The majority of respondents (63%) felt that the existing level of development should be<br />

maintained, with no expansion; only 11% were of the opinion that large-scale resort<br />

development be initiated, while 19% felt that adequate shelters need to be constructed on<br />

summits (this response is from the mountain-climbing groups). This finding is consistent<br />

with the general profile of protected area visitors, who are more interested in nature rather<br />

than development.<br />

activities be included, to diversify the activity base for visitors to GSSP. Twenty-two<br />

percent (22%) suggested treasure hunt, followed by oreinteering, in view of the thick forests<br />

within GSSP, also suitable for these two activities.<br />
