For years, residents of Aranos have felt the weight of neglect and underdevelopment, despite the country's visible progress in other areas.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism has called on rural communities to be creative and partake in the tourism sector.

This was stated during the celebration of World Tourism Day at Nkurenkuru.
