward to.

Tourism is labour intensive The tourism industry has the lowest ratio of investment to job creation. This means that more jobs can be created per unit of capital invested and many tourism activities are within the reach of the small operator.

Tourism employs a multiplicity of skills From accountants and hairdressers to tour guides and trackers, the tourism industry draws upon a multiplicity of skills. Moreover, the potential for on-the-job training is enormous.

Page 31

The tourism industry creates entrepreneurial opportunities The tourism industry accommodates a thriving and dynamic informal sector from craft and fruit vendors to beach vendors, chair rentals, and others. Apart from the opportunities provided in the informal sector, there are many business opportunities to involve previously neglected groups in the tourism business: entertainment, laundry and transportation services, craft rental; arts, craft and curios sales; tour guides and walking tours of places of interest; teaching of African languages and customs to interested visitors; restaurants emphasizing local cuisine; guest houses; beach manicures and pedicures; and much more.

Tourism brings development to rural areas Many of the prime tourism attractions are not located in the city centers but in the rural areas. Tourism allows rural peoples to share in the benefits of tourism development, promoting more balanced and sustainable forms of development. Tourism provides an alternative to urbanisation, permitting people to continue a rural family existence, enfranchising both women and the youth.

Well-managed tourism is kind to the environment Unlike the mining and other smoke stack industries, well-managed tourism can help to save the environment. Many forms of tourism development rely on maintaining and even repairing the landscape and its natural features (lakes, rivers, estuaries and wildlife areas). Wildlife tourism - especially in arid regions of the country - is dependent on the restoration of natural vegetation and soil cover. Many state and private sector projects have spent large amounts on rehabilitating land damaged by commercial farming and other forms of land-use. Tourism which is responsibly practiced furthermore allows for the protection of biodiversity on land used for its purpose.

Tourism builds cross-cultural relations and is a vital force for peace Through its inherent message of goodwill, hospitality, trust, service without servility, tolerance, interaction and communication, tourism is a most effective mechanism for fostering national and international cultural exchange and understanding among people. It is therefore an effective nation-builder and a strong incentive and reason for peace.

Tourism is a final good Tourism is not a primary export item (like coal, copper and iron ore) that adds little value. Tourism is a final good. This means that all the final touches (value) have to be added in - be it a taxi ride from the airport, a basket of fruit or flowers in the hotel room, wildlife viewing, binocular rental, helicopter tour, dive instruction or a meal in a restaurant. This means that the value added in final stages of production is created in Zambia.

Tourism is a foreign exchange generator par excellence International tourism is the only export item which is exported without leaving the country. This means that every taxi taken, every banana, lychee, mango, orange eaten, every chair sat on or bed slept in, brings in valuable foreign exchange. A recent OAS study estimated that the tourism industry accounted for over 45% of Jamaica's gross foreign exchange inflows for 1992.

Tourism brings a ready market South Africa welcomes every year well over 4 million regional and overseas visitors. These visitors bring a ready market right to the doorstep of the country.

Potential to influence visitor tastes and create export markets Through tourism, Zambia can become the supermarket or boutique to which visitors are drawn. Apart from the normal consumption of sun, sand and sea, wildlife, wine and water sports, tourism allows its clients to inspect other goods and services for sale in Zambia. Tourists have the opportunity to sample the local fare (e.g. wine, beer, food, craft, entertainment, etc.). Moreover, they have the leisure, time, usually the money as well as the convenience (plastic cards) to pay for local goods and services. The potential for Zambia Africa to influence visitor tastes and create permanent export markets is very real.

Tourism demand is continuous The consumption of travel takes place over one's lifetime. A holiday taken today does not reduce the demand for the holiday next year, next month or next weekend. This means that the potential market for tourism will continue to grow.

Tourism has a multiplier effect The impact of tourism is greater than the initial expenditure by visitors. In the Caribbean, for example, it is estimated that the sum of direct and indirect local value added generated per dollar of tourist expenditure was around 1.6 times the value of the initial input of visitor spending.

Enormous potential for linkages The tourism industry provides enormous potential to create linkages and create dynamics in other sectors of the economy - agriculture, manufacturing and services. Tourism will generate demand and production in other sectors of the Zambian economy.

Market Size and Growth Potential Tourism and associated activities generates over 10 per cent of Global Domestic Product and employs 714.6 million people. It is valued at $470 billion per annum, computing to a worldwide daily tourism expenditure of $1.3 billion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it will double by 2020. In addition, ecotourism is the fastest growing segment of the global tourism industry. Source: World Travel and Tourism Council

The World UNWTO's Tourism 2020 Vision forecasts that international arrivals are expected to reach over 1.56 billion by the year 2020. Of these worldwide arrivals in 2020, 1.2 billion will be intraregional and 0.4 billion will be long-haul travelers.

Page 33 The total tourist arrivals by region shows that by 2020 the top three receiving regions will be Europe (717 million tourists), East Asia and the Pacific (397 million) and the Americas (282 million), followed by Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. East Asia and the Pacific, South Asia, the Middle East and Africa are forecasted to record growth at rates of over 5 percent per year, compared to the world average of 4.1 per cent. The more mature regions Europe and Americas are anticipated to show lower than average growth rates. Europe will maintain the highest share of world arrivals, although there will be a decline from 60 per cent in 1995 to 46 per cent in 2020. The US international travel and tourism industry reached $115.3 billion, the highest over a five year period. 1994-2006 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD

WTO Forecast to 2020 Tourism 2020 Vision is the World Tourism Organization's long-term forecast and assessment of the development of tourism up to the first 20 years of the new millennium. An essential outcome of the Tourism 2020 Vision are quantitative forecasts covering a 25 years period, with 1995 as the base year and forecasts for 2000, 2010 and 2020

Africa As a result of the sustained growth in the number of arrivals in recent years, and diminishing market shares for the Americas and Europe, Africa's share of the world market increased by almost one percentage point, rising from 3.5 per cent in 1990 to 4.4 per cent in 2004.

Page 34 Even so, Africa remains far behind the world's leading tourism regions and despite its reasonable performance in 2004, the region has now been overtaken by a close competitor, the Middle East, which reported impressive growth of 21 per cent. Africa should be able to triple the size of its tourism industry by 2020 if proper efforts are made to ensure the safety and security of visitors. The number of tourist arrivals in the continent is forecast to reach 77. 3 million in 2020, up from 27.8 million last year in 2005 Improvements to infrastructure and tourism facilities, a better and broader choice of product, and image correction through marketing campaigns should all be priorities over the next two decades.

Tourism 2020 Vision Africa predicts two major shifts in tourism patterns in the region: â&#x20AC;˘

more tourists heading to southern Africa

â&#x20AC;˘

a significant increase in intra-regional travel, which will account for more than half the total arrivals by 2020.

Southern Africa is forecast to see an average 10.4 per cent annual rise in tourist arrivals to 36 million by 2020, up from 7.9 million in 2000, overtaking the North Africa region which will manage only a 3.5 per cent increase to 19 million from 9.4 million last year. East Africa will be the other main growth region, up 6 per cent annually to 17 million compared with 5.9 million in 2000. Meanwhile, intra-regional travel will rise by an annual average 6.5 per cent from 42 per cent of the market in 1995 to 53 per cent or 41.3 million tourists in 2020. European tourism to Africa will grow by a slower rate of 4.4 per cent a year, but will be the most important source of long-haul visitors, increasing to 19.6 million in 2020 from 6.6 million in 1995. Surprisingly, the main growth in European outbound to Africa is expected from Tour i sm t o 2 0 2 0 new generating markets in central and Eastern Europe. 1, 600, 000, 000 1, 400, 000, 000

South Africa will be the prime beneficiary of tourism growth in Africa, with its four main long-haul markets-the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States and France-expected to grow by more than 10 per cent a year, boosting arrivals from 6 million in 2000 to 30.5 million by 2020. Tunisia and Morocco will see much slower growth: Tunisia by 3 per cent a year from 5 million in 2000 to 9 million by 2020 and Morocco with 5 per cent annual growth from 4 million in 2000 to 8.7 million by 2020.

Page 35 In outbound tourism, southern Africa will also dominate, growing by more than 8 per cent a year to represent 30 million of the estimated 62 million African outbound travelers in 2020. South Africa will be the biggest source of outbound tourists, with trips to Zambia growing by 20 per cent annually, and the long-haul destinations of Germany and Australia both enjoying growth rates of more than 10 percent in South African arrivals.

International visitor arrivals to Zambia increased by 25 per cent from 413 thousand in 2003 to 515 thousand in 2004. Among the main factors that have resulted in this increase is the aggressive and consistent marketing embarked upon by the Zambia National Tourist Board in partnership with the tourism private sector The majority of international visitors to Zambia are from the United Kingdom (34%) and the United States(18,6%), followed by Europe (25,8%), Australia (6,8%) and Canada (5.6%).

Tourism in Zambia is project to increase by an average of 4.1% per annum â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1.4% higher that the projected world average - to the year 2020 Zimbabwe's loss is Zambia's gain Long Zimbabwe's poor neighbor, Zambia is coming into its own. From the late 1980's, tourism in Zimbabwe grew between 20% and 40%. In 1999, at the height of the tourism boom, 1,4 million tourists helped contribute up to 6% of national GDP. In 2000, as the land unrest began, visitor figures declined to less than a quarter of the levels of the previous year. Consequently Zimbabwe lost the construction of a multi-million dollar resort complex to neighboring Zambia. The latest Sun International resort was built on the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls at Livingstone.

Page 36 Other infrastructure improvements have followed. The Livingstone National Airport has been upgraded and Livingstone itself is a bustling tourist town with new tour operators and new luxury lodges. A US$12 million donation from the World Bank is being used to upgrade roads in the Livingstone area. The Great North Road to the capital, Lusaka, is now a two-lane tar highway. Lusaka's internal road network is being Zambian Vistors by Nationality 2004 redone thanks in part to a Japanese aid project.

Market Sector Overview The Fractional Ownership Market Fractional Vacation ownership is one of the most evolving and profitable sectors in the hospitality and leisure industry. A sector that was once dominated by private developers selling one-week fee intervals now includes publicly-traded hospitality companies actively developing a full range of offerings, at different price points, in resort and urban destinations. PriceWaterHouseCoopers

Fractional Ownership is usually defined as 4 to 12 weeks fixed ownership in a luxury home. While fractional ownership resorts originated in the 1980s, the category has experienced a surge of growth in recent years as high-end hotel chains, such as Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons and Starwood, and other smaller developers have rushed to meet the upswing in demand. According to research by Ragatz Associates, a leading researcher for clients in the global leisure travel industry, total sales volumes increased from nearly $90 million to $470 million between 1999 and 2000, experiencing an industry growth rate of 115% in 2000 and 24% in 2001. The rest of the industry grew only 15% in 2000 and 8% in 2001. "The fractional market shows strong growth during the past several years, particularly in the high-end segments. For consumers, fractional interests provide the opportunity to own the vacation home they always dreamed about, often with a higher level of services and amenities, in a package that is easier to afford and maintain than a whole ownership vacation home of comparable quality," Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 37 Studies have found fractional ownerships have produced high customer satisfaction thus far; 92.7% of owners report satisfaction, with 71.2 % of these owners proclaiming to be "very satisfied." The trend shows no sign of slowing down: among households with an income bracket of $150,000 or more that are not already fractional owners, half are aware of fractional ownerships and more than three quarters like the idea. Ragatz Associates.

Golf Tourism The global golf tourism market is worth over US$17.5 billion. In the US, golf is estimated to contribute more than US$60 billion to the economy - some 6% of GDP (gross domestic product). Golf attracts affluent, high-value-adding tourists who generate significantly above-average per capita revenues for the destinations they frequent. It is difficult to isolate the full extent and impact of golf tourism, since trips which include golfing or attending tournaments may very well encompass other activities, such as conventions, corporate meetings, incentives, or other leisure activities, such as cruising or skiing. The growth of golf tourism depends to a large extent on increases in the number of players, and on the availability of golfing facilities. The principal market for dedicated golf tours has been ‘regular’ golfers, who play at least eight to 12 times a year. www.marketresearch.com

Within Europe, the UK and Ireland claim 51% of all European golf courses and 43% of all registered European golfers, yet only 15% of the European population. The number of non-registered "independent" golfers is also extremely high in the UK, where there are an estimated 1,25 to 1,75 million players. On the continent, the "Big Four" in the golf market are Sweden, Germany, France and Spain. These four countries have 68% of all golfers and 61% of all golf courses. The following table, Golf Statistics Europe 2000, shows this in detail. Golf Statistics Europe 2000 P Country 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

The three most characteristic methods for describing a golf market are: (a) Availability (population per 18 hole course) (2) Per capita (golfer in % of population) (3) Capacity (or Usage) (golfers per 18 holes) Availability â&#x20AC;&#x153;Availability" indicates the number of inhabitants per 18 hole course. The lower the number, the better the availability. However, this statistic does not express whether or not there is sufficient capacity for admittance to a golf club (e.g. limitations like waiting lists or membership unavailability). Because of the lack of data available the figures for "population per golf course or golf club" are often used. The following graph shows the development stages of the European countries, derived from the information above.

Until 1995 the UK and Ireland had more golfers than the rest of Europe combined. Since 1996 this relation changes in favour of the "continent". By the end of 2000 "only" about 44% of the registered European golfers were on the British Isles and in Ireland.

Newly registered golfers per year (Europe) (1985 to 2000): 124.500 This graph shows this development

A comparison of the development of golf courses and the increase of golfers shows clearly that the growth of European golf is shifting to the continent. o

Newly registered golfers per year (GB und IRL) (1985 to 2000): 29.500

New golf courses per year (GB und IRL) (1985 to 2000): 57

Newly registered golfers per year (Continent) (1985 to 2000): 95.000

Newly golf courses per year (Continent) (1985 to 2000): 129

Summarising the developments of European golf it can be said that:

the countries UK, Germany, Sweden, France and Ireland are the leaders. These 5 countries have 76% of the golf courses and 77% of the golfers

there is a total of about 5.800 golf courses and 3,3 million registered golfers in Europe. In addition there are about 2 million independent golfers, mostly from the UK

the development of new golf courses and the growing number of new golfers are increasingly shifting to the continent. The British market is highly saturated.

Forecast 2010 Predicting for larger areas is easier because more data is available. Therefore it can be assumed that the outlook on the world market is quite realistic. Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

This also means that the major increases within the next decade will take place in Europe, compared with other regions.

Summary o

General Trends The ratio between work and leisure time changes continuously - more leisure time used for personal interests. People get older, education gets better and there is the tendency towards small families and single households.

Golf Trends Competition will make golf more affordable (tendency to mass sport). There will be a greater variety of golf courses with an increasing number of both short and inexpensive courses, and expensive private clubs (at the other end of the scale).

Golf worldwide 2010 Worldwide about 36.750 Golf Courses and 82,4 million Golfers can be estimated for 2010.

It is projected that the number of golfers will grow 37% to 82,4 million and the number of golf courses will grow 22% to 36,750 courses worldwide.

Health and Wellness Tourism Retail sales within the consumer packaged goods health and wellness industry reached $68 billion in America in 2004, which constitutes a total growth of 8.5 percent over 2003. Natural Marketing Institute of America

The following are American growth figures which give an indication of the potential growth of the industry. •

Locations. The number of spa locations has doubled in number every four years. The number of locations has increased by an average of 20 percent annually over the last eight years. The resort/hotel spa segment has been expanding faster than any other and showed a cumulative two-year increase of 143 percent in number of locations. Mineral springs spas are also growing faster than the industry average.

•

Revenues. Industry revenues have grown by 114 percent between 2000 and 2002. However, the annual growth in revenues for individual spas has moderated from 28 percent in 1999 to only 14 percent in 2000 and 8 percent in 2001.

•

Employment. The spa industry saw an 87 percent increase in the total number of employees in the past two years.

•

Spa visits. Demand continues to be the driving force behind the tremendous growth of the industry. Despite poor economic conditions, the number of spa visits continues to grow rapidly, increasing by 71 percent between 1999 and 2001. The ISPA 2002 Spa Industry Study, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, 2002

Health and wellness tourism is an international trend set by the health conscious consumers seeking to enhance their well being through their travel experiences. This type of consumer seeks to look and feel better, to lose weight, to slow the effects of aging, to relieve pain or discomfort, to manage stress, or to partake in the use of natural supplements like vitamins and minerals to improve their health. A distinction is made between the health and the wellness aspects. Health tourism refers to those clients with medical conditions who would travel to experience healing therapies. A person who seeks a wellness travel experience, Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved © Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 44 is generally healthy to start with, and seeks therapies to maintain his or her wellbeing.

Profile The spa industry segment is regarded as the leading player in health and wellness tourism. In searching for health and wellness travel experiences, travelers can find structured and professionally-delivered programs at several types of spa venues. These include: •

Mineral Springs Spa: A spa offering on-site natural mineral, thermal, or sea water, which is used in professionally administered hydrotherapy treatments. This spa typifies the European spa product offering focusing on health and wellness.

•

Resort/Hotel Spa: This category represents the second largest group of spa facilities in North America. The majority have been or are being developed where the spa is a profitable amenity added to traditional resort vacation opportunities

World Trends It is important to note these ongoing trends gleaned by Spa Finder, the largest travel wholesaler of spa vacations in the world, with the largest audience of spa consumers. •

Spas are becoming more and more relevant to today's traveler, as more and more people turn to spas to improve their looks and well-being.

•

Medical spas will provide the prescription for health and wellness. Cosmetic treatments were the rage in 2003, but in 2004, baby boomers will use medical spas for truly medical purposes – namely preventative health treatments and regimens, nutrition and fitness, and health and wellness education.

•

Spa experience will become more mainstream in the corporate world. Mixing business with ‘spa’ pleasure, businesses will engage the use of spas to build relationships, motivate employees, and manage employee health. Innovative businesses, including insurance providers, will underwrite regular spa visit to promote employee health and productivity and to lower medical costs. (Interestingly, the American Academy of Family Physicians estimates that 60% of all problems brought to physicians are stress-related. US corporations lose approximately $150 billion each year to stress-related disorders.)

•

The 'Destination Day Spa' will become a new spa facility category. Moving beyond the typical day experience, destination day spas offer a

Page 45 holistic mind/body/spirit experience similar to experiences normally associated with destination spas, minus accommodations. One-day mini retreats will include education programs, fitness programs, and healthy meals, in addition to spa/beauty treatments. •

The spa experience will become more affordable and inclusive, thanks to the continued explosion of affordable spas geared to middle income earners seeking professional treatments and wellness programs.

•

International spa tours will replace international spa treatments. Rather than seeking specific treatments from specific facilities, the international traveler will seek to sample a variety of spa experiences within the same destination.

•

Spa cuisine will break out of the spa and into our dining rooms, thanks to popular spa cuisine cookbooks and recipes. High-end spas will enlist celebrity chefs, expand menus, employ innovative branded diet programs, and accommodate special diets.

•

Spas will become the primary consideration for many travelers. In recent years the fastest growing segment of the hospitality industry was hotels with spas. Indications are that spas with hotels will become an even bigger factor in consumer traveling decisions. Rather than being an ‘amenity’ offered at hotels or resorts, spas will be the deciding factor or the primary draw.

•

Spas will continue to attract men and offer male-focused activities like golf, outdoor adventure, male cosmetic programs, and highoctane fitness programs. Men will use spas in record numbers and more spa facilities across the spectrum will offer equal facilities for men and women.

•

A strong family orientation will prevail. Teenage girls used spas in record numbers in 2003 for beauty treatments and the glamour of a luxurious spa experience. It is predicted that spas will cater to even younger visitors, including boys. These young spa-goers will come with their families seeking health and wellness programs. Spas will cater to them by offering more family-oriented activities, spas-for-kids, and or kids-only spa programs.

