Absolutely, Lis, but SA companies can do the same, with massive experience in bush lodge management, which Radisson does not really have, IMO.
The point is, why did SANParks outscource to a foreign company in 2009/10 already, and now plead local involvement as a financial cornerstone of SP projects, visions, partnerships etc.?
