From a Tourism viewpoint, this is the start of an on-going campaign of a series of blogs which will aim to oppose Fracking or the Hydraulic Fracturing Exploration of Shale Gas which foreign based Royal Dutch Shell, Bundu Australia and Falcon USA wish to exploit in the Greater Karoo Region of South Africa.
GPS Tours supports the efforts of the Treasure Karoo Action Group (TKAG) who are leading the campaign against the inevitable destruction of this pristine region of South Africa. For up-to-date information visit www.treasurethekaroo.co.za