The Project

Page 48

This development has been initiated by promoters from various professional walks of life, all with a common goal to undertake the much needed reconstruction and development of Southern Africa and in doing so creating a vehicle for the responsible development and protection of the environment and enhancement of conservation actions and activities in the region in which the development is undertaken.

Premise 1. In view of the rapid growth of international tourism to Zambia and in particular the Southern region, it is the ideal time to take advantage of tourism and other international growth areas. 2. Therefore, the essential goal of the project is to develop the project and create jobs to create a sustainable livelihood for as many of the Mukuni Community as possible, and in this way combat poverty in the area. These jobs are to be provided by the Core Development - Mabwe Safari Lodge and the resulting Second Tier Community Entrepreneurial Development Programs created to support the main core project 3. In addition, the establishment of the Mukuni Leaders of Tomorrow School for the Gifted will provide superior education for above-average students. This will result in the politicians, businessmen and leaders of the next generation being highly skilled in their respective fields. 4. To create a large enough demand for locally trained people and thereby creating immediate need for vocational training, skills enhancement / transfer as well as career pathing for the Mukuni Community 5. To create a socially acceptable, environmentally sustainable and financially viable development for the long-term benefit of the Mukuni Community 6. To target and exploit the buoyant and ever increasing high value low impact global tourism markets 7. To target and exploit the fastest growing investment and tourism markets

Project Description The basis of the project will be a 1000 ha (370 hectare owned and usage rights the remaining 630) wildlife sanctuary where endemic game will be resettled in significant numbers. Fencing is currently in progress. Core Elements of the development will consist of: 1. A Commercial element which will include a fractional ownership and an ecotourism component 2. A Community Development element which will be the establishment of the Mukuni Leaders of Tomorrow School for the Gifted as well as other elements All the facilities are to be designed and constructed in a styling that is reminiscent of the historic African safari with a timeless elegance and opulence.

Page 53

Elements Wildlife Sanctuary The wildlife sanctuary will be fenced and restocked with significant numbers of endemic game. The assistance of ZAWA (Zambian Wildlife Authority) will be requested at every level. Trained African elephants will be used to offer elephantback safaris through the reserve and allow game viewing at close quarters. A conservation component will control wildlife resettlement and manage game populations, security and health. With Guided bush walks, horse trails, rhino tracking, game drives in open vehicles, sharing close quarters with legendary African wildlife will be a regular privilege at Mabwe Safari Lodge. Guests will enjoy the matchless hospitality and comfort of this truly world-class game reserve which offers superb cuisine options.

Page 54

Health Spa Overlooking the awesome Zambezi gorge, a lavish Health Spa will provide specialist cuisine and advanced health- and –slimming treatments to wellnessconscious visitors. The sumptuous interiors will be carefully designed to remove all cares and to encourage guests to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of relaxation. Unobtrusive and calm, the staff will be elegantly trained to make the guests’ stay as memorable as possible – and there will be endless opportunity for comfortable solitude for anyone seeking time out. For men and women, facial and body treatment options will provide everything for the senses that could be desired to restore balance to stressed bodies and minds. A highly effective Swedish massage or the softer option of a full body paraffin wax treatment with oils. Perhaps a session in the Mud Room to eliminate toxins and leave the body feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Amenities will include the atrium pool, exercise swimming pool, heat treatments, koi carp lounge, the lounge and Spa Shop, spa restaurant, mud treatment and colour relaxation studio.

Fractional Ownership To create the number of visitors to establish an economically viable development, Manors, Villas and Lodges will be constructed and sold on a fractional ownership basis. Fractional ownership buyers will receive a recorded deed and title based on a 99 year leasehold automatically renewable for a further 99 years. Fractional ownership has the benefits of second home ownership, but for a fraction of the cost and without the maintenance responsibilities. Considering the average vacation home buyer uses the property just three to four weeks a year, fractional ownership tends to be commensurate with actual use of a vacation home. According to 2006 Fractional Interests Leisure Real Estate Market Report, fractional pricing ranges from $60,750 to $649,564 per interest based on floor plan, location and size of fraction. In addition to the purchase price, there are annual maintenance fees, which in 2005

Page 55 averaged $5,575. An owner unable to use the time (or a portion of that time) in a particular year can generate rental income on the residence through the rental pool. If an owner chooses to utilize 50% of his time every second year for the first 5 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the rental income from his surrendered time will repay the full investment amount of the share.

Gorgeview Villas 25 Gorgeview Villas, right on the spectacular Batoga gorge with stunning views of the Zambezi river 200m below will provide owners with an unrivalled sense of space and luxury. Each villa will have a private pool, superb furnishings and fittings, game drive vehicle, trained game ranger and other staff. The number of villas is limited to ensure privacy and lack of visual intrusion.

Golf Manors 40 Luxury 8-bed golf manors, tastefully arranged around a lush world-class golf course to optimize privacy and scenic beauty, will allow golfing enthusiasts to live the game while spouses and family enjoy the various activities. Each luxury manor will be 5-star quality and have its own golf carts, trained caddy and other staff.

Private Game Lodges 30 Magnificent 8-bed private game lodges will be situated in the heart of the wildlife habitat to maximize game viewing and privacy. Each lodge will have a private pool, superb furnishings and fittings, game drive vehicle, trained game ranger and other staff. Waterholes will be strategically placed for the ultimate game viewing experience. Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 60

Weaknesses •

Lack of trained staff – Mabwe Safari Lodge will require superbly trained staff to provide excellent service. This will be mitigated by a huge training and motivational effort

•

Dependence on Suppliers – Mabwe Safari Lodge will depend on a number of suppliers that supply the company with produce. This will be mitigated by our own advanced and reliable supply and delivery mechanisms.

Opportunities o

Aging Population – With the increasing numbers of baby boomers retiring and playing more golf, Mabwe Safari Lodge has the opportunity to ensure sales.

Buoyant Markets - All the markets where Mabwe Safari Lodge is involved in are extremely buoyant: o

The Tourism Market

The Ecotourism Market

The Golf Tourism Market

The Safari Hunting Market

The Health and Wellness Tourism Market

The Fractional Ownership Market

The Adventure Tourism Market

Threats •

Energy – The threat of energy outages is mitigated by large and reliable power backup plants.

•

Terrorism – The threat of terrorism takes people’s focus off leisure activities, can affect the economy, disrupts the company’s ability to ship products and to receive supplies that all lead to decreased sales and lower profits.

•

Pandemic Diseases – Diseases such as the “SARS” virus in Asia could have a negative affect on leisure activities as well as impacting our workforce and manufacturing capabilities in affected areas.

•

Foreign Currency Risk – A large proportion of Mabwe Safari Lodge’s revenue will come from the international market. All of our earnings are reported in U.S. dollars and are dependent on a favorable exchange rate to maximize earnings.

•

The success of Mabwe Safari Lodge may encourage rival developers to develop in the area. This risk is mitigated by the fact that most of our guests are owners and will visit Mabwe Safari Lodge regardless.

•

AIDS – Trained workers infected by AIDS will be become less productive with time. We will mitigate this threat with a continuous training initiative to provide suitable replacements

Other curio markets are to be found at the visitor entrance to the Falls and in the Mukuni Park in Livingstone town. The Livingstone Arts and Culture Festival which is held in April is the only presentation of Zambian arts and culture held in the country.

Game Viewing Most of the riverside lodges offer game viewing drives in open vehicles. These are operated at dawn and dusk by experienced armed rangers. Night drives are also arranged enabling visitors to glimpse at the nocturnal world. Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved © Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 63 Many hotels arrange for game viewing in Chobe in Botswana.

Canoe Safaris Canoe safaris offer an alternative to land-based safaris; no boating skills or experience are necessary. Two-seater, fibre-glass canoes are used, providing both an excellent vantage point and a silent way of viewing the animals. Canoeing operators are Makora Quest, Tongabezi Expedition, Tsonga Safaris and Safari Par Excellence.

White Water Rafting The Zambezi below the Victoria Falls offer some of the most exciting and challenging rafting waters in the world. Regular safaris operate between August/September and November, starting at the Boiling Pot below the Falls and winding through spectacular gorges and through 10 major rapids. Sobek, Raft Quest, Safari Par Excellence, Valley Venture and Bundu offer half-day, full-day or extended trips through the gorge.

Bungi jumping and Gorge Swing The 111 meter high Victoria Falls Bridge offers the highest commercial bungi jumps in the world. Abseil Zambia operates the gorge swing, opposite the entrance to the Royal Livingstone

Page 64

Bird Watching Bird watching is excellent as a total of 428 bird species occur in the area. The riverbanks and islands are particularly rewarding for "twitchers".

Golf Established in 1908, the Livingstone Golf Club has 18 holes and is situated about 1 kilometer east of the town.

Job Creation Project development stage (temporary) It is estimated that over 500 jobs will be created on a temporary basis during the construction phase of the project. During this phase the contractors will be required to employ local artisans and labour and to undertake construction skills enhancement.

Operational stage (sustainable) 415 Sustainable jobs will be created directly through this development. This includes positions held directly by Mabwe Safari Lodge and the balance by concessionaires who will hold the various leases. At a breadwinner to dependant ratio of 1:14, it is estimated that some people will benefit directly or indirectly from this project well into the future.

Background The financial statements for Mabwe Safari Lodge have been prepared on the following basis of funding for the project:

•

This funding arrangement has been considered in order to maximize the fiscal and investment concessions granted the project by the Zambian Government.

•

Interest rates and repayment terms may well be adjusted at the time of actual project implementation to maximize on these benefits and to take advantage of the World’s financial market climate at that time.

Mabwe Safari Lodge consists of two components:

The Mukuni Leaders of Tomorrow school for the gifted

Tourism Component

Assumptions Funding 1. A fixed interest rate of 10% (which is above Chase Manhattan Prime Rate) is used for the period. 2. A loan disbursed in one lump sum to Mabwe Safari Lodge. The loan period used is five (5) years from the date of disbursement 3. A contingency of 3.5% has been included to provide for unforeseen delays and/or expenses.

Tax 1. The standard 35% tax rate has been used throughout (Source: Zambia Investment Centre) 2. Zero-rated tax activities include boat cruising, micro-lighting, helicopter tours and walking safaris (Source: Zambia Investment Centre) 3. No duties will be payable on importation of aircraft

Costs 1. Costs are projected to increase at the forecast GDP percentage per annum over the duration of the project (Source: GDP Growth Source: Economist Intelligence Unit http://www.reiresearch.com)

2. Year 6 Quarter 1 used as base level operating costs

Sales 1. Share sales commence in Year 4 Quarter 1 and will be done from plan and 3D presentations. Share sales are expected to be competed before the end of year 4.

Page 67 2. Advertising commences in December at the end of year 3, 18 months before the official grand opening

Services 1. Bulk service provision from Year 2 Quarter 1 2. Executive personnel from day 1 3. Admin personnel from year 4 Quarter 4 4. Site liaison and supervision from Year 1 Quarter 1

Collateral There are only two types of tenure in Zambia. These are leasehold and customary tenure. Zambia has no freehold system of tenure The leasehold tenure runs for 99 years and is renewable for a further 99 years. Land in the customary area can be converted to leasehold – thus allowing it to be used as collateral. Under the 1995 Act, land now has a value and can be sold even without improvement on the land. The collateral to the Lender will be provided by way of a Financial Guarantee Bond issued by an Internationally Rated Insurer. In turn the Insurance Company through the registration of a Mortgage Bond over the improvements to the Land, and the registration of a ‘Covering Bond’ on Moveable & Current Assets will be able to adequately mitigate risk. The rights and property value is estimated at US $12.7m These lease rights to land can in addition be ceded to the Guarantor as part of the collateral provided.

This calculation is based on the project servicing the interest on an annual basis over a five (5) year term. The project has the capacity to generate sufficient income to meet these commitments. The redemption of the loan will take place at the end of year five (5) from increases in working capital generated from fractional ownership sales revenue generated by the project.

Page 68

Exit Strategy The loan and interest will be repaid by year 5 through income from fractional share sales.

Mabwe Safari Lodge Summary Establishment costs for the project are comprised of $161.7m loan which includes a $5.5mcontingency provision The total project value is US$ 284m over 10 years

Advertising: Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) Background Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) (http://www.bartleboglehegarty.com) is a British advertising agency, responsible for some of the more notable advertising campaigns of the last twenty years. From its UK start, BBH pioneered a ‘micro network’ global agency model. It has just six offices worldwide - London, New York, Singapore, Tokyo, Sao Paulo and Shanghai. BBH employs more than 600 staff globally. Despite its size, the agency has attracted major global brands including Audi, Vodafone, Levi Straus, British Airways, Johnnie Walker, Omo/Persil & Axe/Lynx. The company was responsible for some of the most talked about campaigns of the last two decades, including commercials such as Levi’s ‘Laundrette’, and Levi's ‘Flatbeat’ featuring Flat Eric, a small yellow puppet. They were also responsible for 'Vorsprung durch Technik' for Audi, ‘The Axe Effect’ for Unilever and ‘Keep Walking’ for Johnnie Walker. The agency’s extensive use of music has produced nine number one singles in the UK alone

BBH is not a typical agency network. They have deliberately limited themselves to offices in four key regional centers – London for Europe, New York for North America, Tokyo for Asia Pacific and Sao Paulo for Latin America. These five regional hubs will work collectively in the Case of Mabwe Safari Lodge The structure allows the focus on consumer similarities, operational efficiencies and the development of international or pan regional communication solutions for brands. The priority is the creation of big ideas for brands; ideas that successfully engage, cross borders and unite consumers. 71% of their group income derives from work which runs in more than one country. They understand that a strong central agency can help overcome one of the problems that comes with a network, namely that there is rarely a consistency of quality across all offices.

Golf Course Design: Coore & Crenshaw Coore & Crenshaw was formed in 1986. Jobs by Coore & Crenshaw in the late 1980's included renovation work at Houston Country Club and Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansas. In 1991 they completed 18 holes at the Barton Creek Club in Austin, Texas and The Plantation Course at Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii, which has been the site of the PGA Tour's Mercedes Championship since 1999. In 1992, Coore & Crenshaw, Inc. completed a nine-hole addition at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma and a complete restoration of Brook Hollow Country Club in Dallas Texas. Other restoration projects by Coore & Crenshaw include the Arlington course at Hot Springs Country Club in Hot Springs, Arkansas (1994), Lakewood Country Club in Dallas, Texas (1993-1995), Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas (1995) and Onion Creek Country Club in Austin, Texas (1996-1997). In June, 1995 Coore & Crenshaw opened their most ambitious project, the Sand Hills Golf Club near Mullen, Nebraska. Built among the dunes of Nebraska, the property is very reminiscent of land in Scotland or the Australian coastline. Built at a cost of only $1.2 million, the Sand Hills was named best new private course for 1995 by GOLF DIGEST. The Sand Hills has consistently been rated #1 on the GOLFWEEK list of best courses built since 1960. Six additional C&C designs are currently on the list. Following work at the Sand Hills, Coore & Crenshaw made the decision to eliminate restoration work and to concentrate on new construction projects. Work through the end of the 90's included a nine-hole addition at Onion Creek in Austin, Texas, Klub Rimba Irian in Indonesia, Cuscowilla Golf Club on Lake Oconee in Georgia, 36 holes at Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Warren Course at Notre Dame and East Hampton Golf Club. The company philosophy of Coore & Crenshaw is to work on a maximum of two projects at any time, giving their clients the most of their time and attention. While this limits the number of projects in the company portfolio, it allows the partners to choose the best sites that lend themselves to classic design, requiring a minimum amount of dirt to be moved. Completed projects by Coore & Crenshaw since 2000 include Friar's Head Golf Club on Long Island, Austin Golf Club, Chechessee Creek Golf Club on Spring Island, Hidden Creek Golf Club near Atlantic City, Bandon Trails in Oregon and Old Sandwich Golf Club near Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Page 107 Projects about completion include Colorado Golf Club in Parker, Colorado and We-Ko-Pa in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company is also under contract to do several other projects into 2007 & 2008.

For 10 years, prior to immigrating to Canada in 1993, Dr, Green managed his own Consulting Engineering and Construction Companies in Swaziland and South Africa. Since October 2003, he once again set up his own company which he is operating at present. Through this company he has acted as Proposal Manager and Engineering Manager on a number of Design Build projects for extensions and alterations to Nuclear Plants, Factory and Plant Upgrades which required the coordination of engineers, contractors and customers and set up a Quality Management Program for Aecon, a Major Canadian Contracting Company and also assisted them in finalizing and achieving their N286 Nuclear Quality status. He also set up and managed the engineering division for SLN’s Balance of Plant project at Bruce Power which included a staff compliment of 50 people. He has handled civil and structural projects throughout Swaziland, South Africa, Mozambique, England, Wales, Canada and the United States of America. His projects have ranged from simple garage slabs through to fourteen-storey apartment and office blocks, major water and wastewater treatment facilities, nuclear generating plants and numerous industrial and institutional buildings. His design expertise has included the use of structural mediums such as concrete, structural steel, masonry, gunite / shotcrete and pultruded plastics. Through his research into reinforced concrete, he has become fully conversant with the needs and requirements of testing and evaluating the condition and integrity of existing structures and has been called upon to undertake Discoveries for Major Projects where legal disputes have arisen. He has also been appointed as the North American Agent to source funds for three Major Southern African ventures. As Chief Engineer for Earth Tech, a subsidiary of Tyco International, his duties included review of all design, procurement of engineering services within and outside the company and coordinating the design efforts and value engineering sessions for all Design-Build-Own-Operate Projects and reviewing and or writing proposals, where his experience at writing documents played a significant role in producing a concise, grammatically correct and accurate account of the customer’s requests and requirements. While acting as the Chief Engineer, he also assumed the role of Quality Management Representative and successfully led the Design - Build team through the establishment of its ISO 9001/2000 registration in a record five months. He later became the Corporate Quality Manager to set up and manage the Quality Management Systems for Earth Tech Inc. globally. His exceptional interpersonal dynamic skills finely tuned through years of successful employee interaction and often dealing with diverse cultures have enabled Dr. Green to deftly guide and encourage staff to work together through extremely difficult conditions and effectively address challenges with rewarding results.

Marketing Strategy

Page 124 Royal Chipepo is a hugely exciting and ambitious project. Its target market is the medium-upper to upper class citizens of the world. Price Waterhouse Coopers found in a survey conducted in December 2006 that 41% of affluent U.S. Households are familiar with fractional ownership and one-sixth may purchase within five years. The Golf course will be designed so as to compete with the worlds best and this will broaden the pool of potential purchasers immensely. The development of the Game Reserve will naturally add greatly to the value of the resort due to the large worldwide eco-tourism market. In addition, the Health and Wellness aspect wil further increase market acceptance. Sub-Saharan Africa is internationally known for the wildlife, culture and natural beauty. The challenge of marketing Royal Chipepo is to provide better activities and opportunities as South African, Botswana and other ecotourism facilities. This will take a large portion of dedicated expertise and money. To enable the Marketing Team to do what is required will take a sizeable budget even if the Resort was located in a more accessible area. It is thus of vital importance that a well thought out Strategic Marketing Plan is developed in phase one of the project development as this will avoid waste and duplication of effort and guarantee maximum exposure right from the outset.

Key Competitive Capabilities We are better positioned than our main competitors to take advantage of new trends in the market. The particular trend that will benefit us is

•

the international move to fractional ownership holiday homes

•

the growth in golf

•

the growth in and health and wellness tourism

•

and the constant growth in international class big 5 tourism destinations.

Our key competitive advantage lies in our concept approach, location and amenities.

