About Us
CAMAT group is intended to promote tourism in Chitral, northern Pakistan. The purpose of this initiative is to reduce poverty by creating off-farm job opportunities to reduce pressure on land resources and fostering people to people contact so that an environment of peace ce and friendship will be promoted. CAMAT [Chitral Association for Mountain Area Tourism] was established in 1998 by a wide spectrum of tourism stakeholders for the promotion of ecotourism in Chitral and Northern Areas. It is not-for-profit registered tourism company. The objective of the association is to diversify people's livelihood opportunities by creating off-farm job opportunities so that pressure on land resources will decrease and natural biodiversity and ecology will restore.
Sustainability Practices
From 2003-7, CAMAT worked through the financial and technical support of UNESCO with a project titled promotion of ecotourism in the mountainous region of Central and South Asia. The project had eight partners from Central and South Asia. In Pakistan the project rested with CAMAT, which implemented the activities under the following themes to achieve the project's broader objectives. Though UNESCO project came to an end, CAMAT is continuing its activities mostly by the voluntary support of its Board of Directors and cultural groups and natural club throughout the Chitral district. We would like the like-minded NGOs around the world to come forward and support CAMAT in its efforts to protect the virgin natural environment and traditional culture of both the Kalash and Khow communities.
