Introduction

Linecurve pink 2x

The district has been predominantly depending on fishing as a major economic activity due to the availability of water bodies and fish stocks until 2016 when the Local Authority embarked on an ambitious quest to develop the tourism sector owing to the natural resources such as a white sandy beach located along the shores of lake Bangweulu as well as animal species in the Kalasa Mukoso Game Management Area.