Key Competitive Weaknesses In comparison to our primary competitors we possess some competitive weaknesses that may limit the success of our business. These are the remoteness of the location and resulting logistical issues. We intend to offset these weaknesses by:

•

providing low cost air transport from Livingstone and Lusaka

•

Providing a large percentage of our requirements through community projects.

Page 125

Strategy Our strategy is based on the highly distinctive and superior fractional ownership shares that we offer. Our strategic advantage lies in our unwavering provision of world class accommodation, entertainment and services resulting in superior to client satisfaction. Our strategy is to build an exclusive an unparalleled service driven organization. While Mabwe Safari Lodge will become recognized as highly competent in all areas of its business, we intend to be recognized as the clear leader in the provision of an incomparable African experience in ultimate luxury. We will continue to appoint the finest companies and employees to ensure that this African experience remains unrivalled in Zambia. We believe that truly outstanding excellence in this area will clearly distinguish us from other firms in the industry and will provide the best opportunity for building and maintaining a leadership position. Our primary strategy is to focus on the African big 5 Ecotourism and fractional holiday home ownership. While the other markets for this product are already fairly well developed in developed countries, we believe that we will have a significant advantage by being the first company to aggressively develop this new market in Zambia. Most of the resorts serving African big 5 Ecotourism also serve much larger markets and give no or only secondary attention to the African luxury fractional ownership holiday home market. On the other hand, Mabwe Safari Lodge will give our total focus to this niche; our key executives will stay in personal touch with customers in this niche; and we will be able to respond to changes in this market much faster than our competitors. We are going to plan our business very carefully; have rigorous hiring and training programs; have specific policies and standards for serving customers; and carefully monitor the quality of our service. We are also going to carefully communicate and market to our customers the key differences and advantages in investing in Mabwe Safari Lodge and ensure that our target customers know that choosing us as an investment is the safe choice for a consistent, high quality holiday experience.

Implementing Strategy Successful implementation of our strategy needs an unwavering focus on the marketing and sales of fractional ownership shares. While we shall be diligent in all aspects of implementing our strategy, we will give extra emphasis to this dimension. Because we are competing in a marketplace and industry where fast and dramatic change is the norm and not the exception, we will evaluate the success and effectiveness of all aspects of our strategy on an ongoing basis. It is likely that minor aspects of our strategy or product positioning will change frequently, and it is likely that we will make significant changes in strategic direction from time to time. Similarly we are going to take a pragmatic approach to implementing our strategy for the marketing and sales of fractional ownership shares. At the same time it is Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 126 the rapidly changing dynamics of our marketplace that make strategy extremely important, and we fully intend to give the strategic process and its implementation the importance that it deserves.

Strategic Plan The first task of the Marketing Team will be to consolidate the concept of Royal Chipepo into a unified theme which will run throughout the development of the project and which must not be deviated from in any way. This will enable a strong and unambiguous identity to emerge and develop in a planned and goal directed way. A corporate Identity must be developed, which captures the theme and ambiance of the resort in name and appearance, colour and style. This style and quality of execution must be carried through to the architectural design, all publicity materials and later on to staff uniforms, vehicle livery, promotional items, signage, and stationary. A Design Mission Statement needs to be formulated to which everyone involved in the development subscribes. This will be the Developments “True North”, and will always be referred to when designing any new element for the project. The design of the Corporate Identity follows and its aim is to provide a framework around which the image of the development can grow and prosper in the minds of the target visitors. All publicity must be carefully centred on the theme so as to seat itself in people’s minds long before completion of the development. The reasons for this are that the type of visitor sought, plans their holidays at least a year in advance, so if we are to enjoy reasonable occupancy rates at launch, Royal Chipepo must be on the target markets’ shopping list at least a year prior to completion of the first phase. All Public Relations opportunities must be wholly capitalised upon. A sod-turning ceremony must be accompanied by a media visit, strongly supported by largescale models and computer simulations of the resort. The re-stocking of the Game Reserve will also provide media opportunities. In short, weekly media events strung out during the whole development period must be pre-planned and meticulously executed to ensure top of mind awareness coupled to building the correct image in public minds as to what the resort is all about. Although Royal Chipepo’s remoteness is a positive attribute for safety and tranquillity it must clearly offer value for money to the visitor. The rich did not get that way by being fleeced by their holiday venues.

Reaching the Target Visitor Mabwe Safari Lodge target visitor is not to be effectively reached by using the mass media, except where media publicity comes “free” by means of Public Relations. Mainstream Advertising, especially on a worldwide basis is prohibitively expensive and is a wasteful misuse of resources. Targeted Specialist publications such as Yachting Times, the Big Game Fishing and Deep Sea Diving magazines are where money spent will do the most effective job.

Page 127 Conservation Magazines, Golfing, and Lifestyle Magazines are where the Adspend should be allocated. This means that care should be exercised in the choice of Advertising Agency to handle this project. Mainstream Agencies make their living by media commissions and it will not sit easily with a Mainstream Agency to limit Media spend to boutique publications where the commissions are small. Endorsement is particularly effective with the target market. Safari enthusiasts, Golfers, Bass and Tiger Fishermen and Hunters must offer input to design facilities and endorse the venue to the target audience. The other advantage to this route is that expensive mistakes can be avoided by carefully choosing the expert to help in the design and launch of the product.

Launch There is only one opportunity to make a good first impression, and first impressions last. The launch of Royal Chipepo and its rollout to the market place must be unique and will consequently create a number of exciting opportunities. Naturally, as with all large developments they are money gobblers before they generate positive cash flows. Royal Chipepo will mirror the precarious balance between launching as early as possible, and providing the best possible experience to the first guests. These first guests would naturally be the worlds’ media, salted with a sprinkling of International celebrities who will provide the human interest, gossip and gaudy headlines only they can provide. The launch should be used as a testing period to fine-tune all services, which will be provided to the paying guest later. This serves a dual purpose, it softens any hint of criticism of the media when they are specifically asked to provide feedback to management as to how the resort could function better, and it provides free market research in order to improve the experience offered. Ideally, the launch should be tied to another event, which should become an annual event, for example “The Million Dollar Golf Tournament” at Sun City. The demands of this event will be quite different to the Sun City event as Royal Chipepo will not have the facilities or the luxury of thousands of day visitors within a few hours drive of the development. It follows therefore that the event chosen to be the launch vehicle and preferably, the annual event, will be something which draws an exclusive, small, high-worth individual, either as a competitor himself or as a member of the audience keen enough to cross the world to witness the event. Royal Chipepo will attempt to own an event – like a golfing or outdoor challenge which is unique to it, and build on it every year. This route is far more cost effective than doing new things every year and not capitalising on the previous years marketing and PR efforts. The first year should perhaps have a few carefully chosen events, and that which seems to have the best potential, should be chosen as the annual event or events. Naturally, more than one event per year may be hosted. An event that draws visitors in the natural off-season may be needed as well as the annual big draw card.

Page 128 It is important that any Consultant appointed is looked at from a long-term viewpoint, as this project will require staying power, great creativity, and boldness.

Approach The marketing of Mabwe Safari Lodge project will be undertaken on a dualpronged basis. The first is the Internal Marketing Plan and the second being External Marketing Plan. Each of these prongs will focus on very specific sectors of the global markets that, through their commercial exploitation, will ensure the long term viability and success of the project

Internal Marketing Plan This plan will focus on the various industries that could benefit from the commercial activities being developed and offered on an outsourced basis by Royal Chipepo Wildlife Sanctuary, Lakeside Golf Estate Health Spa and Marina Resort. This would include the following categories of commercial activities and operations:

•

International Upmarket Hotels Groups

•

Leading Game Lodge and Bush Camp Operators

•

International Fractional Ownership Operators

•

International Boutiques and Designer Label Stores

•

Various General Retail Operators and Restaurateurs

•

Marina Management Specialists

•

Yacht, Fishing and Diving Charter Operators

•

International Golf Course Management Specialists

•

Property Management Specialists

•

Activity Centre Operators

•

International Events and Marketing Specialists

•

Initial Canvassing Multimedia presentations of the project will be complied and used by a professional marketing team under the leadership of the Management Team Member responsible for Corporate Imaging and Promotion.

Page 129 This team will target selected preferential international operators in the above categories and will enter into dialogue with prospective Operators and Suppliers in each. After an initial qualification process a presentation pack will be handed out to each of those selected Operators who it is believed have the necessary expertise and quality of service required of the Development. The presentation pack will comprise of a CD presentation, a detailed written offer as well as a Corporate Gift suitably packaged to project the quality and unequalled standard of Mabwe Safari Lodge. In addition, a web site www.RoyalChipepo.com will be developed to market the various leases and concessions to be granted in terms of the above. This Website will also be a valuable tool in the overall marketing strategy for the various commercial opportunities.

Closure and Consultation Once a potential operator/concession holder has been identified and fully qualified, a process of site visits and consultations will take place between the respective qualified Commercial Operator and Control Team Members for Corporate Imaging & Promotion, Amenities Letting & Leasing as well as Design & Engineering. During these discussions all matters relating to the Design requirements, Furnishing and Fitting and Leasing/Concession arrangements will be finalised. All costs relating to the design, construction, furnishing and fitting of the various facilities will remain that of the project. The internal designs, furnishing and fitting of the facilities will be to the specific requirement of the operators. In addition the Management Team will also assist the successful operator/concession holder (if required) with complying with all the necessary rules and regulations of the project and the investment laws of Zambia.

External Marketing Plan This aspect of the marketing is focused on the fun and sun loving global tourist at large and also targeted special interest groups. These can be summarised as follows:-

•

The International Bass- and Tigerfishing Fraternity.

•

Health and Wellness travelers

•

Eco-tourism, Wildlife and Birding Fraternity.

•

Golfing enthusiasts

•

Water Sport Fraternity.

•

Hunters

Initial Canvassing Again strong use will be made of the Multimedia presentations to the various target markets specified above. In addition major Television Networks (eg. CNN, NBC, Sky, ESPN and BBC Travel Channel) will be used to advertise the Resort as a new tourism destination in Africa. Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved © Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 130 Periodicals such as Fortune, Time, International Cosmopolitan, Leadership, National Geographic and Conde Nast Magazines will be used as a vehicle of international advertising. In addition Media Tours will be arranged with the International Printed and Electronic Media to secure as much ‘Advertorial’ and Editorial space as possible. Specialised marketing agencies will also be approached to represent the marketing of the resort on an agency basis

Conclusion In order that Royal Chipepo becomes a “top of mind” resort among the world target market, an intensive and planned publicity programme is essential

Environmental Aspects The main philosophy of Mabwe Safari Lodge development focuses on the responsible development and conservation of the available natural resources on a sustainable basis for the long-term benefit of the environment and the local people, both now and for future generations to come. In keeping with the above philosophy UpliftAfrica has adopted a development ethic that in all spheres promotes the achievement of the above. The current reality of poverty in the region of Royal Chipepo and the resultant effect such poverty is having on the natural environment will be firmly addressed by UpliftAfrica in establishing its conservation and environmental ethic and strategy, whilst also taking cognizance of the fact that the natural resources and wild areas in the Mabwe Safari Lodge region are unprotected at large and require practical and effective management policies to be implemented for the short-term renewal and long-term conservation thereof. The pivotal concept in the Company’s development philosophy is responsible development, and in achieving this the company will undertake extensive Environmental Assessments and Impact Studies prior to all development phases of Mabwe Safari Lodge project. Furthermore, in view of the company’s sincere commitment to its philosophy it has requested the appointed senior project manager SIP Project Management to provide a Letter of Undertaking to comply with all the relevant laws, regulations, zoning and environmental requirements. The initial implementation or phase one of the project will essentially entail the overall final detailed planning of the project whilst undertaking a full environmental and social assessment as well as the development of a practical Conservation Management Plan

Introduction Foreword Uplift Africa’s environmental objective is to undertake, own and promote development of wild areas that have a direct bearing on the future wellbeing and conservation of wildlife, the environment and the socio economic upliftment of the affected communities living in and around these wild areas. This is achieved by developing the unique potential of each identified wild area and in doing so creating a platform for all the stakeholders to enjoy the fruits of the ever-growing world eco-tourism market. The Uplift Africa’s team of experts have participated in numerous developments in South Africa and Zambia and are now focusing on Zambia using their considerable expertise to help build a brighter future whilst ensuring that the conservation and sustainable utilisation of it’s vast natural resources is enhanced Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved © Mabwe Safari Lodge/C.

Conclusion This Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been compiled by Uplift for the implementation of the project and for the initial construction phase of the project and will be appropriately amended and updated as the project progresses and as new phases of the project are planned for implementation and commencement.

Environmental Management Plan Environmental Policy An environmental policy has been formulated by the management of Uplift Africa’s to guide the construction EMP. This policy incorporates key elements of the environment and is also primarily guided by environmental legislation in Zambia and conditions on the ground in the Chipepo Area. Uplift Africa’s and Royal Chipepo and all the relevant Consultants, Contractors and Subcontractors, Concessionaires and Sub-concessionaires shall agree to abide by this policy.

Organisational Structure The organisational structure identifies the responsibility and lines of authority of the various group and external organisations involved in the project. This section specifies in detail not only the organizational structure but the management structure that has been implemented to ensure the responsible development of Mabwe Safari Lodge Wildlife Sanctuary, Lakeside Golf Estate Health Spa and Marina Resort AND internationally accepted conservation and environmental principles. In addition the CV’s for Executives responsible for the environmental and conservation aspects of the development have also been included.

Environmental Management Plan This Environmental Management Plan includes all environmental specifications for the construction phase of the project which shall be continually tested and amended to ensuring the appropriateness of the specifications at all times.

Training and Standards This section of the Environmental Management Plan specifies the on site training and specific standards that will be applied to ensure proper compliance with the environmental specification established herein for the construction phase of the project.

Inspection Procedure and Review The concluding section of this Environmental Management Plan contains the Inspection Procedures and Review Processes to be used in the monitoring of the Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved © Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 139 implementation thee environmental specifications for the construction phase of the project. It also determines the action to be taken by the Developer in the instance of disregard by a Consultant, Contractor or Sub-contractor, Concessionaire or Sub-concessionaire.

Aim of the Site Specific Construction Environmental Management Plan The purpose of this EMP is to set environmental targets for the various Contractors (defined as the lead Contractor and any nominated or selected Sub-contractors) and reasonable standards against which the Contractor's performance in this regard can be measured during construction the various project construction phases. This document will form the basis for the environmental specifications that the Contractors, in terms of their various construction contracts, will be obliged to adhere to during the construction operations. This document as amended from time to time will therefore be included as an addendum to all construction contracts and form part of the binding agreement between the Contractor and the Developer. This Construction EMP has addressed issues in order to ensure that all environmental aspects are carefully considered and monitored in order to comply with the Developers philosophies as specified herein. This EMP has as its basis the conditions of approval of the Zambia Government and the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own policies regarding responsible development of natural resources. Input has been obtained from both Marine and Terrestrial Ecologists and a Landscape Architect during the preparation of the EMP in order to fulfill the requirements of the Developer. As alluded to earlier in this EMP, it is important that the development and implementation of environmental specifications is an on-going process that is iterative in nature. This document is thus the initial version of the EMP for the construction of Phase One of Mabwe Safari Lodge Project as more fully described in the Developers Detailed Business Plan.

Site Demarcation The 'site' refers to the total area where the Contractors will undertake their respective contracts. The “construction area” is defined as all areas required by the Contractors to undertake construction activities. As the majority of the sites will not be considered to be environmentally sensitive, the Contractors will be permitted to undertake construction activities across most of the site, however on sites that are environmentally sensitive such “construction areas” are to be clearly identified and demarked by the Contractor and the ECO. Areas where construction activities are prohibited are referred to as 'no-go' areas. These will include any area so designated and clearly demarked as such by the ECO. Where practical 'No-go' areas will be demarcated by a temporary fence of at least three strands of wire, the position of which will be agreed by the ECO, the ER and the Contractor. Entry into these areas without the ECO's permission will result in a penalty as specified in the List of Penalties At some point, works may be required in these ‘No-go’ areas. The ECO must be notified at least one week before the commencement of activities in these areas in order to ensure that these works are closely supervised, with the express aim of not allowing any unacceptable level of degradation to take place in these areas. Under no circumstances shall any chemical pollutants enter drainage lines, river systems, mangroves, dams or swamp areas. The Contractors have decision-making powers within the defined construction areas. The ECO will advise the Contractors via the ER on environmental matters within the construction area. The ECO has jurisdiction and decision-making power in the ‘No-go’ areas.

Site Clearing Vegetation clearing Before clearing of vegetation, the Contractor shall ensure that all litter and foreign material is removed from site. Clearing and/or pruning of vegetation should only be undertaken with prior knowledge of the ECO. All trees are to be assessed by the ECO, Conservation General Manager and Landscape Architect for retention or removal. Those trees to be removed will be clearly marked by ECO and Conservation General Manager the Landscape Architect. Marked trees are to be felled and removed by the Contractor to an appropriate storage area for further beneficial use of the local communities. Any damage caused to unmarked trees will result in the implementation of the penalty system (refer to List of Penalties. All other woody alien vegetation shall be cleared. This material shall be stored separately in areas agreed to by the ECO, Conservation General Manager and the Contractor and disposed of at an approved waste site. Any use of systemic herbicide such as 'Roundup' or 'Mamba' as per the manufacturers' instructions for removal of vegetation will only be done with the prior approval of the ECO. Once dead, all surface vegetation is to be removed from the site. The Contractor shall ensure that no sediment-laden runoff enters the drainage lines, river system, mangroves or swap lands as a result of the removal of vegetation cover. All exposed areas that are to be replanted with grass in accordance with the Landscape Architect's plans are to be planted with appropriate indigenous grass, as per the Landscape Architect's instruction.

The Contractor shall be responsible for any clean-up resulting from the failure by his employees or suppliers to properly secure transported materials. The Contractor shall ensure that these delivery drivers are supervised during offloading. All material shall be stored away from the ‘No-go’ areas. All fuel, oil and other hazardous substances shall be confined to demarcated, adequately bunded areas and stored in suitable containers. The relevant Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for all hazardous chemical substances (as defined in the Regulations for Hazardous Chemical Substances) shall be on site. Procedures detailed in the MSDSs shall be followed in the event of an emergency situation. The Contractors shall ensure that:

•

all toxic/hazardous products (i.e., fuel, poisons, bitumen etc.) are stored and handled in a manner that minimizes the potential for spillage and possible pollution to the ground or river courses, mangroves and swap lands. The Contractors shall submit a Method Statement, for approval by the ECO, detailing the methods intended for storage and disposal of oil, fuel and other hazardous substances. This Method Statement should also detail precautions that shall be implemented

•

spills and leakage of these substances are limited. Any accidental spill of oils or chemicals is to be reported to the ECO and Environmental Consultants immediately so that the best remediation method can be quickly implemented.

•

run-off from any stockpile, fuel or hazardous material storage area does not contaminate any drainage line, mangrove or swamp land.

Solid waste management Solid waste includes all construction debris (cement bags, old cement, tags, wrapping materials, timber, cans, wire, nails, etc) waste and surplus food, food packaging, organic waste, etc. The Contractors shall be responsible for the establishment of a solid waste control and removal system that is acceptable to the ECO in order to prevent the spread of waste in, and beyond, the construction site. Wherever possible, an integrated waste management approach shall be used, based on the principles of waste minimization, reduction, reuse and recycling of materials. This policy shall be included in the Environmental Awareness Training Sessions. Containers for glass, paper, metals and plastics shall be provided. Office and camp areas are particularly suited for this purpose. A Method Statement must be submitted. All waste bins must have lids and be suitably wind-proof and primate-proof, being made of a durable, appropriate material. Bins are to be located at all areas of the site used by the Contractors, with waste to be removed from the waste bins daily. The Contractors shall ensure that the site is fully cleaned up on a weekly basis. The general cleanliness of the site shall form part of the ECOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspections. All waste shall be stored in a demarcated area, which meets the satisfaction of the ECO. Dumping of construction rubble, cut vegetation or other material will only be permitted in areas indicated by the ECO. No waste material or litter shall be burnt or buried on site.

