Botswana Land Boards will once again begin allocating
tourism lands starting from April 2019 since 2014. In 2014 the administration
of tourism lands was transferred from the land boards to the parent Ministry of
Lands, an unpopular move deemed by some as a violation of Botswana's land administration laws.
However, from April, the administration of tourism lands will
be restored back to the land boards.This is part of the changes introduced by the
government of Mokgweetsi Masisi.
Meanwhile,
another change pertains to the way leases for tourism concessions will be
granted. Head leases for Community concessions will be signed between the
community trusts and Land Boards. The community trusts will in turn
sublease to tourism operators as it used to happen before the advent of the
land bank. For other concessions, leases
will be signed between Land Board and tour operators. However, the changes will not affect the terms of the existing
leases.
