New 400m Conservation Area Visitor Access Fees
Starting December 2010, KFPL and KIBCA have set new kustom and management fees for visitors to the 400m conservation area and Imbu Rano Lodge.
This provides funds to allow KIBCA to better manage the area. The new fee structure has free entry for local people to encourage them to visit the area. It compares well with kustom fees elsewhere in the Solomons and considers the ability of visitors to pay.