Provision of water The Contractors will be responsible for ensuring that there is access to drinking water for all employees on site. Any such facility must be carefully controlled so as not to cause damage to surrounding areas through erosion or polluted runoff. The use of the natural surface water as a drinking water supply is strictly forbidden (refer to List of Penalties). However the use of authorised wells and borehole water is permitted after necessary approvals by the ECO (subject to water testing).

Wastewater The Contractor(s) shall prevent pollution of surface or groundwater from the release, accidental or otherwise of chemicals, oils, fuels, cement, sewage, construction water, water carrying products, etc as a result of construction activities. The Contractors shall be responsible for the construction and operation of necessary collection facilities in order to prevent such pollution and/or settlement of suspended matter and shall dispose of the collected material as approved by the ER and ECO. Runoff from fuel depots, workshops, truck washing areas and concrete swills shall be directed into a conservancy tank and disposed of at a location approved by the ECO and local authority.

Page 151 Temporary storm water drainage and detention from the works shall be designed in collaboration with the ER and ECO. No wastewater shall be disposed of into mangroves, drainage lines, rivers, estuary, dams or swamp lands.

Vehicles and equipment refueling and maintenance Vehicles shall only be refueled in a demarcated refueling/servicing area. The surface under the refueling/servicing area shall be protected against pollution to the reasonable satisfaction of the ECO and Engineer prior to any refueling activities taking place. When servicing equipment, drip trays shall be used to collect the waste oil and other lubricants.

The use of detergents for washing shall be restricted to low phosphate and nitrate content, low sudsingtype detergents.

Construction Erosion and sedimentation control The Contractors must, as an ongoing exercise, provide sedimentation and erosion control. During construction the Contractors shall protect areas susceptible to erosion by installing necessary temporary and permanent drainage works as soon as possible and by taking other measures necessary to prevent the surface water from being concentrated in streams and from scouring the slopes, banks or other areas. During construction the Contractors shall implement measures to prevent the migration of material (fines) from the works into the river course or drainage lines. This may include the use of barrier or catch fences constructed from geofabric, straw bales or geofabric siltation barriers constructed across the site at specific points. The drainage course may be modified for use as a retention pond during bulk earthworks, but the ECO must be notified of any construction activity in the drainage course at least one week prior to the commencement of such activities. Method Statements shall be developed and submitted to the ECO to deal with erosion and sedimentation issues 10 days prior to bulk earthworks operations commencing. Any runnels or erosion channels developed during the construction period or during maintenance periods shall be backfilled and compacted, and the areas restored to a proper condition. Stabilisation of cleared areas to prevent and control erosion and/or sedimentation shall be actively managed. The method of stabilisation shall determined in consultation with the Engineer.

Page 152 Consideration and provision shall be made for the following methods (or combination):

•

Brushcut packing (although no alien plant material may be used for this purpose);

•

Mulch or chip cover (although no alien plant material may be used for this purpose);

•

Straw stabilising (at a rate of one bale/m2 rotated into the top 100mm of the completed earthworks; only straw bales held with string (not wire) may be used);

•

Watering;

•

Planting/sodding;

•

Hand seeding/sowing Hydro-seeding;

Ekotrust Core Services Ekotrust specializes in wildlife management, wildlife production and economic assessments, vegetation ecology, range condition assessment, floristic diversity and rare species assessments, and alien plant management.

Examples of projects Numerous projects have been undertaken in large conservation areas. Of note is the project that was carried out on behalf of the National Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism on the phytosociology, vegetation dynamics and conservation in the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park, a region covering 2 approximately 10 000 km . Some modelling aspects of this project were carried out in collaboration with the Institute for Ecological Modelling, Leipzig, Germany.

Page 202 The project was followed up by a request by the Peace Parks Foundation to classify the vegetation and compile a map of the entire Kgalagadi Transfrontier 2 Park covering an area of approximately 36 000 km , which could serve as basis for future planning of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. This project was done in collaboration with the University of Botswana, Gaberone. Other large privately owned game reserves in which vegetation surveys, range condition assessments, and wildlife management plans have been developed include amongst others: Tswalu Kalahari Reserve (96 000 ha), Maremani Nature Reserve (42 000 ha) and Timbavati, Klaserie & Umbabat Game Reserve (145 000 ha). Also involved in the Maguga Dam project in Swaziland, which is a joint venture between South Africa and Swaziland. As a result of the building of the dam some of the inhabitants had to be relocated and a feasibility study had to be done to establish whether the resettlement area would be able to sustain the new inhabitants. The study included a range condition assessment and development of a cattle management plan. Annual monitoring of the vegetation layer since 2000 to determine whether any changes are occurring. A comprehensive study was undertaken for the Authority of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park. This study covered the part of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park from Mapelane and St Lucia in the south to Sodwana and Mkuzi Game Reserve 2 in the north (approximately 2 070 km ). The study included an assessment of the following elements: a synthesis of available information regarding the environment, vegetation types, veld condition, fire management, fencing and plantations; the preparation of veld management and ecological grazing and browsing capacity guidelines; the preparation of management guidelines for the retracted forestry areas in the park; a review of information on the suitable types of wildlife for the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park; a review and assessment of present grazing and browsing capacity estimates for all the different sections in the park; an evaluation of the wetland reed beds in terms of ecological grazing capacity and its ecological role. The outcome of the study was a wildlife re-establishment and introduction management plan for the next five years. The plan was framed within the objectives of biodiversity conservation, ecosystem functioning and tourism promotion. Requested to develop policy documents for Ezemvelo KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife. These policies concern the re-establishment and introduction of wildlife in the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park as well as a policy on alien plant management in Ezemvelo KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife reserves. Have made numerous contributions to Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) both locally and also internationally, e.g. the vegetation of the proposed Langer Heinrich Uranium mine near Swakopmund in Namibia.

Zambian Commercial Overview Executive Summary Zambia is a landlocked southern African country of 10.4 million people, with good mineral resources, extensive arable land and normally adequate rainfall. The country’s GDP in 2001 was $3.9 billion. A Zambian Central Statistics Office (CSO) survey (1998) indicated that 72.9% of Zambians live below the poverty line. Zambia has one of the highest urban populations, at 46%, in sub-Saharan Africa, with high unemployment. Agriculture accounted for 20% of GDP in 2001 and over 17% of employment, while copper and cobalt exports accounted for 77% of export earnings. Copper alone increased by 27% in export volume in 2001. Zambia began an economic reform program in 1991, and has made significant progress in liberalizing the domestic economy, foreign trade, and privatizing parastatal enterprises. The vast majority of Zambia’s 330 parastatal companies had been privatized by April 2000, including the copper mining conglomerate ZCCM. The remaining parastatals either have begun the process or are scheduled for privatization over the following year. The tariff structure is designed to facilitate imports of certain materials particularly in the agriculture and energy sectors. There is no discrimination against foreign investors, and no overt restrictions on repatriation of capital or profits. A number of instances of government interference in the private sector, a weak court system, and inadequate law enforcement tarnish in practice Zambia’s liberal investment framework. There is a significant presence of U.S. companies in the Zambian market. Bilateral trade, however, is limited by high transportation costs, the relatively small Zambian market, and low incomes. Zambia is a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), and the Southern African Development Community (SADC).

Economic Trends and Outlook Major Trends and Outlook: Zambia’s extensive economic reform program took a giant step forward in 2000 with the sale of the parastatal Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM) in 2000. ZCCM had been the major impediment to Zambia’s macroeconomic stability; its privatization has opened the doors for foreign investment and donor cash injections by demonstrating Zambia’s commitment to serious reform. Other companies slated to be privatized or run on a concession basis include the Zambian National Commercial Bank, the Zambian Telecommunications Company, and Zambia Railways. The US government funded a feasibility study for the divestment of the state-owned Zambia Electrical Supply Corporation (Zesco), and in late 2001 the GRZ approved the privatization option and directed the Zambia Privatization Agency (ZPA) to proceed with the selection of consultants to assist in the concessioning process. There have also been studies commissioned to examine the privatization of the postal service and the National Airports Company (NAC).

Page 233 However, investment in the mining industry was thrown for a loop this year when the Anglo-America Corporation (AAC), the major shareholder in Zambia’s largest mine, Konkola Copper Mines (KCM), informed the government that it would not proceed with further investments in KCM. They cited financial losses linked to declining world copper prices and failure to secure funding for the Konkola Deep Mining Project (KDMP), which was the main basis for its investment in Zambia in March 2000. Other mining companies have also informed the government that the viability of their investment plans is threatened by low copper prices. The government, in consultation with the private minority stakeholders, is conducting negotiations with AAC to pursue options, including attracting a new strategic investor to ensure that KCM remains open and in the hands of the private sector. Privatization of the economy allows quicker and more flexible responses to unforeseen economic developments (see chapter V for an updated look at the privatization climate in 2001). Governmental corruption and bureaucratic inefficiency are continuing problems that affect the business environment. As was expected, in December 2000 international financial institutions supported interim debt relief for Zambia under the Highly Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) initiative, which should reduce Zambia’s debt service obligations by about 45%. Total debt service relief from all Zambia’s creditors should be worth more than US$2.5 billion, with bilateral donors pledging 100% debt cancellation once HIPC conditions have been met. So far, Zambia has drawn $134.8 million under the Fund. In addition, in May of 2002, the IMF completed its 4th review of Zambia’s performance under an economic program supported by the Poverty Reduction Growth Facility (PRGF), and agreed to increase the amount of potential access to IMF resources under the program. Zambia is expected to reach its HIPC Completion Point by late 2003. The total external debt increased by 15.2% in 2001, from $6.3 billion to $7.2 billion. Inflation decreased in 2001 from 30.1% in 2000 to 18.7%, which was well in line with the 2001 target of 17.5%. The favorable inflationary developments were a result of the slow down in money supply growth, appreciation of the Kwacha against the US dollar, and lower oil prices, leading to stable petroleum and electricity prices. The year-end target for 2002 is 13%. However, food shortages will keep up food prices, the main component of the consumer price index. As a result of pressure from international financial institutions, Zambia will continue its tight fiscal and monetary policies, as well as stabilizing the exchange rate to mitigate inflationary pressures. The $229 million target for foreign reserves in 2002 will be difficult to realize and will be greatly dependent on the amount of pledged donor support that is realized. In July 2000, the twelfth Consultative Group meeting in Lusaka, resulted in pledges worth US$1 billion, US$355 million of which was balance of payment support. In July 2002, the thirteenth Consultative Group (CG) meeting in Lusaka and Livingstone resulted in pledges totaling $1.3 billion, the largest amount in Zambia’s CG history. The Kwacha remained relatively stable in 2001, with a December average of ZK4, 215.90 per US$1. Then in mid-January the Kwacha appreciated after a move by the Bank of Zambia and Ministry of Finance to tighten the monetary supply and to take precautionary exchange measures. Most notable was the use of US$25 million worth of foreign exchange reserves in an attempt to stabilize the currency. The sudden, but brief appreciation hurt exporters, particularly those in the non-traditional exporter sector. The Kwacha depreciated further this year and was trading at about 4,435 Kwacha per $1 as of July 2002. Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved © Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 234 Principal Growth Sectors: The 2001 outlook for copper is still encouraging, despite the KCM situation. Most noted was the rebound of the mining sector in 2001, recording a growth of 14% in real valued added compared to a growth of .1% in 2000. The performance of the sector was due to a significant increase in copper and cobalt production for the period. In 2001, Zambia produced 296,000 tons of copper compared to 226,169 in the previous year, an achievement given that the privatized companies took over on April 1. In 2001, export earnings increased by 17%, reaching US$871 million compared to $746 million in 2000. The 2000-2001 rainy season was generally unfavorable and thus negatively affected agricultural activities. The 2001-2002 production season was even worse, resulting in widespread food shortages. The poor harvest was the result of both drought and delayed availability of agricultural inputs. There is growing interest by small farmers to engage in more valuable crops such as coffee and tobacco, which provide cash income. Non-traditional exports, such as tobacco, coffee and floriculture and horticulture products rose by 13% in 2001. Non-reciprocal access offered by the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) and Cotonou Agreement to the US and EU markets, respectively, should encourage additional growth. In 2000, Zambia qualified as an eligible country under the AGOA and gained access to the preferential treatment for apparel in the fall of 2001. In June 2001, the World Bank signed an agreement with the African Trade Insurance Agency (ATI), of which Zambia is a member, extending credit to the group in an effort to improve terms of trade finance for exporters in the region. The tourism industry in Zambia continues to grow. The opening of two new hotels in Livingstone marks a significant investment in the tourism industry in Zambia. In 2001, tourism in Zambia grew by a phenomenal rate of 24.2%, earning $116.9 million in revenues compared to $92.5 million in 2000. The sector also enhanced employment by building the workforce to 13,675 employees from 11,891 in 2000. The social sector currently suffers from governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal constraints and structural changes. Private sector incomes have not kept pace with inflation. The result is that people often do without basic social services. The HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to impede development, as an estimated 25% of the working age population is infected. In 2001, Zambia continued to implement health reforms focusing on the decentralization of the delivery process for health services. The drug supply situation improved marginally in 2001. However, there was a general increase in the incidence of major diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. Malaria was the leading disease diagnosed in all age groups during the review period with an incidence of 320 diagnoses per 1000 people. Regarding environmental protection, Zambia continued to implement programs such as the Environmental Support Programme (ESP), Environmental and Natural Resources Management Programme (ENRMP), Zambia Forestry Action Plan (ZFAP) and Industrial Pollution Prevention Programme (IPP). The sector is constrained by a nonexistent national environmental policy, limited public awareness of environmental problems, and poor mainstreaming of environmental concerns into sector policies. Government role in the Economy: The 2001 budget continues to be dependent on donor support, which accounts for 53% of revenues. The primary source of additional income for the Zambian government would be the proceeds from the Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 235 privatization of remaining parastatal assets, and increased tourism and energy revenues. Substantial progress was made in implementing structural reforms. At end-March 2002, the government issued instructions to the ZPA to proceed with the technical work on the divestiture of the government’s interests in the Zambian National Commercial Bank (ZNCB) and approved the privatization of ZESCO. Some of the budget expenditure categories are inflexible, thus more flexible budget line items will likely absorb any budget shortfalls. The more flexible items include capital expenditure and payment of domestic arrears, the former being vital to the infrastructure development of the economy and the latter to the confidence and ability of the private sector to perform and contribute further to revenues. Balance of Payments Situation: The trade deficit worsened as newly privatized mining companies imported equipment and spares to modernizing their operations. Despite resumed donor funding and disbursements, the current account deficit in 2001 was US$743 million, up from US$608 million in 2000. The current account deficit is projected to narrow from 20.4% of GDP to 16.2% in 2004 because of reduced borrowing by the copper mines and consequently lower imports. The World Bank continues to release Balance of Payment support (fiscal sustainability credit), which is aimed at helping Zambia sustain fiscal progress achieved in recent years by expanding fiscal adjustment beyond the central government to other public entities. It also aims to re-establish fiscal discipline through improvement in the predictability, accountability, and transparency of public spending. The fiscal deficit was 8.1% of GDP compared with the program target of 7.4%, thus net borrowing from the banking system exceeding the program target by about 1.8% of GDP. The overall deficit is projected to narrow to 5.9% in 2004, while the domestic deficit is expected to decline from 4.7% of GDP in 2001 to 2.9% in 2003. However, despite the narrowing deficit, the government projects fiscal gaps to average around 3% of GDP in 2003-2004, partly reflecting the additional debt-service payments and a projected further decline in donor budgetary support. Infrastructure: Transport and communications infrastructures are fair by regional standards. Telecommunications is expensive and is expected to stay so, as it is one of the few sources of revenue left to the government. Nevertheless, the government has promised that it will privatize telecommunications. A road maintenance board has been created, funded by a gasoline tax; to deal with Zambia’s deteriorated roads, although financial accountability has been problematic. Health facilities are mostly of poor quality. The government has attempted to rehabilitate the health-related infrastructure by constructing and refurbishing over 100 health centers countrywide in 2001. Educational facilities vary greatly in quality, and Zambia suffers from an acute shortage of teachers. While university enrollment increased by 30%, enrollment in basic education declined by 4.2%, leveling off at 1,627,902 students. The Ministry of Education claimed that there was only an acute increase of primary school staffing because of HIIV/AIDS, while a growth in high school level teaching was a victim of "brain drain" to other countries.

Political Environment Political Issues Affecting the Business Climate: The business community pays close attention to the progress of privatization and the status of balance of payments support. The latter is dependent on donor concerns about democracy and governance issues in Zambia. The privatization of ZCCM helped restore business confidence and revitalized activity in the mining sector. There is some antipathy in Zambia towards perceptions of foreign control of Zambia's resources and economy. Political System, Election Schedule: Until 1991 Zambia was constitutionally a one-party state ruled by the United National Independence Party (UNIP). In 1991, a popular movement pushed for an end to the one-party state and adoption of a multi-party democratic system. Multi-party elections were held in October 1991, and again in November 1996. The Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) won landslide victories in both elections. The electoral process preceding the November 1996 elections was flawed, prompting a boycott by UNIP. Several parties, including UNIP, participated in local government elections and parliamentary by-elections in 1998 and 1999. Early in 2001, supporters of then president Chiluba mounted a campaign to amend the constitution to enable Chiluba to seek a third term of office. Civil society, opposition parties, and many members of the ruling party exerted sufficient pressure on Chiluba to force him to back away from any attempt at a third term. The elections held on December 27th 2001 experienced numerous administrative problems. Opposition parties alleged that serious irregularities occurred. Nevertheless, MMD presidential candidate Levy Mwanawasa was declared the victor by a narrow margin, and was sworn into office on January 2, 2002. Three parties submitted petitions to the High Court, challenging the election results. Opposition parties won a majority of parliamentary seats. In July 2002, President levy Mwanawassa called a special meeting of Parliament at which he detailed corruption charges against former president Chiluba. On July 16, 2002, Parliament voted unanimously to lift Chilubaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immunity from prosecution, thus setting in motion a legal process to advance these corruption issues. The political system is a hybrid of the British and American systems. The one house, Parliament, has 150 seats. The head of government is an independently elected president who must draw most of his cabinet from elected members of parliament. Elections for both the President and Parliament occur simultaneously every five years. The President is limited to two five-year terms. Orientation of Major Political Parties: The MMD platform is for democracy, human rights, and free market economics. With some important deviance, the MMD has generally pursued these policies since 1991, although calls for a constitutional amendment for a third presidential term early in 2001 caused a split within the party. Following its 1991electoral losses, UNIP dropped its socialist orientation for a "social market" approach, which they define as "capitalism with a social conscience." There are several other opposition parties, many of which had broken away from the MMD. All favor market-oriented economies. Strongest amongst these is the United Party for National Development (UPND), which has shown strength in several recent elections. During the December 27, 2001 presidential elections, Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 237 MMD received 29% of total votes, while the UPND candidate received 27%. Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD), a coalition of expelled MMD members who opposed the third term constitutional amendment, is another important opposition party. Also influential in party politics are the Republican Party (RP), which was created by a founding member and former cabinet minister of the MMD, and Heritage Party, which was founded by a former VP of the MMD.

