4.8.2 Structured Questionnaire Methodology 4.8.2.1 Tourist Survey The study's tourist survey was designed to determine tourist demand for the utilisation of natural resources in the Okavango Delta and enable the development of a tourist typology for the region. The tourist survey was conducted simultaneously with the tourist accommodation and local inhabitant surveys over three, two month periods (April/May 2003; November/December 2003; August/September 2004), which included both high and low season months for domestic and international tourism in the Okavango Delta. A map depicting the Okavango Delta region was used to locate the major tourist areas of Maun, Shakawe, Moremi Game Reserve, Etsa 6, Etsa 13 and Seronga. The survey targeted both domestic (Botswana) and other African tourists as well as international overseas tourists. A total of 400 structured questionnaires in self-addressed, stamped envelopes were randomly distributed to tourists in hotels, lodges and safari camps in the major tourist areas in the Delta region. A total of 224 mailed responses were received, allowing for a 56 percent response rate. One English language form (Appendix Two) was prepared, tested and revised as necessary. However, language constraints did, on occasion, lead to certain foreign overseas tourists being omitted. This is believed to have introduced only slight bias as the non-English speaking group represents only a minimal percentage of the Delta's tourists. The majority of both domestic and international tourists who visit this region can speak English. 4.8.2.2 Tourist Accommodation Survey The Okavango Delta contains a total of 17 lodges, 2 hotels and 66 safari camps (a total of 85 tourist accommodation facilities) in the region. Structured questionnaires in self-addressed, stamped envelopes were distributed to the managers of 2 hotels, 16 lodges and 52 safari camps (a total of 70 tourist accommodation facilities) in the Delta. A total of 2 mailed responses were received from the managers of the 2 hotels, 14 from the managers of the 16 lodges, and 47 from the managers of the 52 safari camps (a total of 63 responses) (Appendix Three), allowing for a 100,87, and 90 percent response rate respectively. Therefore, overall, 74 percent of the 85 109
