Hi everyone-
Tejanath and I spoke yesterday for quite some time about the project. The local community remains very invested in further development of the website (www.makaluaruntreks.com). We talked a lot about the website being a tool for marketing versus the entire focus of the project. I explained that right now I feel the focus is a bit like putting "the cart before the horse." Tejanath proposed first developing the website and then coming up with a plan for approaching tourism. I explained to him that it should actually be the other way around.