Marketing Products and Services Distribution and Sales: Distribution and sales of goods and services are mainly through the private sector. There are both formal and informal distribution channels, large and small, through which goods are sold to the consumer. Wholesale trade is concentrated in cities and large towns, with retail outlets and individual vendors operating in cities, towns, and remote areas throughout the country. Franchising: Franchise business arrangements in Zambia are based on British standard "Law of Contract." A Distributor/Agent type of franchising is most common in Zambia, while a Business-Format type of franchising is beginning to develop. There is increased interest in franchising in Zambia generated by publicity and exposure to international franchise trade events in the U.S. Financing remains a major obstacle to franchise business in Zambia. Direct Marketing: There are no restrictions on foreign firms directly marketing products in Zambia. Joint Ventures/Licensing: There is strong interest in the Zambian business community in joint ventures and licensing agreements. These arrangements are often expected to help overcome domestic shortages of capital, technology or expertise. Steps to Establishing an Office: The legal requirements for establishing an office in Zambia are relatively simple. A prospective company must register with the Registrar of Companies at the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry by submitting the company charter and a registration fee. This may be done by an individual, a law firm, or by a business consultant. The minimum nominal capital required to register a limited company is currently $5,000 plus a 2.5% registration fee. After submission of the company charter and payment of registration fees, a Certificate of Incorporation is generally issued within 24 hours. Foreign companies that plan to invest in Zambia should obtain an investment license from the Zambian Investment Center (ZIC) to take advantage of ZIC advocacy and services. The procedure is simple and licenses are approved or disapproved within 30 days. Licenses generally allow for up to five expatriate managerial/technical staff. The ZIC is proposing changes that would require that licenses be reviewed annually. Selling Factors/Techniques: Selling is normally done on a cash basis, due to scarce and expensive credit. Companies that can offer credit, or an extended payment schedule, have an edge even if their prices are higher. Cost, reliability, simplicity, and durability are also important factors in marketing products in Zambia. After sales service is an important factor for technical products. Advertising and Trade Promotion: Electronic Media: Zambia has one national television station and six community radio stations, three of which have a limited Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 238 audience. Television reaches roughly 10 percent of households. Radio coverage is broad and covers the country on both English and local language stations. The television and most powerful radio stations are run by: Zambia National Broadcasting Company (ZNBC) PO Box 50015, Lusaka, Zambia Tel: (260) 1-251-961; Fax: (260) 1-246-489 Radio Phoenix P/B E 702, Lusaka, Zambia Tel: (260) 1-222-403 Fax: (260) 1-221-655 Email: rphoenix@zamnet.zm Print media: There are two state-owned daily newspapers, the "Times of Zambia" and the "Zambia Daily Mail." The major independent daily is the " The Post." " The Zambia Daily Mail" and the "Times of Zambia" also publish business weeklies, the "Financial Mail" and "Financial Times," respectively. Two monthly business publications are the Zambia National Farmers Union’s "Zambian Farmer," and the Zambia Association of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ZACCI) "Profit Magazine." The two latter publications are strong voices for private sector business in Zambia. The following are contact addresses for the major print media: Price Competition: As Zambia’s economy has become more open, pricing has become more competitive. International and domestic transportation costs can be a considerable factor in selling goods. Credit is scarce and expensive, making it a major consideration in a purchasing decision. Sales Service/Customer Support: After sale service and customer support are important factors, particularly for technical products. In general, after sales service and support are not generally good, but are strongly prized by customers. Selling To The Government: The Government of Zambia purchases directly from suppliers for goods worth ZK 500,000 (USD 115) and below. Purchases exceeding ZK 500,000, including capital expenditures from external assistance, go through the National Tender Board. Protection from IPR Infringement: Trademark protection is limited. There are fines for revealing business proprietary information, but the fines are not large enough to penalize disclosure adequately. Copyright protection is limited and does not cover computer applications. Zambia’s patent laws conform to the requirements of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, of which Zambia is a signatory. It takes a minimum of 4 months to patent an item or process. Duplicative searches are not done, but patent awards may be appealed on grounds of infringement. Need for a Local Attorney: An attorney is not required to register and establish a company, but a local attorney familiar with Zambian law handles best many routine problems that may arise.

Leading Sectors for Exports and Investment Best Prospects for Non-Agricultural Goods and Services: Franchising in Zambia is beginning to develop and offers some good prospects. Best franchising prospects are printing, fast food, postal services, computer/office supplies, telecommunications, education, and business services.

Page 239 The computer market is limited, but steadily growing in Zambia. Many corporations are introducing computer applications in their operations to enhance efficiency and productivity. The introduction of internet services in 1995 is also spurring demand. There is a shortage of skilled repair facilities and software experts. Zambia has significant requirements for infrastructure rehabilitation. Sectors requiring extensive rehabilitation or new investment include the railway and road networks, hydroelectric power, mining, and telecommunications. Multilateral lending institutions and bilateral donors fund many of these rehabilitation projects. The manufacturing sector continues its trend of increasing output since 1996. In 2001 5.8% growth was achieved, up from 2.8% in 1999. Growth in the sector largely emanated from the food, beverages and tobacco sub-sector, which recorded strong growth in the output of processed foods. The government also offered some incentives to the sector aimed at stimulating growth. The other major sub-sectors that recorded growth were textiles and leather goods due to increased cotton yarn and lint production for export, especially following the increase in access to the South African markets. The continued implementation of economic reforms such as privatization and liberalization of trade and investment have helped increase efficiency and productivity in many sub-sectors. The suspension of duty on some imported industrial inputs and improvements made in the classification of some inputs and raw materials in the tariff structure provide impetus to performance in the sector. Manufacturing is dominated by relatively small-scale industries that concentrate on production for the local market. Manufacturing is concentrated in food, beverages, tobacco, fabricated metal products, and textiles (mostly yarn and gray cloth). The re-capitalization in the mining sector and the launch of the COMESA Free Trade Area are expected to increase demand for prefabricated metal products, food, and beverages. The clothing sector, although small, is growing. AGOA benefits have led to the privatization of a parastatal textile company, which is leading to resurgence in the field. Furthermore, other regional apparel producers have created a demand for African-produced textiles in order to qualify for AGOA benefits themselves. This has created an extraordinary opportunity for Zambiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s textile mills. Aging machinery and high energy, transport and telecommunications costs hamper production efficiency. Government manipulations of fuel markets through the Energy Regulation Board (ERB) and parastatal oil company and refinery have increased costs. Mining centers on copper and cobalt (cobalt is often found alongside copper). Zambia ranks among the world's top five copper nations in terms of reserves and refining capacity, but production dropped from an annual average of nearly 700,000 tons in the 1970s to less than 260,000 tons in recent years. The privatization of the mines has already begun to increase productivity and reverse the situation. The mining and quarrying sector rebounded in 2001, recording a growth of 14%, mainly due to increased production. Copper production increased from 256,884 metric tons in 2000 to 296,773 metric tons in 2001. However, the increase in metal production was dampened by low metal prices on the international market and disruptions in operations at a major mine. The prospects in mining are bright with both Zambian mineral production and global metal prices projected to rise.

Page 240 Zambia also produces gemstones such as emeralds, aquamarine, amethyst, garnet, tourmaline, and others. There is tremendous interest in developing Zambia’s gemstone industry. Zambia also has deposits of gold, silver, selenium, talc, limestone, coal, clay graphite, and silica. The potential to cut and polish marble, precious stones, gemstones and malachite for export is immense. There are plans to develop auction floors as part of a marketing strategy. During recent exploration for other minerals, small quantities of Col-tan were discovered in Zambia. While no direct efforts have been made to mine this valuable mineral itself, great potential exists. The abundance of land, labor, and water resources in a climate and topography favorable to a wide variety of crops provides Zambia with good conditions for agricultural production. One-third (25 million hectares) of Zambia's land area is suitable for agricultural production: sixteen million hectares for animal grazing and 9 million hectares for cultivation. However, only about 2.9 million hectares are currently used for production, mostly in Southern, Central and Eastern provinces. Production is affected by the levels of rainfall and the distribution of inputs, but potential for irrigation and improved input distribution channels exist. Zambia's major agricultural products include maize, wheat, millet, cotton, tobacco, coffee, soya beans, groundnuts, sugar cane, sunflower, paddy rice, flowers and horticultural products, sorghum, cassava and paprika. After an excellent year in 2000, coffee exports decreased to levels similar to 1999 levels in 2001. Coffee export earnings dropped from $9.2 million in 2000 to $5.8 million in 2001. The significant decrease was due to two factors. First, a disease in the important Mpongwe region affected production; production there decreased from 5,668 metric tones to 4,389 metric tons over the year. Secondly, the coffee price decreased in the international markets. Nevertheless, 2002 appears promising. Production should increase to 6,000 tons and then up to 8,000 tons by 2003. The tobacco industry recorded an increase in export growth from $13.2 million to $15 million in 2001. The figure includes tobacco from the eastern region, which is sold to Malawi for tax purposes and, therefore, is not recorded in Zambia’s official tobacco export revenues. While Zambia has only a 5% tax on tobacco, its neighbor, Malawi pays up to 14%, thus providing an incentive for buyers across the border. Looking ahead, there is growth potential for tobacco production in the Mungwi and Lumumba regions spurred on by a spillover of Zimbabwean commercial farmers seeking opportunities in Zambia. Total Non-Traditional Export earnings in 2000 were approx. US$297 million while total export earnings were approx. US$ 871 million. Both the horticulture and floriculture markets are expected to grow twofold by 2005. The latter is projected to earn $85 million in 2005 in export revenues compared to $43 million achieved in1999. Small-scale farmers hold most of the national livestock, mainly in the Southern and Western Provinces. The government expects cattle numbers to rise to the 1990 levels of well over 2.7 million cattle by the year 2005 following huge losses due to disease. The government intervenes in the fishing sector by issuing licenses in an effort to control over-exploitation of fish stocks. The catch rose from 40,000 metric tons in 1982 to 70,000 metric tons in 1994. Half of Zambia’s land area is covered by forest with a few commercially exploitable species;

Page 241 indigenous forests are sources of sawn timber, poles, mining timber, and wood for fuel. The performance of the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector was unsatisfactory in 2001. The sector declined by 2.6% in 2001, compared to a growth rate of 1.8% in 2000. Additionally, its share of GDP fell to 15.9% from 17.2%. The drop was mainly due to the negative performance in the agriculture and fishing sub-sectors. Maize production declined due to droughts, excessive rainfall in certain areas of the country, and late deliveries of inputs. Best Prospects for Agricultural Products: Agricultural imports are normally about 10 per cent of total imports. The major imports are farm implements, fertilizers, packaging, maize, rice, live animals for breeding, and agricultural chemicals such as pesticides. Agricultural exports include fresh coffee, cut flowers, sugar, tobacco, groundnuts and fresh vegetables. The largest share of investment in the sector is from abroad, mainly from South Africa, although several US investors are engaged. Government suspended import duty on agricultural machinery and equipment for two years with effect from 1999. Tariffs on imports of horticultural inputs and veterinary medicines were also suspended. Zambia generally imports wheat, usually from South Africa, Canada and the United States. Corn (maize) is also imported in years when drought affects Zambia. Total imports totaled $1,215 million in 2001, an immense increase from $978 million, severely affecting the current account. Significant Investment Opportunities: Approximately 90% of Zambia's parastatal companies were privatized by the end of 2000. There are still a number of opportunities for purchasing existing parastatal companies or assets in the mining, agricultural, tourism/hotel, insurance, telecommunications and energy sectors. Major U.S. companies have purchased assets in the mining industry and metal fabrication. Privatization and Private Sector Reform for 2001: Zambiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objective in 2001 was to expedite the privatization of the remaining state-owned enterprises. In this regard, a total of seven enterprises were privatized, bringing the cumulative total of privatized units to 254 as of end-October 2001 with 2 companies under negotiation and 20 under preparation. The most significant privatization deals from 2001 were those involving the sale of 42% government shares in Kagem Mining Limited to Hagura, government reduction of 25% shares in Dunlop Zambia Limited, and reduction of government share holding in Lubland Zambia limited to 38%. The following lists the privatization activities undertaken in 2001 and a selection of companies remaining to be privatized: Zambia Railways (ZR) The company was advertised for concessioning and bids closed on December 7th 2001. National Airport Corporation (NAC) Manages Lusaka International Airport, Ndola, Livingstone, and Mfuwe Airports. NAC's airports in Livingstone, Ndola and Mfuwe were approved for leasing. Zambia State Insurance Corporation (ZSIC) Zambia's premier insurance company engaged in providing all types of insurance - both life and non life. ZSIC is undergoing a restructuring program and will be available for privatization once restructuring is completed.

Kafue Textiles of Zambia (KTZ) A large and versatile textile manufacturing complex. Invitation of offers for immediate sale is outstanding. As of end-2001, the company was still available for sale. Mukuba Hotel A privately owned hotel in the Copperbelt of Zambia, with a minority government shareholding. Preparation for the sale of 24% GRZ shares to the Zambia International Trade Fair is underway. Lundazi Castle The only castle hotel in the country built between 1949 and 1952 and is now a government monument. On October 4th 2001, a lease was transacted on behalf of the national heritage Conservation Commission (NHCC). Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation (ZESCO) Cabinet approved the method of privatization and directed the Zambia Privatization Agency to proceed with the selection of consultants to assist in the concessioning process. Indeni Petroleum Refinery The Zambian government approved the sale of 50% GRZ shares in Indeni and approved the ZPA proposal on concessioning the Tazama pipeline and Ndola storage facilities. Zambia Postal Services Corporation (ZAMPOST) The largest provider of traditional and modern postal services in Zambia. A study is soon to be commissioned on options for private sector involvement. Zambia National Commercial Bank (ZNCB) The ZPA advertised the sale of 35% of the government’s interest in ZNCB with management control to the buyer. The response was limited by the uncertainty regarding the status of the balance sheet. Therefore, the cabinet approved the sale of at least 51% of the government’s shares. Zambia Telecommunications Company (ZAMTEL) Zambia's national telecommunications services provider. Cabinet approved the sale of 20% of the government’s shares.

Trade Regulations and Standards Trade Barriers: A small number of goods may be imported into Zambia dutyfree. These include medicines, pharmaceuticals, veterinary and medical equipment, chemicals in bulk, fertilizers, seeds etc. Most goods fall into one of three tariff bands: 5% selected raw materials, and capital equipment); 15% (intermediate goods); or 25% (final products). Duty on productive machinery for agriculture and mining is zero percent. Selected items attract alternative specific duty rates that are protective taxes. These apply on vegetable cooking oils and soaps. Customs Valuation: Customs valuation is ad valorem on a CIF basis. Import Licenses: No import licenses are required for general importation into Zambia. However, certification must be obtained for the following imports: meat/poultry (Veterinary Department); plants (Mount Makulu Research Station); food & drugs (Ministry of Health); firearms and ammunition (Zambia Police). Ivory imports are banned. Export Controls: Export licenses are required for fertilizer, firearms, live animals, historical artifacts, and wildlife trophies. Import/Export Documentation: Standard customs declarations are required for imports. Banks are responsible for documenting payment. Temporary Entry: These are grouped under two categories that are treated differently: Goods for tourist/visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own use (not applicable to Zambian residents): Tourist/Visitors declare their goods to Customs at point of entry and declare and produce them for inspection at the point of departure. Generally a list describing the goods, prepared in duplicate well in advance would hasten clearance on entry. In case of a tourist/visitor with a motor vehicle not covered by a valid carnet, Customs will issue a customs import permit (CIP), other goods may be declared thereon.

Page 244 Goods other than those for tourist/visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own use: These require the permission of the Commissioner of Customs and Excise. Thus, prior to importation, persons intending to such goods should seek authority in writing, detailing the goods, value, purposes for importing and duration of stay in Zambia. The Commissioner will in turn indicate the conditions for importation, which may include a refundable monetary security pending exportation after expiry. Labeling/Marking Requirements: There are no special labeling or marking requirements. Prohibited Imports: There are no prohibited imports of otherwise legal goods. The importation of the following is expressly prohibited: false and counterfeit coins or bank notes; indecent, obscene or objectionable material; goods manufactured or produced wholly or in part by prison labor; pirated and counterfeit goods; and any goods prohibited under any other law in Zambia such as the Drug and Psychotropic Act, the Wildlife Act, and the National Heritage Act for Historical Artifacts. Standards: Standards legislation is outdated and not enforced. The Zambian Bureau of Standards intends to reevaluate and update existing legislation. Several companies have undertaken to become certified to ISO 9000. Free Trade Zones/Warehouses: In 2002, the government amended the Customs and Excise Act in order to accommodate the tax free zones, and passed the Export Processing Zones Act to provide incentives for investors in export processing zones. Special Import Provisions: N/A Membership In Free Trade Arrangements: Zambia belongs to the 20 member Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), which allows for preferential tariff duty rates which, when applied to the three band tariff rates, translate to 2% (selected raw materials and capital equipment); 10% (intermediate goods); 15%(final products). In October 2000, COMESA launched a Free Trade Area (FTA), which has nine member countries, including Zambia. The FTA is working to increase intra-COMESA trade and to make the region more competitive globally. Zambia also belongs to the 14-member Southern African Development Community (SADC). SADC has proposed a free trade area before 2004.

