The Manado administration is to build a zoo to boost tourism, especially its ecotourism potential, an official said here Sunday. 'There are two alternatives [under consideration] for the location of the zoo: Manado Tua Island in Bunaken and Gunung Tumpa in Manado,' Manado Mayor Vicky Lumentut said on Sunday as quoted by Antara news agency.

Your comments:


Manado has some fabulous things going for it ' nice beaches, great food, lovely people and not many radicals. They do not need a zoo. What it does need is to clean up its act (corruption) and develop its environment with sense not greed.

A zoo is not ecotourism.
