The department says the application forms will be sold between August 22 and September 5, 2016 at any of its offices.
This is contained in a press statement by Ministry of Tourism and Arts public relations officer Sakabilo Kalembwe.
“We wish to announce to the hunting fraternity and the general public that applications for granting of hunting licences in hunting blocks located in gamemanagement areas (GMAs) are now being sold,” he said.
Mr Kalembwe said a non-refundable application of K200 will be charged for each application.
This is very predictable. After PF, there will be no more Lions, Leopard, Elephants etc in Zambia. Everything will be dununa reverse
WE WILL DECAMPAIGN TOURISM TO ZAMBIA FROM ABROAD, anyway, CHAGWACHINANGWA HAS ALREADY DECAMPAIGNED THE COUNTRY – WHAT WITH HIS HOOLIGANS & THUGS, We will just advise FRIENDS & TRAVEL AGENTS, ZAMBIA IS A DANGEROUS COUNTRY TO EVEN CONSIDER VISITING & THEY ARE KILLING WILDLIFE AS IF THERE IS NO TOMORROW!!!!!
DON’T WORRY, IT IS SO EASY TO START A PETITION AROUND HERE, IT WILL BE SET UP BY TOMORROW!!!
STOP KILLING WILDLIFE IF YOU WANT TOURISTS!!!!!!!!
I THANK YOU!!!
How much?
Tourist numbers have been dropping in an industry that is supposed to be the biggest contributor to our GDP but the totally hapless minister kapata resorts to decimating animals to raise funds. even game rangers have resorted to poaching to get paid as the ministry is broke and not paying them…
This is what we get when a Grade 7 theater Nurse is appointed by an incompetent Lungu as a Minister of Tourism. She cannot even look after her own constituency in Mandevu. Ahh, but she helped Lungu with the rigging of the election, so she deserves the job!
Wait a minute, the new cabinet has already been named..!?
While everybody else in the World is doubling their wildlife conservation efforts, WE in Zambia are only too proud to declare an OPEN killing season. What is wrong with us?
Because we have too many animals than others combined. If you don’t know nothing about the exercise just become one of the animals in those same countries
What is wrong with this country? We can’t even allow animals to live and multiply for sometime sure? And then you wonder why Kenya attracts more tourists? Kenya had to sacrifice before they reached where they are now. No tourist wants to come from Canada and start looking for days just to see a particular animal. Just like if I want to see a tiger in Asia, I will go to a place where I can see a tiger during my first attempt.
mr, demand zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz if you dont have wat to say. who told you that there will be no animals after lungu? there some people who EAN there living by killing this animals if you dont no. and another thing you shod no is that lungu is and he will be your president. die if you want.
Free tourism knowledge to share. Tourism graduates understand tourism works well with 3 pillars. Economic, Environmental and Social sustainability to some scholars claiming a 4th carbon. There is a delicate balance to be struck between the pillars as environmental damage to a destination such as reduced visitation jeopardizing the visibility of local enterprises that depend on tourism. Economic: supports jobs while delivering income to communities in the long term. Social: focuses upon sharing benefits fairly and equitably and respecting quality life of communities and human rights. It will increasingly involve ‘living within our means.’ Environmental: focuses on stewardship or resources and managing conserving the environment, and will involve the notion of ‘limits to growth.’
Killing wildlife is not the answer. Education is the only way and as long as you have people managing this sector looking for short cuts, you will soon find out that we will not have any more lions, elephants, buffaloes, cheetahs, leopards and rhinos. If one has no education in boosting this sector, killing is what they will resort to because it does not require someone to think. Diversifying the tourism product is the answer and marketing is key which the Tourism Board has failed miserably at doing. We have the 7th wonder in the world and Uganda is doing better than us in tourism. Visitors are now flocking to Botswana so you have to ask why? We rebranded yet nothing happened! The problem is not tourism but the people in charge or running this sector who need to be let go.
Kevin Richardson is someone Zambia needs to learn from. Go on youtube or Google lionwhisperer. Zambia there is value in conserving wildlife instead of destroying it. Trophy Hunting was introduce in the 50’s by white colonialists. Same people in the early 70’s realized its better to conserve than kill. Because we have uneducated people in this sector in Zambia, they choose to revert back to the 1950’s instead of implementing sustainable tourism. Why not target GreenTravellers from Germany with money motivated by self-fulfillment who love to brag about travelling to other countries? Let’s look at the 4 Jafari’s tourism platforms to know where we are and heading. It’s never too late to make positive changes. Study: Advocacy, Cautionary, Adaptancy and Knowledge-based platform.
This is disgusting…when are these f**ls going to wake up…complete f**ls..they know nothing about Sustainable tourism or depleting resources to the highest bidder; try hunting in Europe you will see how far you will go even mere squirrels!!
This is beyond horrific! These are SUPPOSED to be human beings and they’re the ones acting like animals! It’s wrong! You all should die slow, painful deaths for the wrong you’re committing against God’s creatures! You know, ight really isn’t hard to understand why God created animals first! The majority of the human race is going to send our species straight to hell. And there’s nothing the good people can do about it.
I love Zambia, but this is horrific!