Investment Climate Over the last decade Zambia has significantly opened up its doors to foreign investment, reduced government intervention in commercial activities, eliminated market distortions, and has lead regional trade to become one of the most liberal economies in Africa. Zambia has already privatized over 258 enterprises and continues to set an example for other African countries. Privatization will advance following the completion of the large mining sector and has shifted from small enterprises to large utilities and state-owned enterprises, namely the electricity, telephone, railway, and oil companies. Macro-economic performance is showing signs of improvement as indicated by a continual increase in GDP, a 3-year increase in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth rate, and a decline in inflation. Nonetheless, investment in Zambia should be backed by a guaranteed Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 245 high rate of return. High transaction costs, poor infrastructure and political risk create an uncertain business and commercial environment. One should take all the necessary steps in assessing the risk involved in any investment or businessrelated activity. For the past thirty years, copper production had been declining steadily from a 1973 high of 700,000 tons to a 2000 low of 226,192. The decline was the result of poor management and the lack of investment into the copper mines. Government subsidies of Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM) divested GRZ funds from other sectors and discouraged investment. With the privatization of the mines in April 2000, the downward trend in production and exports was reversed, due to efficient management and new investment. As a result copper production increased by 27% to 296,000 tons in 2001. The investment climate in the mining industry was stunned in the beginning of 2002 when AAC, the major shareholder in Zambia’s largest mine, Konkola Copper Mines (KCM), announced that it would not proceed with further investments in KCM. Other mining operations have also stated that their future in the Copperbelt is uncertain due to the decreasing trend in international copper prices. The privatization of parastatals has also meant that creditors are more willing to follow through with debt forgiveness proposals. Debt cancellation is continuing under the terms of the 1999 agreement with the Paris Club of creditors in which 67% of the $1 billion debt affected (incurred before 1983) is to be written off. In May of 2002, the Executive Board of the international Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that it had completed the fourth review of Zambia’s performance under an economic program supported by the Poverty reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF). As a result, the IMF agreed to increase the amount of potential access to IMF resources over the remainder of the program. Zambia will be able to draw up to $64 million from the ability immediately and the potential to access $159.8 million in the course of subsequent program reviews scheduled into February 2003. This was originally conditional on the privatization of seven more parastatals (many of which are in the negotiation stage of being privatized): Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation (ZESCO), Zambia Telecommunications Corporation (ZAMTEL), Zambia Railways, Zambia National Commercial Bank (ZNCB), Indeni Oil Refinery, and Zambia National Oil Company (ZNOC). IMF disbursements resumed following the privatization of ZCCM, and Zambia’s total external debt was recorded at $7.2 billion for 2001. In July 2002, a total of $1.3 billion in pledges were granted at the thirteenth Consultative Group meeting held in Livingstone. It was the largest amount ever pledged in a Consultative Group meeting in Zambia. During the year-end 2001 through 2002, the Zambian Kwacha remained relatively stable after dramatically depreciating in 2000 against major international currencies, particularly the US Dollar. Reasons for the drop in 2000 were the sharp rise in international oil prices, the appreciation of the US Dollar, delays in disbursements of balance of payment assistance, and growth in the money supply. These conditions not only put pressure on the exchange rate but ultimately inflation. When the Kwacha continued to decline in January 2001, the Minister of Finance & Economic Development (MoFED), now the Ministry of Finance and

Page 246 National Planning, announced measures to stabilize the foreign exchange market, and by mid-February the Kwacha had appreciated significantly. While these measures had positive effects for local consumers of imported goods, they had adverse implications for the business community, particularly to exporters in the non-traditional sector. MoFED’s support for the Kwacha required that the Bank of Zambia (BoZ) offload nearly 50% of its foreign exchange reserves. This held the Kwacha at an unsustainably high value for almost ten weeks before it began to depreciate again. Reflecting financial policies, the Kwacha appreciated against the U.S. dollar by about 8 percent in the local currency terms in 2001, or about 23 percent in real terms, thereby reversing most of the real depreciation that took place in the fourth quarter of 2000. In November 2001, the Kwacha came under pressure from uncertainties in the lead-up to the national elections and seasonal factors. In response, The BoZ tightened monetary policy and the Kwacha remained broadly stable for the rest of the year. As of July 2002, it was trading at 4,435.00 per $1. The political and economic conditions in neighboring Zimbabwe have had generally negative effects on the Zambian economy since virtually all road and rail transport is routed through Zimbabwe. However, due to the limited amount of capital transactions between the two countries, fund markets should emerge unscathed. Since many foreign investors do not differentiate between Zambia and Zimbabwe, the political and economic quarrels in Zimbabwe hurt Zambia’s tourism industry. Victoria Falls is perceived internationally as a Zimbabwean site, although shared by both countries. Nevertheless, the tourism industry in 2001 generated $116.9 million up from $92.5 million in 2000. Last year, Zambia received 591,942 tourists, a dramatic improvement from 457,419 visitors in 2000. With improved marketing and infrastructure, tourism could increase further in 2002. This effort received a boost from the total solar eclipse of June 2001, for which an estimated 12,000 tourists visited Zambia. Agriculture is one sector that may benefit from the problems in Zimbabwe. The Zambia National Farmer’s Union (ZNFU) has reported that numerous Zimbabwean commercial farmers have leased land in Zambia, and many more have inquired about shifting their base in the wake of displacement in Zimbabwe. In Zambia, where land possession is not an emotive issue, large tracts of arable soil remain virgin. In addition, Zambia’s investor-friendly laws allow the government to offer land to investors who are committed to develop the country’s long-neglected agriculture industry (see Investment Possibilities). Financial analysts that specialize in the Sub-Saharan region rate Zambia among the top seven destinations for foreign direct investment. Since 1995, it has attracted an average of $160 million a year in FDI, and this figure is expected to reach $300 million a year with the sale of the copper mines. In 2001, a total of $110.2 million in investment pledges were made compared to $101 million in 2000. However, these figures understate actual investment because they only reflect those enterprises that have registered in Zambia. The Zambia Investment Center (ZIC) is currently pushing for legislation making it an offence for any foreign national who is not registered with ZIC to operate a business without an investment certificate. It was not required in the original act. Out of the $110.2 million pledged in 2001, foreign investors pledged a total of $107.3 million, while local investors pledged the remainder. The investment

Page 247 pledges made in 2001 were expected to generate a total of 4,586 jobs. The ZIC projects that investment pledges for 2002 will total $200 million.

Trade and Project Financing The Banking System: Zambia has a commercial banking sector composed of private international banks, private domestic banks, and parastatal banks. It is made up of twelve banks, six of which are foreign owned subsidiaries, four owned by local investors, one government owned and another a joint venture between the Zambian and Indian governments. Parliament is also creating banks to service sectors of the economy, which traditionally do not benefit from the commercial banks. It is a requirement for all banks operating in Zambia to incorporate locally. As a result, there are no branches of foreign banks or U.S. financial/lending institutions operating locally as such. However, Citibank Zambia Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citicorp NY in the United States and the Equator Bank is providing corporate banking in Zambia, under the ownership of Equator Bank USA. The banking sector is supervised by the central bank, Bank of Zambia, which reports to the Ministry of Finance and National Planning. The sector is governed by the Banking and Financial Services Act of 1994 and accompanying regulations of the Laws of Zambia. The BoZ has proposed amendments to this Act to strengthen its supervisory powers and make the Act applicable to nonbank financial institutions. Industry observers generally credit the BoZ with making large strides in improving bank oversight over the past several years. Parliament passed legislation for deposit insurance systems and for controlling money-laundering activities. Foreign Exchange Controls Affecting Trade: Following a repeal of the Exchange Control Act in February 1994, Zambia established full convertibility in both the current and capital accounts. There are no controls on the movement of capital in or out of Zambia. Bank accounts may be held in local or foreign currency, and funds are easily transferred out of the country or held offshore. Amounts over 5,000 U.S. dollars, carried in or out in cash or travelers checks, must be declared. In March 1999, the Central Bank BoZ instructed commercial banks and Bureau de Change operators to restrict issuance of over-the-counter cash to $5,000 per transaction. In mid-January 2001, as a result of foreign exchange troubles, the Ministry of Finance and National Planning announced the following measures to stabilize the exchange market:

•

a 75% domestic receipt of all export proceeds within 180 days from date of export

•

all external payments over $ 5,000 must be channeled through commercial banks

•

only foreign exchange dealers authorized by the BoZ would be allowed to price foreign currency and receive, buy or sell foreign exchange

•

authorized foreign exchange dealers were required to limit margins between buying and selling rates for no more than 2%

Page 248 •

charge and settle all domestic transactions in Kwacha, except for licensed tourist enterprises authorized by BoZ

•

a mandatory BoZ auctioning window was introduced

•

foreign currency sales were limited

•

bank reserve rates were raised dramatically.

These measures severely over inflated the value of the Kwacha during the first quarter of 2001 and forced the BoZ to offload approximately $25 million, almost half of its foreign exchange reserves. General Financing Availability and Terms of Payment: There is a shortage of domestic financing except for export-oriented production. Interests rates rose dramatically in 2000, and continue to increase through 2002, and therefore are still too high, making medium or long-term borrowing unfeasible. The increase in reserve rates noted above caused interest rates to increase accordingly, which in turn forced the government to lower the reserve rates, reversing its initial decision after only four weeks. Short-term borrowing is available, but expensive. Many businesses either self finance or seek finance outside the country, in hard currency. Financing Exports and Insurance for Exporters: The use of credit is the most common method of payment used for Zambian imports. In general, companies find it very difficult to finance their own imports and seek credit arrangements, but businesses considering offering their exports on credit should make a very careful check of the bona fides and finances of Zambian companies before doing so. Delinquent payments to suppliers are a common problem in Zambia. The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), an U.S. government agency offers project financing, political risk insurance, and investor services in Zambia. The U.S. Export-Import Bank (ExImBank) is not currently open in Zambia. Domestic finance for imports is available from commercial banks only on a short-term basis. Project Financing Available: The availability of project financing, particularly for export-oriented projects, is improving. Besides bilateral and multilateral government agencies, commercial banks and venture capital funds are playing an increasing role. Both the U.S. and European Union (EU) have established enterprise development funds which encompass Zambia. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC) both offer financial assistance for projects in Zambia. Almost all commercial banks have correspondent U.S. banking arrangements.

Travel Business Customs Zambia inherited the British legal system at independence in 1964. Business law is based mostly on British law, and business customs are similar to those in the U.S. and Europe.

Travel Advisory ad Visas Visas are required for U.S. passport holders, and it is highly recommended that travelers obtain visas in advance of arrival. Multiple entry visas may be obtained from the Embassy of the Republic of Zambia, 2419 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington DC 20008, telephone (202) 265-9717. A multiple entry visa costs forty U.S. dollars, and a single entry visa costs twenty-five dollars. Zambian Embassy officials generally require a letter of invitation from the individual or entity in Zambia with whom one intends to do business. Tourist visas may be obtained at the border at the airport upon arrival. Crime is a problem in Zambia. Mugging is relatively rare, but car thefts and house and car break-ins are not uncommon. The Copperbelt towns along the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) have seen periodic surges in crime due to problems across the border. There are no internal travel restrictions in Zambia, although areas around military bases may have restricted access. Police/traffic checkpoints do occur, fining vehicles deemed not to meet safety regulations. Many observers see this as corruption problem.

Medical Medical facilities are generally limited. Doctors and hospitals often require immediate cash payment for health care services. Medical insurance covering air ambulance evacuation is highly advisable

Business Infrastructure English is the official language and the language of government and business in Zambia.

Transportation There are weekly or more frequent airline connections to Lusaka from London, Dar es Salaam, Harare, Johannesburg, Lilongwe, Nairobi and among other cities. Domestic flights are available between Lusaka, Ndola or Kitwe (Copperbelt Province), Mfuwe and Chipata (Eastern Province), Livingstone (Southern Province), and Kasama (Northern Province). There are also five flights per week from Johannesburg to Ndola and four per week from Johannesburg to Livingstone. The railway system is rundown and undergoing restructuring. Passenger train travel is unreliable and uncomfortable. There are numerous private city bus lines, but they are overcrowded and often unsafe. There are well-maintained and affordable luxury coach services on inter-city runs, including Lusaka-Harare, Lusaka-Johannesburg, and Livingstone -Lusaka- Copperbelt routes. Road transportation is the preferred means of transport for many goods. The road network is uneven: quite good on some stretches and abysmal on others. Zambia is landlocked and goods come in and out via air freight, or four ports: Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Beira, Zambia; Durban, South Africa; and Walvis Bay, Namibia.

Telecommunications Telecommunications are generally adequate, but often unreliable, especially during the rainy season. Cellular service is currently offered in Lusaka, Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

AT&Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s USA Direct service is available, as well as similar services to Britain, Sweden and some other European countries. A number of callback service companies are operating, although their legality is disputed by the parastatal telephone company, ZAMTEL. Fax machines are widely used in Zambia. The Internet is a popular communications tool.

Housing Good quality housing is available, but generally in short supply, particularly for rental housing.

Communicable Diseases Malaria is endemic in Zambia; cases occur in Lusaka, as well. Prophylaxis is strongly recommended. HIV prevalence is very high in Zambia, with estimated rates of 30-40% of the adult population in urban areas. Water should always be treated if bottled water is not available.

Fresh Foods Fresh meat, dairy products, fruits and vegetables are readily available and of high quality. Most processed food is imported from South Africa and is available in urban supermarkets, although it may be expensive. Lusaka has a number of good restaurants.

Trade Schedule Zambia holds three annual trade fairs. The main trade event is the Zambia International Trade Fair, held the first week of July in the Copperbelt city of Ndola. This is followed by the Zambia Agriculture and Commercial Show held in Lusaka, the first week of August. The Zambia Mining, Agriculture, and Commercial Show has become increasingly important due to the privatization of the copper mining parastatals and is the premier event for any mining-related business. It is held in the Copperbelt town of Kitwe during the first week of June.

Spa Health and Wellness Tourism Study Definition Over the past decade there have been a number of definitions put forward to define health and wellness tourism. Gail Andestad, author of Linking Pleasure with Health: The Development of Health Resorts as Venues for Health Promotion”, makes reference some subtle variances in defining health resorts in both a European and North American context.

“A health resort [spa] is a place where people engage in activities intended to improve or maintain their health. The concept of a health resort…describes a place and a product; it is a place that provides rest and recreation facilities for overnight guests. The product consists of goods and services aimed at the maintenance or improvement of a guest’s physical or mental health.” The true meaning of the word spa is ’mineral waters known for the curative powers’. Today in European health resorts, water treatments are frequently administered usually under the supervision of a specifically trained spa doctor as part of a spa program. In North America the term health spa, is commonly referred to destination health resort where water may or may not play an important part in their treatment program. The definition put forward by renowned health and wellness specialist and resort spa developer, Mel Zuckerman of Canyon Ranch in Arizona, arguably best represents the accepted definition of health and wellness tourism.

“Today’s total spa-places providing programs devoted to an individual’s health and fitness, re designed to make the guest feel significantly better than when they arrived. The combination of fun, exercise, a healthy and Balanced diet, pampering relaxation, and education on managing stress offers magnificent chance for renewal. A spa is a comfortable environment in which to learn how to use the tools of life enhancement and get motivated to back into the real world and practice what they have learned.” For Mabwe Safari Lodge, in defining the scope and parameters for it’s focus on spa health and wellness tourism for product innovation and enhancement purposes, it is recommended that we target those stakeholders of the spa industry segment who conform to these established guidelines:

•

Spa facilities who offer health and wellness programs administered by professionally trained medical personnel;

•

Spa facilities with fixed accommodations or accommodations offered through a cooperative agreement with a stand-alone accommodation facility.

•

Spa facilities for whom traceable tourism visitation accounts for a minimum of 10% of its gross revenues.

Health and Wellness Health tourism and wellness tourism are very different products. A client with various medical conditions would travel to experience therapies that will help to make him well - or to improve his health. A person who seeks a wellness travel experience, is generally healthy to start with, and seeks therapies to maintain his or her well being. It may sound like hairsplitting, but they really are very different needs and are addressed in different ways. Based on research conducted for Spas Ontario in 2003, wellness is derived from both human physical and mental conditions. Elements include: 1) Exercise 2) A healthy diet 3) Use of vitamins/supplements 4) Following a prescribed personal program 5) Fulfilling emotional, mental or spiritual needs. Today’s health and wellness consumer seeks to look and feel better; to lose weight: to slow the effects of aging; to relieve pain or discomfort; to manage stress; or to partake in the use of natural supplements like vitamins and minerals improve their health. Today’s health and wellness programs respond to the growing consumer demands for fitness level improvement; for healthy lifestyle education; for nutrition counseling; for healing; for preventative medicine; for solving personal problems like stress or depression; for holistic, naturopathic, alternative or eastern medicinal practices/therapies. Ultimately, as echoed in Mel Zuckerman’s definition of health and wellness, it is through professionally delivered health and wellness programs that people learn to be happy in life, find and maintain a sense or attitude of well-being or find personal fulfillment, meaning and purpose in life. Combining the consumer’s quest for health and wellness with travel, leisure, and fun (products of the travel industry) is, simply stated, spa health and wellness tourism. Economic Planning Group, A Business Plan for Spas Ontario: 2004-2008, [2003]

Sector Profile The spa industry segment is regarded as the leading player in health and wellness tourism in North America. In searching for health and wellness travel experiences, travelers can find structured and professionally delivered programs at several kinds of spa venues. Around the world, spa facilities fall within several different categories. The International Spa Association has defined seven spa facility types, each in it’s own right technically capable of delivering health and wellness programming.

Page 257 1. CLUB SPA: A facility whose primary purpose is fitness and which offers a variety of professionally administered spa services on a day use basis. 2. CRUISE SHIP SPA: A spa within a cruise ship providing professionally administered spa services, fitness and wellness components and spa cuisine menu choices. 3. DAY SPA: A spa offering professionally administered spa services to clients on a day use basis. By far and away, this category of spa is the most prolific both in Canada and the USA. 4. DESTINATION SPA: A spa whose sole purpose is to provide guests with lifestyle choices improvement and health enhancement through professionally administered spa services, physical fitness, educational programming and on-site accommodations. Spa cuisine is served exclusively. 5. MEDICAL SPA: A spa whose primary purpose is to provide comprehensive medical and wellness care in an environment, which integrates spa services, as well as conventional and complementary therapies and treatments. It is predicted that this spa category will realize strong growth in the next few years as more consumers seek holistic medicinal treatments and therapies. 6. MINERAL SPRINGS SPA: A spa offering an on-site natural mineral, thermal, or seawater, which is used in professionally administered hydrotherapy treatments. This category typifies the European spa product offering focusing on health and wellness. 7. RESORT/HOTEL SPA: A spa within a resort or hotel providing professionally administered spa services, fitness and wellness components and spa cuisine menu choices. This category represents the second largest group of spa facilities in North America. The majority has been and is being developed where the spa is a profitable amenity added to traditional resort vacation opportunities. Consumer trends indicate that spas facilities in a resort setting will become the deciding factor in a resort vacation rather than just a resort amenity.

Destination spas and medical spas are spa categories most widely associated with health and wellness programs. These types of facilities offer traditional spa services [beauty and pampering], traditional and/or non-traditional medical services, fitness programs and resort amenities. A growing number are offering European style services in combination with Aboriginal and Asian treatments. Resorts and hotels are joining the health spa development craze albeit only some resorts are moving into the scope of services currently offered by destination spas. Likewise, a growing number of day spas are adding and health and wellness programming options. In summary, many spa facilities offer a prime year-round vacation experience. They cater to young and old alike â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those consumers who seek a pleasant and Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C.

Data taken from: 1) Canadian Spa Association, Research of the Canadian Spa Industry, Mary H. Tabacchi, 2003; 2) International SPA Association, The International SPA Association’s 2002 and 2004 Spa Industry Studies, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, 2002/2004; 3) The American Spa-Goer Survey, Yesawich, Pepperdine & Brown, 1999.

Key Consumer Trends ISPA’s 2002 Spa Industry Study noted several key consumer trends to watch for: 1. Consumers envision the spa experience as a requisite to staying healthy and looking good. This is a change from the previous mindset, which suggested that spas were all about pampering. The spa goer is more knowledgeable about what she/he is seeking and is demanding better quality and consistency in spa products and services they receive. Good service and a good treatment are no longer enough. The consumer expects a stress- free environment complete with spa treatment programs that cater to improved well-being. 2. Spas are expected to become major vacation activity and that spa vacations will enjoy the same profile and recognition as ski or golf vacations. 3. Balancing work and leisure responsibilities, consumers are seeking flexibility in booking spa vacations [shorter but more frequent visits]. 4. Consumers want simplicity in their spa experiences, including a trend suggesting getting back to the basics. There is a growing interest in services for couples particularly massage and hydrotherapy. 5. The Eastern/Asian wellness programs continue to be very strong within the industry segment. Yoga, pilates, reiki, ayurveda and Thai massage continue to be popular among Western consumers. There also general agreement that a blending of the European and North American spa models will appear. 1. Strong growth is predicted in the medical spa product line in the future. The concept of an ‘integrated wellness centre” is becoming more popular. In this case traditional spas will be adding non-traditional medical treatments to their programming and medical clinics will add spa services. Medical type products such as laser treatments, Botox, and medical acupuncture are featured. Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved © Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 260 Following these ongoing trends, Spa Finder 7, (Hotel Marketing NewsWeekly, February 2004) which is the largest travel wholesaler of spa vacations in the world and interacts with the largest audience of spa consumers, notes these consumer trends in 2004: 1. Spas are becoming more and more relevant to everyday Americans, as more and more people turn to spas to improve their looks and their well-being. 2. Medical spas will provide the prescription for health and wellness. Cosmetic treatments were the rage in 2003, but in 2004, baby boomers will use medical spas for truly medical purposes – namely preventative health treatments and regimens, nutrition and fitness, and health and wellness education. 3. Spa experience will become more mainstream with the corporate world. Mixing business with ‘spa’ pleasure entails the businesses will engage the use of spas to build relationships, motivate employees, and manage employee health. Innovative businesses, including insurance providers, will underwrite regular spa visit is to promote employee health and productivity and to lower medical costs. (Interestingly, the American Academy of Family Physicians estimates that 60% of all problems brought to physicians is stress- related. US corporations lose approximately $150 billion each year to stressrelated disorders.) 4. The “Destination Day Spa” will become a new spa facility category. Moving beyond the typical day experience, destination day spas offer a holistic mind/body/spirit experience similar to experiences normally associated with destination spas, minus accommodations. One-day mini retreats will include education programs, fitness programs, and healthy meals, in addition to spa/beauty treatments. 5. The spa experience will become more affordable and inclusive of mainstream America, thanks to the continued explosion of affordable spas geared to middle income earners seeking professional treatments and wellness programs. 6. International spa tours will replace international spa treatments. Rather than seeking specific treatments from specific facilities, the international traveller will seek to sample a variety of spa experiences within the same destination. 7. Spa cuisine will break out of the spa and into America’s dining rooms, thanks to popular spa cuisine cookbooks and recipes. High-end spas will enlist celebrity chefs, expand menus, employ innovative branded diet programs, and accommodate special diets. 8. Spas will become the primary consideration for many travellers. In recent years the fastest growing segment of the hospitality industry was hotels with spas. Indications are that spas with hotels will become an even bigger factor in consumer travelling decisions. Rather than being an ‘amenity’ offered at hotels or resorts, spas will be the deciding factor or the primary draw.

