Strategic Importance Cooperation for a first
Lodgehopping-Tour

Until now the different Lodgeholders promote and
sell there one lodge without almost any
cooperation with others. Each one has his own
boatsman and guides, order his own food and
beverages therefore a trip to several lodges is
now a very expensive adventure. To be able to
sell such a wonderful experience to an affordable
price, several of the stakeholders must work
together to profit from logistic and
marketing. With a cooperation the whole
communities will also profit.

Markets Cooperation for a first
Lodgehopping-Tour
Due to most of the Lodges are more or less on a
backpacking-Level the target group in the
beginning will be young, adventured, ambitioned
people. Because Holland still is the country,
where Surinames is best known, the first
targetgroup will be Duch. Nevertheless there are
new Markets just looking for new, unspoiled
destinations as Germany/Switzerland/Austria,
followed also by French, Americans and Canadians.
