Rural Congo is not a hot place for tourism. In fact, you will not find too many tourist in Congo.
Most people like to visit warm, sunny places with tall palm trees and sandy beaches. Congo is warm. It is sunny most of the time. But it does not a lot of sandy beaches. And we are trying to replace the standard taller palm tree with a small dwarf palm tree.
However, the dwarf palm tree is an experiment to encourage more palm tree plantations. Currently, palm oil is a big import for Congo. In reality, Congo should be a leader exporter of palm oil.
Exportation of palm oil would be boom for rural Congo.
Why are you replacing the "standard" taller palm trees that are indigenous to the region?