Page 261 9. Spas will increasingly cater to pets; offer kennels and pet treatments and programs. 10. Spas will continue to attract men and offer male-focused activities like golf, outdoor adventure, male cosmetic programs, and highoctane fitness programs. Men will use spas in record numbers and more spa facilities across the spectrum will offer equal facilities for men and women. 11. A strong family orientation will prevail. Teenage girls used spas in record numbers in 2003 for beauty treatments and the glamour of a luxurious spa experience. It is predicted that spas will cater to even younger visitors including boys. These young spa-goers will come with their families seeking health and wellness programs. Spas will cater to them by offering more family-oriented activities, spas-for-kids, and or kids-only spa programs. All of the research and analysis points to a favourable business case for supporting spa health and wellness tourism as a product cluster at Mabwe Safari Lodge.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Study Finds Growing Awareness of Luxury Fractional Ownership

Almost one-half of affluent US. households are familiar with fractional ownership and one-sixth may purchase within five years NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) (PRIMEZONE) -- As a growing segment of the broader vacation home sector, fractional ownership has achieved an initial base of awareness in the U.S. according to the Measuring Luxury Fractional Ownership Awareness study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers on behalf of The Ritz-Carlton Club, Interval International, and Starwood Vacation Ownership, Inc. The study reveals almost half of all affluent U.S. households (41%) have heard of fractional ownership, and one-sixth of affluent households indicate they may consider purchasing at a fractional ownership resort within the next five years. "Fractional ownership is indisputably growing in popularity as the vacation home market continues to evolve," said Scott D. Berman, Principal, Hospitality & Leisure Practice, PricewaterhouseCoopers. "Despite the increase in product awareness, there are many U.S. households with means who are still not familiar with fractional ownership and its lifestyle attributes, creating demand-side opportunities where fractional ownership is suitable." According to the study, among potential fractional ownership buyers, the most important factors in considering a fractional ownership purchase relative to other types of resort real estate include access to a highly-desirable location, residential features, and the overall ease of the fractional ownership experience, such as pre-arrival preparations and freedom from maintenance responsibilities. Additionally, possessing a deed in their fractional ownership purchase was an important factor among those respondents.

When choosing a location for a second home or fractional ownership purchase, broad destination characteristics are more important than any particular activity. Characteristics consistently receiving ratings with the highest level of importance were natural or scenic beauty (78%), ease in getting around once at the destination (69%), close proximity to water (64%), and the cost of real estate (59%). Additionally, the study found potential fractional ownership buyers are more than twice as likely to purchase fractional ownership at a resort managed by a luxury hotel company (68%) than an independent or boutique resort (32%). Traveling to a mix of vacation destinations is widely preferred by high-income individuals (73%). This is consistent with the fractional ownership model, which frequently permits owners to travel to their home resort as well as other fractional ownership resorts in a club portfolio. Only seven percent prefer to travel to the same destination, while one in five prefer to travel to new destinations for their vacation experience. The study findings also highlight the resiliency of the luxury market real estate buyer. Only one in seven respondents indicated that recent trends in the real estate market have caused them to be more cautious about purchasing a second Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C.

Measuring Luxury Fractional Ownership Awareness was conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers on behalf of The Ritz-Carlton Club, Interval International, and Starwood Vacation Ownership, Inc. The online survey was conducted by Synovate. The purpose of the research was to gauge the awareness of fractional ownership among affluent households, and understand the preferences of potential fractional ownership customers. Synovate distributed the online survey to a random sample of 2,891 high-income American households selected from Synovate's Online Consumer Opinion Panel, made up of over one million American households. A total of 897 individuals responded to the survey. The margin of error is plus or minus three to four percent for most questions, and plus or minus nine percent for the question related to the preference to purchase at a resort managed by a luxury hotel brand company, which had a smaller response base. The response base consisted of individuals with an annual household income of $200,000 or more, and 55.0 percent of respondents reported an annual household income in excess of $250,000. According to Woods & Poole, an economic research firm, 2.5 percent of U.S. households had an income of greater than $200,000 in 2000. The average age of the respondents was 50 years, and 76.6 percent were married or in a domestic partnership.

Fractional Ownership Market Booming. PR Newswire; 8/25/2005 Fractional ownership is appealing to a growing number of vacationers who want an exclusive home environment where their every need and desire is met -- and The Ritz-Carlton Club has established itself as the industry leader in this niche. "Instead of paying $5 million or more for a home in Aspen, Colo., for example, this new breed of vacation home owner is purchasing luxury condominiums at the base of Aspen Highlands for about $300,000 and using it for four weeks or more a year," said Bob Phillips, senior vice president of The Ritz-Carlton Club. "With The Ritz-Carlton Club they also gain the signature services of a five-star hotel in the comfort of their own residence." See http://www.ritzcarltonclub.com/ Luxury amenities, ease of use, deeded ownership and the backing of major hotel companies are the primary reasons for the strong growth, according to industry analysts. At least 158 resort properties worldwide now offer fractional interests with sales growing to $624.7 million in 2004, as noted by Ragatz Associates. Mountain resorts are seeing the biggest impact of this trend. In Aspen alone, there are now 12 fractional properties and these accounted for nearly 20 percent of all area home sales in 2004. The four Ritz-Carlton Club properties led the industry with more than $140 million in contract sales in 2004 (roughly 23 percent of the industry). "Approximately 50 percent of our business results from Members buying additional interests and referring friends and family," continued Phillips. "This indicates an exceptionally high level of satisfaction." Vacationers are drawn to the value of fractional ownership based on actual usage (typically three to four weeks per year) as well as the "hassle-free" aspect of owning a second home without having to maintain it. Amenities at Colorado's Ritz-Carlton Clubs at Aspen Highlands and Bachelor Gulch include a personal concierge, twice-daily housekeeping services, ski valet, Ritz Kids program and a health club and spa. The Clubs will also store Members' personal items, and Members enjoy reciprocal use privileges at other Ritz-Carlton Club locations. Jerry McCarthy of Boulder, Colo., a Member of The Ritz-Carlton Club, Bachelor Gulch sums up the lifestyle, "I enjoy owning a vacation residence where I don't have to lift a finger."

Fractional Ownership Offers Affordable Options Instead of diving into the expanding pool of second-home buyers on the Outer Banks, some people just want to get their feet wet. They question whether the amount of time they would spend in a vacation home justifies the cost of purchase and upkeep. Although they want access to an investment-grade piece of property, they don't want to exhaust their financial reserves or be forced to rely on rental income to cover their mortgage payments. For this type of buyer there is something called fractional ownership, also known as co-ownership, multiple-ownership and, in high-rent U.S. markets, private residence clubs. Fractional ownership, which has been around nearly as long as the time-share industry, is a way of purchasing real estate in which two or more people who are not married have title and use of the same property. In addition to the one-time purchase price, buyers also pay a monthly fee that includes their proportionate share of maintenance, taxes, insurance, furnishings, utilities, repairs and association dues. In turn, owners are allowed an allotted number of weeks of home ownership privileges each year. Each owner has a deed to the property and has the right the sell, rent or exchange his or her portion. Because it is real property, it can be included as an asset in estate planning and transferred to beneficiaries. This idea attracts buyers on a budget needing entry-level vacation property and people who want the cachet of a second home in a specific place without the expense and hassle of full ownership. One of the benefits of fractional ownership is that it's carefree living. There are no home repairs to make while vacationing, so time is spent relaxing with family and exploring the area. The house is completely furnished and stocked with items selected by the owners. "If you're renting a beach house one or two weeks on the Outer Banks, you are covering someone else's association fees. Here, you can use that same money and get five weeks a year. Plus, you know what you're getting every time. It's your house," said West. Jackson said owners don't sell their properties because they are disappointed in the concept or the development. < "It's usually a lifestyle change. They don't get back here anymore and want to sell, or their family has grown to include grandchildren and they need something bigger." As with any real estate purchase, there are disadvantages to fractional ownership. Financing isn't as readily available, so most buyers tap into their home equity lines of credit or pay cash. Although the resale market is growing, buyers aren't as plentiful. There aren't the tax advantages of home ownership, and your fractional ownership probably won't match the appreciation value of single-owner houses. "But then this is not intended to be a real estate investment," West emphasized. "Instead, it's one you make in your family's well-beingâ&#x20AC;?

Marriott Vacation Club International Launches New Fractional Ownership Brand. Marriott Vacation Club International (MVCI), the Vacation Ownership division of Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR), unveiled today a new brand of fractional ownership resorts -- Marriott Grand Residence Club. The brand combines the advantages of second home ownership with the services and amenities of a fine resort, as well as the benefits of exchange to worldwide destinations. "Marriott Grand Residence Club is a great complement to our already diverse collection of Vacation Ownership brands," said Stephen P. Weisz, president, Marriott Vacation Club International. "Our objective is to offer consumers a variety of vacation experiences to best suit their needs." Located in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., the first resort -- Marriott Grand Residence Club, Lake Tahoe (formerly, Grand Summit Resort Hotel) -- was acquired by MVCI (undeveloped) from American Skiing Company (NYSE: SKI). The 199-villa, quarter ownership property is adjacent to the Heavenly Ski Resort and the MVCI project, Marriott's Timber Lodge. Both resorts are targeted to open in November 2002. The ownership structure for the resort gives owners one week every 28 days, based on a rotation calendar. Additionally, each owner gains a consecutive twoweek period once every fourth year. Marriott Grand Residence Club, Lake Tahoe ownership prices for studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units, as well as penthouses, currently range in price from $83,900 to $550,000 per interest.

Holiday dreams for a fraction of the cost; Property Mail: Overseas. ST BARTH is the exclusive Caribbean island in the French West Indies which attracts the super rich and, until recently, no one else. But thanks to an intriguing property scheme, this is all set to change. Buyers within the Isle de France development could soon be rubbing shoulders with A-listers such as actors Sylvester Stallone and Uma Thurman, singers Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, and Microsoft boss Bill Gates. The luxurious 33-room Isle de France beachfront hotel is set in a secluded bay a few miles from the airport. Its British owners, Charles Vere Nicoll and his wife Mandie, have set aside five properties for a villa club, one of which fronts directly onto the beach with the rest behind it. Each villa has nine owners entitled to live in for five weeks a year for 75 years. One week is 'prime season' (mid- January to mid-March) and the remaining fourweekly blocks are available the rest of the year. Members can release unwanted weeks to the hotel, which splits the rental income with the member. For example, a share in the one-bedroom Tropical Villa with splash pool costs [pounds sterling] 140,000, whereas the two-bedroom Beach Villa with Jacuzzi and kitchen is [pounds sterling] 265,000. Annual maintenance fees are about [pounds sterling] 5,000. So the total cost could be nearer [pounds sterling] 500,000 (including the purchase price) over the years - but equivalent beachfront villas are priced at several million pounds. Airport transfers, concierge services and linen are included in the membership fee, but meals at the hotel's superb French restaurant, massages at the Molton Brown spa and tennis lessons are extra. You can sell your share and transfer it, or include it in your will. You can take all five weeks yourself or give one or more to a friend or relative as a gift. On the downside, the most popular time of year - Christmas and New Year - is unavailable because the shares for this period have already been sold. Most of December and January are available for holiday bookings, but you will be competing with the other owners for these prized slots. To improve your chances, you will have to plan your holidays several months in advance. Also, the villa is not yours to do with exactly as you like. Guests in sleeping bags are a no-no - it must be two people per bedroom, and an extra bed costs extra. Nor is St Barth easy to get to, but the hassle is a mixed blessing. My journey involved an eight-hour flight from Gatwick to Antigua, followed by a two-hour wait for a propeller plane to St Martin, then another hour before boarding the tenseater to St Barth. But the inaccessibility is part of the island's charm. Hard to get to, expensive, and short on hotel rooms, St Barth isn't blighted by mass tourism.

Page 269 This green, hilly island does not have a golf course, which limits visitor numbers. It is culturally, as well as legally, French. Many people dislike fractional schemes because they sound like a timeshare. But there is a difference. Instead of 52 people each owning one week a year as in a timeshare, a handful of owners control a larger slice of the action. For example, buyers of a fractional ownership at Isle de France purchase a beneficial interest, to use a legal term, in a U.S. trust that provides substantial legal safeguards. Fractional owners are similar to equity members of country clubs, and the trust's lease is in the title for the hotel.

Vacation Home Options Redefine Leisure Travel

Second Home Sales Surge, Representing 40% of Home Sales (Washington D.C., October 10, 2006)—With today’s evolving vacation home market, consumers are faced with an increasingly diverse marketplace and options in leisure travel, according to the American Resort Development Association (ARDA). To select the vacation home best suited to meet their lifestyle needs and vacation dreams, consumers must educate themselves of the market terminology, ownership options, and assess their vacation preferences, travel goals and budget. “Terms such as deeded, fractional ownership residences, destination clubs and timeshares are frequently heard because of a surging interest in vacation properties that move beyond the traditional vacation accommodations or second home,” said Howard Nusbaum, president and chief executive officer of ARDA. “Sorting through exactly what these products offer and for whom they are bestsuited can puzzle even the most sophisticated consumer.” Four out of every 10 purchases are a second home – either being used for an investment or vacation property, according to the National Association of Realtors, and this trend is expected to grow as baby boomers enter their peak earning years. The growing variety of vacation home options is redefining leisure travel, with the following product categories:

Timeshare/Vacation Ownership Overview: Vacation ownership may be purchased through deeded property ownership, right-to-use or a points-based program. Owners purchase a vacation villa for one or more weeks within a fixed or “floating time” system, which allows scheduling each year's vacation during the most convenient week within a specified season. With timeshare, consumers have the opportunity to purchase time at resorts offering a wide range of amenities at different destinations. While many vacation ownership villas have two bedrooms and two baths, floor plans range from studios to three or more bedrooms. Pricing: With vacation ownership, consumers buy in increments of one week. It is a one-time purchase, and owners also pay an annual maintenance fee, depending on the unit size, location and amenities of the resort. Timeshare is not intended to be an investment opportunity, rather an alternative to traditional vacation accommodations and seen as hedging on “vacation inflation.” According to a recently released Ernst & Young study, the average price of a timeshare interval, or week, sold during 2005 was $16,278.

Fractional Ownership/Private Residence Clubs Overview: Fractional ownership buyers typically have a recorded deed and title. Fractional ownership has the benefits of second home ownership, but for a fraction of the cost and without the maintenance responsibilities. Considering the average vacation home buyer uses the property just three to four weeks a year, Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved © Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 271 fractional ownership tends to be commensurate with actual use of a vacation home. Additionally, fractional properties are generally affiliated with high-end hotel companies or high-end boutique operators, where owners have the benefits of personalized services and amenities. Pricing: According to 2006 Fractional Interests Leisure Real Estate Market Report, fractional pricing ranges from $60,750 to $649,564 per interest based on floor plan, location and size of fraction. In addition to the purchase price, there are annual maintenance fees, which in 2005 averaged $5,575.

Destination Clubs Overview: Members of a destination club are not buying a specific property/real estate, but rather the right to use any of a portfolio of homes owned or operated by the club company. With few exceptions, they offer a non-equity based membership emphasizing a broad selection in vacation home experiences. Most destination clubs also offer members concierge services. Pricing: The Fractional Interests study also states the average length of stay at destination clubs ranges from one to nine weeks and costs include a one-time fee of $20,000 to $1.5 million, which is typically between 80 and 100 percent refundable should they choose to exit the program. Annual dues range from $1,500 to $30,000. The club may also charge a nightly fee while guests are in residence.

Condo Hotels Overview: Condo hotels offer a portion of their hotel room inventory for sale to the public. The owner may use it for vacation or corporate housing needs, or place in a rental program typically managed by the hotel. Owners then receive proceeds from the rentals. Buyers enjoy the benefits of owning real estate in a desirable location coupled with hotel amenities and services. Annual dues also apply. Pricing: Condo hotel pricing varies by real estate market trends.

Traditional Second Home Ownership Overview: Viewed as a lucrative financial investment, traditional second home ownership appeals to those seeking a vacation setting to share with family and friends and/or use for business whenever they choose. Owners have full responsibility of maintaining the property, or the owner must hire a management company. Homes purchased in popular tourist regions can generate revenue for the owner because of the willingness of tourists to pay high rental rates. Pricing: Prices follow local real estate market trends.

