My Novel Solution to World Hunger – Business Side of Solutions

* Form Competitive Business Partnerships with the Tourist Companies in the Developed Countries.*

“Develop Tourism Industry with Africa’s Blessed Abundant Natural Resources”

Africa’s competitive advantage lies in its abundant natural resources. Thus, by taking advantage of unique tourist attractions such as wild life habitat, tropical fruits and vegetables, exotic jungle, and the remains of the past, Africa’s revenues could increase. Currently, despite the existing natural resources, African countries are still struggling for decent living standards, which is probably because of a lack of good business skills of African companies.

To overcome this weakness, I suggest that African tourism market form innovative strategic partnerships with well-respected tourism companies worldwide. Business know-how such as business management skills, planning, marketing, sales, administration, and financing would complement Africa’s deficient areas in Tourism. In exchange for the business expertise, African companies may provide foreign tourists from partner companies with a discount or special package options.

* Specific Action Plan *

# Enrich the Educational Experiences for Visitors: Improve the quality of existing Museum, Art Gallery, Biological Garden, and Aquarium for visitors. For instance, Egypt might construct educational museums called National Anthropological museum, using its rich resources of ancient remains.

# Africa could invite International students majoring in Anthopology, Sociology, Communication, or Humanities, etc. by working closely with many good universities from the world through the programs including Field trips, exchange programs, or visiting student.

# Focus on unique artworks. Superior quality of National Art Gallery could be built to pursue a unique African identity, which is demonstrated in the art works including craftwork, knitting, fine needlework, or wood sculpture and so on. Handmade products would appeal more to tourists who are accustomed to mass production.

* Limitation: Higher Ethical Standards and Political Stability

The paramount riots and protests plague Africa with political instabilities and corrupted practice from political leaders. To ensure profits generated by tourists, a more equitable allocation for the poor is critical. Active involvements with humanitarian organizations, public movements, and the grass roots lobbyist can pressure the government to do the right things.
In other words, a more transparent and righteous African government practices is the most basic prerequisite to ensure fair distribution of income in Africa.
