We want to build an Arcadian type village, based on architectural style typical of rural '700, constructed of local materials by a largely unskilled workforce and capable to generate deep positive emotions in residents and visitors.
The beautiful feeling to be transported back in time in to a place that a normal person can still understand will be enhanced by a dress code inspired to local traditions, to be adopted by residents and visitors.
Suitable clothing to sell to visitors can be produced in the village, reinforcing the uniqueness of the experience and providing the village with an additional source of income.
It will be very advantageous if the village could be located in proximity of one area already attracting a sizable number of international tourists during the whole year.
The area known as the Letaba Ranch, near Phalaborwa in the Limpopo Province of South Africa represent the ideal setting for such a village.
The nearby Kruger National Park already attract about one million visitors a year and the presence of the village in the vicinity will create an additional attraction of very high level, increasing the number and the duration of stay of the tourists, to the benefit of local communities.
The most of the village population will be made by local people, researchers, small scale entrepreneurs, NGO's personnel, newly matriculated individuals looking to gain work experience, still active retired people and professional people with activities that can be conducted via internet.