Fractional ownership: one of the Fastest Growing Sectors With fractional ownership and the Private Residence Club concept now among the fastest growing sectors of the resort, real estate and hospitality industries worldwide, this is also the hottest leisure real estate trend in southern Africa and the Indian Ocean, says Jose Ventura, MD of Pam Golding Vacation in Property (VIP). As pioneers of this concept in Africa and Indian Ocean, Pam Golding VIP Division specialises in the design, marketing and sale of member-owned private residence clubs, condominium hotels and serviced apartments at prestigious resort and urban locations. Says Ventura: "From an industry which in 1995 was still embryonic and has doubled in size since 1999, fractional ownership is today valued as a strong investment in any equity basket, while enabling members to own a share of a desirable residence - to be used at their convenience and at a fraction of the cost." During 2004, fractional interest sales totalled the equivalent of approximately R7,2bn worldwide, of which R4,2bn were developer sales of new fractional interests and R3bn were sales of destination clubs. Over and above this, a further R215m in re-sales were concluded. These figures represent a substantial increase over 2003, when fractional interest developers sold an estimated R2,5bn in new fractional interests and R945m in destination club memberships. Adds Ventura: "In terms of the Private Residence Club option of fractional ownership, for just a portion of the cost of purchasing or building a home, buyers are offered exclusivity of ownership in a private club with its luxury and high service standards - while only paying for what they can use and without the stress and hassle of whole ownership of a second home. In addition, this fractional ownership based product is likely to deliver a quicker and higher return on investment capital than more traditional hotel and resort properties. "Key factors ensuring the success of the Private Residence Clubs which we market, is their prime location with access to hospitality features such as golf courses or ski slopes, with a recognised and reputable operator - and with an international exchange partner to provide for vacations in other prime locations internationally. This is coupled with a development team comprising fractional specialists who can properly assemble the product," he says. This concept is well illustrated by the Pezula Private Residence Club on the Garden Route, and the Marriott Grand Residence Club at 47 Park Street in Mayfair, London. At Pezula PRC, buyers are offered an equity based investment limited to only 70 shareholders who will have fractional ownership and use of a total of five residences situated on the award winning resort estate. The share price starts at R650 000 including VAT, with an annual management fee of R18 000 (including VAT) per annum per share. This fee covers all operating costs as well as a golf club membership at The Pezula Club, when in residence. The resort comprises The Pezula Private Estate with its Field of Dreams multi-sport complex, The Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa and The Pezula Championship Golf Course, and was recently awarded Best South African development, Best South African Golf

Page 273 Development and Best International Property by the Bentley International Property Awards in London. As a member and shareholder of Pezula PRC, investors have access to their home 21 days a year, for ever. Every need is taken care of on arrival, from security, garden and housekeeping services to maintenance and insurance. The residences are exceptional architectural and interior design statements that capture the natural essence of the environment, making them ideal for relaxing and entertaining. Each residence is 200sqm with two master bedrooms and spacious en suite bathrooms, luxurious living and dining areas, the latest video and sound systems including flat screen TV's, DVD players and multi-room speaker systems, fully fitted kitchens and a private heated plunge pool. Those who are unable to use their time or a portion of that time in a particular year, can generate rental income on the residence through the rental pool, or exchange usage for that in The Pezula Portfolio of International Residences in destinations such as the Bahamas, Mexico, Tuscany, the Caribbean, Canada, USA and UK. Another of the many benefits of being a member of this club is having the ultimate global concierge service, Quintessentially, at your service, 24 hours a day - providing access into the best restaurants, health clubs, concerts, plays, operas, sporting events and nightclubs all over the world, as well as offering an exceptional travel service. At the Marriott Grand Residence Club at 47 Park Street in the heart of London's exclusive Mayfair, 49 one and two bedroom luxury residences are available to members at prices ranging from GBP 93 000. Following a multi-million pound refurbishment, this Edwardian-style townhouse complex has been decorated with a refined elegance by renowned architectural and interior design firm Wimberley Allison Tong & Goo of London, who have combined eo-classical and Regency styles to complement the building's early 20th century Edwardian architecture. Each residence has a separate living room with dining area, entertainment system (concealed in decorative armoires), kitchen equipped with emerald pearl granite worktops, hand-cut counter tiles by Cerban of Portugal and quality fittings and appliances. Light-filled, high ceiling living rooms have crystal light fixtures and each room has designer wall treatments, elegant drapes and plush furnishings. The beds, with carved mahogany headboards, are covered in Belgian linens, while the baths and sinks in Emperador marble bathrooms are adorned with period-style nickel fittings and faucets. Says Ventura: "47 Park Street is London's first property to introduce the concept of fractional ownership, with members able to use the residence for their selected number of nights each year in multiples of 21 nights, and flexible for stays of just one night, two nights, a week or longer with each visit. This product has high appeal for corporate members, as a desirable alternative to staying in a hotel while in London on business for the executive and accompanying family members. Within a short distance are luxury shopping areas, a wide variety of gourmet restaurants, as well as London's renowned theatre district and peaceful Hyde Park."

Another Record Year for World Tourism

Madrid, 29 January 2007 – With 842 million arrivals and a 4.5% growth rate, 2006 exceeded expectations as the tourism sector continued to enjoy above average results, making it a new record year for the industry. The latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer figures suggest that 2007 will consolidate this performance and turn into the fourth year of sustained growth.

«Despite downside risks facing global tourism twelve months ago – in particular terrorism, health scares due to avian flu and rising oil prices – 2006 was another year of good growth above the long-term forecast rate of 4.1%, backed up by one of the longest periods of sustained economic expansion », according to UNWTO Secretary General Francesco Frangialli. One of the features of 2006 has been the continued positive results of emerging destinations, underscoring the links to economic progress. As one of the most dynamic economic sectors, Tourism has a key role among the instruments to fight against poverty, thus becoming a primary tool for sustainable development.

«By integrating sustainable tourism in the international development agenda, our sector can make a significant contribution to advance the Millennium Development Goals through a more moderate, solid and responsible type of growth . Three years ago world tourism began a historically new phase of growth, as it broke the barrier of 800 million international arrivals, growing more than 20% since then. Tourism continues to transform itself under pressure from its environment. We are now responsible for making this new phase of growth more economical in its use of energy and natural resources, more sustainable, and lastly, more in keeping with the spirit of solidarity »,Frangialli said . Focus on Africa Africa has outpaced all other regions with almost twice the rate of global growth reaching 8.1% in 2006, following an already strong 2005. This star performance was led by Subsaharan Africa (+9.4%), while North Africa (+5.8%) also ended the year above average. Major destinations such as South Africa , Kenya and Morocco all continued to post excellent results. Asia and the Pacific (+7.6%) was able to maintain its extraordinary growth level, both due to the recovery of Thailand and the Maldives from the impact of the December 2004 tsunami, as well as remarkable performances from emerging destinations in the region – international tourist arrivals in South Asia grew by 10%, boosted by India, the destination responsible for half the arrivals to the sub-region.

Page 279 Europe performed on target last year (+4%). Germany took advantage of the Football World Cup 2006, while Italy had a strong comeback. Spain 's solid results also contributed to the generally positive outcome. In the Middle East , international tourist arrivals are estimated to have risen by 4% in 2006, after the bumper years of 2004 and 2005, and in spite of the overall geopolitical situation, the IsraelLebanon crisis in particular. Although the Americas 2% growth might seem disappointing at first, regional results vary considerably. The rise in the USA was not sufficient to compensate for the weak development in Canada and Mexico . On the other hand, the results from Central (+6.1%) and South America (+7.2%) show how Latin America is on track to consolidating the positive outcome of recent years: Chile , Colombia , Guatemala , Paraguay and Peru all grew at double-digit-rates. Forecast 2007 The increase in international tourist arrivals is projected to be around 4%, much in line with the forecast long-term annual growth rate of 4.1% through 2020. Growth is expected to be more solid as businesses, consumers, governments and international institutions such as the UNWTO are now better able to anticipate shocks and to respond more effectively to crises. Travellers are better informed and have become more adept at weighing their options and now include security factors as just another consideration among others when choosing their destinations. As a whole, the global economy is expected to maintain last year's growth level. Oil prices have shown a tendency to remain less volatile and do not pose the risk to economic stability they did a year ago. Nevertheless, some uncertainties remain on the global economic front and they could impact the tourism forecasts. Increasing interest rates in some countries and regions could diminish available income. A weaker US dollar might affect foreign travel demand by Americans. On the other hand, a stronger euro could stimulate European international travel. Against the good tourism results of the past three years and given the still overall favourable economic outlook, this positive trend in the sector looks likely to consolidate in 2007.

South Africa record growth in tourism JOHANNESBURG, Dec 15, 2005 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- South Africa Thursday claimed record-breaking growth in its tourism industry as total foreign arrivals grew by 6.9 percent to 1,616,027, during the period from April to June 2005. Moeketsi Mosola, CEO of South African Tourism, said that more than 8 million domestic trips were undertaken during the same period. This represents the fourth successive quarter in which the highest number of foreign arrivals to South Africa has been posted, and it reflects the significance and potential of the domestic travel market. "The positive trend in foreign arrivals mirrors both the global resurgence of travel that took place last year and the continued efforts of all our stakeholders," he added. Mosola noted that "Compared to the same quarter last year, we have seen a 19.7 percent increase in total foreign direct spend (TFDS) in rand terms." Growth in this quarter has been driven out of Africa and the Americas, while Europe remained steady. Only Asia recorded losses. Increased arrivals out of Africa came from both air and land markets. In the air market, a significant growth of 35 percent came from Nigeria. This was due to an improved visa regime; and with an increase in airlift at the end of this year -- with Virgin Nigeria coming on line -- further growth is expected. In African land markets, the most significant growth came from neighboring countries. While Botswana reported a decline of 10 percent, there was 53 percent growth out of Zambia and 62 percent growth out of Zimbabwe. Arrivals from the Americas have shown consistent annual growth of 8 percent since 2002, with more than 5,000 more visitors arriving from the United States. Growth out of Australasia was largely due to two key markets, those being Australia by 2 percent, and Japan 21 percent. There was however a 4 percent decline in arrivals from China and India. Arrivals out of Europe were flat for the quarter, but are up 2.5 percent for the year to date. In fact, 14,927 more European tourists have visited South Africa for the year-to-date.

Tourism 2020 Vision: WTO Tourism 2020 Vision is the World Tourism Organization's long-term forecast and assessment of the development of tourism up to the first 20 years of the new millennium. An essential outcome of the Tourism 2020 Vision are quantitative forecasts covering a 25 years period, with 1995 as the base year and forecasts for 2000, 2010 and 2020. Although the evolution of tourism in the last few years has been irregular, UNWTO maintains its long-term forecast for the moment. The underlying structural trends of the forecast are believed not to have significantly changed. Experience shows that in the short term, periods of faster growth (1995, 1996, 2000) alternate with periods of slow growth (2001 and 2002). While the pace of growth till 2000 actually exceeded the Tourism 2020 Vision forecast, it is generally expected that the current slowdown will be compensated in the medium to long term.

UNWTO's Tourism 2020 Vision forecasts that international arrivals are expected to reach over 1.56 billion by the year 2020. Of these worldwide arrivals in 2020, 1.2 billion will be intraregional and 0.4 billion will be long-haul travellers. The total tourist arrivals by region shows that by 2020 the top three receiving regions will be Europe (717 million tourists), East Asia and the Pacific (397 million) and the Americas (282 million), followed by Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. East Asia and the Pacific, South Asia, the Middle East and Africa are forecasted to record growth at rates of over 5 percent per year, compared to the world average of 4.1 per cent. The more mature regions Europe and Americas are anticipated to show lower than average growth rates. Europe will maintain the highest share of world arrivals, although there will be a decline from 60 per cent in 1995 to 46 per cent in 2020.

Long-haul travel worldwide will grow faster, at 5.4 per cent per year over the period 1995-2020, than intraregional travel, at 3.8 per cent. Consequently the ratio between intraregional and long-haul travel will shift from around 82:18 in 1995 to close to 76:24 in 2020.

International World Travel sets new Record in 2006 MADRID, Spain (AP) -- World tourism set a record in 2006 despite fears of terrorism, bird flu and rising oil prices, the United Nations tourism watchdog reported Monday. A total of 842 million international tourist arrivals were recorded last year, an increase of about 4.5 percent, the Madrid-based World Tourism Organization said, citing preliminary data. By regions, Africa posted the biggest growth rate at 8.1 percent, benefiting from travelers' fears of terrorism elsewhere in the world. "Although no destination is immune to terrorist attacks, sub-Saharan Africa in particular is seen as being a long way from the center of zones of tension and unrest," the agency said in a report. Africa is also a lure because of its natural resources, including wildlife, and appeal as a place for "authentic" experiences for vacationers, it added. The region with the weakest growth was the Americas -- just 2.0 percent -- due mainly to stagnation in arrivals in North America, the WTO said.

International tourism up by 5.5% to 808 million arrivals in 2005 MADRID, 24 January 2006â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In 2005 international tourism sustained the sharp upturn that began in 2004 in spite of the various tragic events it had to contend. According to preliminary results presented today by the United Nations specialized agency, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) the number of international tourist arrivals recorded worldwide grew by 5.5% and exceeded 800 million for the first time ever. Although 2005 was certainly a tumultuous year, international tourism has fared amazingly well. Despite various terrorist attacks and natural disasters, such as the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami and an extraordinarily long and strong hurricane season, the recovery, which started in 2004, continued firmly through 2005. Even though the disruptions experienced definitely left traces locally in the short-term, they did not substantially alter the global or regional traffic flows. Based on detailed results for a large number of destinations included in the January issue of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer the number of international tourist arrivals in 2005 is estimated at 808 million, up from 766 million in 2004. This corresponds not only to an increase of 5.5%, but also means a consolidation of the bumper growth achieved in 2004 (+10%). Although growth was more moderate, it still almost 1.5 percentage points above the long-term average annual growth rate of 4.1%. UNWTO Secretary-General, Francesco Frangialli commented "The tourism sector has gained substantially in resilience over the past years. In spite of the turbulent environment we live in nowadays, destinations worldwide added some 100 million international arrivals between 2002 and 2005." Results by region Africa led the way in 2005, with growth estimated at 10%. Growth was stronger in Sub-Saharan Africa (+13%) with particularly remarkable results for Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Page 284 Kenya (+26% between January and October compared with the same period of the previous year) following an already buoyant 2004, and Zambia (+37% JanSep). South Africa (+11% Jan-Aug) as well as the island destinations of Seychelles (+7%) and Mauritius (+6%), all improved on their 2004 results. In North Africa growth continued, but at a more moderate pace, with Tunisia recording an increase of 8% between January and November and Morocco 5% for the full year. Growth in Asia and the Pacific averaged 7%, following the exceptional postSARS rebound in 2004 (+27%). North-East Asia (+10%) emerged as the most dynamic subregion with the strongest performers being Taiwan (pr. of China) (+15% Jan-Oct), China (+13% Jan-Nov) and Japan (+9% Jan-Nov). In SouthEast Asia (+4%), Oceania (+4%) and South Asia (+4%), results overall were more modest and above all rather mixed. Cambodia (+35% Jan-Nov), Lao PDR (+27% Jan-Sep), Vietnam (+18%), the Philippines (+14% Jan-Oct) and India (+13%) nevertheless managed to report remarkable growth. Among the countries affected by the December 2004 tsunami tragedy, the Maldives reported a 39% decrease up to November although the rate of decline has eased in the last months. Arrivals to Indonesia were down by nearly 9%, as the country suffered also from the October Bali bombing. Sri Lanka reported only a slight 0.4% drop, although this result may in part be attributed to the large number of Sri Lankan expatriates who visited the country in the aftermath of the tsunami and to the flow of aid workers. As for Thailand, although overall data up to June shows a 6% decline, arrivals at the Bangkok airport registered 4% growth in the period through October. In the Americas, growth reached 6% with North America (+4%) and the Caribbean (+5%) slightly below the regional average. Of the major destinations, the United States continued the recovery started in 2004 (+8% Jan-Sep), while Mexico (+8% Jan-Nov) and Cuba (+13% Jan-Nov) still showed above-average increases, even after having suffered the impact of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devastating hurricanes. Destinations in Central America (+14%) and South America (+13%), on the other hand, can look back on a very positive year. The strongest growth was reported by Venezuela (+23%) and Colombia (+22%), while Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua all recorded, or were on their way to record, growth rates of between 10 -20%. Following the very strong performance over the past couple of years, the Middle East seems to have entered a more moderate phase of growth, with the increase for 2005 estimated at 7%. Egypt (+6%), Dubai ( United Arab Emirates ) (+7% Jan-Sep) and Jordan (+5%) are all close to the regional average, while Bahrain (+11% Jan-Sep), Saudi Arabia (+21% Jan-Jun) and Palestine (+45% Jan-Sep, albeit from a small base) are on their way to exceeding it. Available data, however, is rather limited and the picture could certainly still change. Europe recorded relatively modest growth of 4%, which is still one percentage point above the long-term trend of the region. This result can be considered very encouraging given the rather weak economy in some of its major intra-regional source markets. Moreover, due to Europe 's already very large base of over 400 million arrivals, in absolute terms it recorded the largest increase corresponding to some 18 million arrivals. Growth was strongest in Northern Europe (+7%), boosted by the United Kingdom (+10% Jan-Nov), which was seemingly not notably affected by the London bomb attacks. International tourist arrivals in Southern and Mediterranean Europe increased by 6%. Turkey was the star Mabwe Safari Lodge Business Plan Highly Confidential All rights Reserved ÂŠ Mabwe Safari Lodge/C. Mitchell 2007/8

Furthermore, Spain (+6%), Croatia (+7% JanNov), Israel (+26% Jan-Oct) and Serbia and Montenegro (+27% Jan-Oct) also recorded respectable results. Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe grew by 2% and 4% respectively. In Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, Latvia (+20%), Lithuania (+15% Jan-Sep) and Estonia (+7% Jan-Nov) stood out, while, in Western Europe, the best results came from Germany (+6% Jan-Nov) and Switzerland (+6% Jan-Nov). Prospects for 2006 For 2006 the current pattern of gradually slowing growth is expected to continue. In cooperation with the Fundación Premio Arce of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid a short-term forecast has been elaborated according to which international tourist arrivals worldwide are expected to grow between 4 - 5% in 2006. Growth is projected to be around one percentage point lower than in 2005 but still somewhat above the forecast long-term annual growth rate of 4.1%. This outlook is supported by the continued good shape of the world economy in most parts of the world and the improved prospects for the eurozone economies, in particular its most important source market Germany . Three major uncertainties remain for 2006.

•

First, it is likely that terrorism will continue to be present. However, experience shows that its impact lately has been rather limited and shortlived. Travelers overall have assumed the risk and have been undeterred by external threats.

•

Secondly, rising energy prices, inflation and interest rates might finally change the economic scenario. This has not been much of a problem until now, as the price hike has mostly been an expression of the strong economic growth and the corresponding demand for energy. Should this situation continue and affect economic growth in Asia , the tourism industry could start feeling the impact.

•

Finally, the further spread of avian flu could be a serious threat for the tourism sector. Avian flu has been present in the world for several years now and it is currently limited to birds and isolated cases of people living in very close contact with infected animals. As yet no transmission of the virus between humans has been detected and it is hard to say whether, when and where such a mutation will occur. For the moment there is no reason to change travel plans as long as recommendations issued by national and local health and veterinary authorities are respected.

“Panic is always a bad advisor”, says Mr. Frangialli. “What we can do is to monitor the situation closely and prepare for it, should it happen. In spite of the current uncertainties I am confident that world tourism and all its stakeholders will weather the storm - if it does come - in the best way possible.“

Predicting the Future - Trends in the Golf Course Market By Dr. Klaus Ennemoser Numerous golf insiders pretend to be clairvoyants and proclaim their forecasts for the "future golf market". But predictions of the future are always fraught with uncertainties and results can vary according to how you view the crystal ball. Ennemoser Consulting has also tried to predict the future using its own oracle, a computer data base. There is no international organisation collating information from all the golf clubs (golf courses) in the world. Consequently, no precise worldwide golf statistics exist, but it is estimated that, throughout the world, there are 60 million golfers and 30,000 golf courses The golf market is growing. It is not booming but it is growing steadily. Within the past 10 years the number of players in Europe has grown by an average of 7% while the number of golf courses has risen by an average of 5% per year. Comparable statistics in Germany show an average yearly increase of 11% for golfers and 8% for golf courses. This comparison shows immediately that demand is growing faster than supply. Within Europe, the UK and Ireland claim 51% of all European golf courses and 43% of all registered European golfers, yet only 15% of the European population. The number of non-registered "independent" golfers is also extremely high in the UK, where there are an estimated 1,25 to 1,75 million players. On the continent, the "Big Four" in the golf market are Sweden, Germany, France and Spain. These four countries have 68% of all golfers and 61% of all golf courses. The following table, Golf Statistics Europe 2000, shows this in detail. Golf Statistics Europe 2000 P Country 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

However, this statistic does not express whether or not there is sufficient capacity for admittance to a golf club (e.g. limitations like waiting lists or membership unavailability). Because of the lack of data available the figures for "population per golf course or golf club" are often used.

A comparison of the development of golf courses and the increase of golfers shows clearly that the growth of European golf is shifting to the continent.

Newly registered golfers per year (GB und IRL) (1985 to 2000): 29.500

New golf courses per year (GB und IRL) (1985 to 2000): 57

Newly registered golfers per year (Continent) (1985 to 2000): 95.000

Newly golf courses per year (Continent) (1985 to 2000): 129

Summarising the developments of European golf it can be said that:

the countries UK, Germany, Sweden, France and Ireland are the leaders. These 5 countries have 76% of the golf courses and 77% of the golfers

there is a total of about 5.800 golf courses and 3,3 million registered golfers in Europe. In addition there are about 2 million independent golfers, mostly from the UK

Page 293 o

the development of new golf courses and the growing number of new golfers are increasingly shifting to the continent. The British market is highly saturated.

Forecast 2010 Predicting for larger areas is easier because more data is available. Therefore it can be assumed that the outlook on the world market is quite realistic.
