Integrated assessment protocol for measuring and monitoring the impacts
of tourism on community development and sustainable livelihoods
the park authority became shareholders in the lodges at their inception; this was
the first time in South Africa that the conservation authorities, the surrounding
local communities and the private sector had jointly built lodges within a
proclaimed park where each party owned equity in the operation. The communi-
ties involved in each of the tourism initiatives; the Mathenjwa in the case of
Ndumo Wilderness Camp and the Mqobela in the Rocktail Bay Lodge initiative,
are rural based, with approximately 1000 and 200 households respectively in the
community areas adjacent to the reserve where the tourism initiative is located.
In the case of Ndumo Lodge, WS own 50 per cent of the lodge operating
company (LOC). Isivuno is a Section 21 (not for profit) company formed as the
trading arm of what is now KwaZulu-Natal Nature Conservation Services
(KZNNCS) and owns 37.5 per cent of the LOC, while the Mathenjwa
Community Trust hold the remaining 12.5 per cent. The LOC's tenure is based
on a 20-year lease arranged with the Lodge Owning Company (LOC#2) which
commenced in 1995. The LOC#2 ownership structure is as follows; Ithala Bank
42 per cent, Isivuno 43.5 per cent and the Mathenjwa Community Trust 14.5 per
cent. This ownership structure mirrors that of the arrangement entered into by
WS with the Mqobela Community in Rocktail Bay Lodge, a tourism initiative on
the coast of Maputaland commenced in 1992 (Poultney and Spenceley, 2001;
Massyn and Koch, 2004; Simpson, 2008b). Due to the involvement of the
Mathenjwa community at both owning and operating company levels, the
Mathenjwa Community Trust receive a fixed amount every quarter, being 14.5
per cent of the lease and in addition they also expect to receive a variable amount
