Mosu airstrip excites tourism boss

She told The Monitor that the airstrip is a dream come true for Botswana's tourism aspirations. She said the need for an airstrip in the area had long been identified by tourism stakeholders.

She praised President Ian Khama for supporting the project. She said Khama played a big part in convincing the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) to construct the facility. "We have supportive elders (referring to the President) that we report to about our projects from time to time, and we are fortunate that we have a supportive President who shares our vision for tourism," she said.
