The park will both attract tourist from around world while it creating jobs for migrant and ease their integration
A camel park is being built in the Swedish city of Gothenburg in order to create jobs for migrant and ease their integration process.
Project developer Geza Nagy hopes the park, at which visitors will be able to both pet and ride camels, will become a popular tourist attraction.
“The largest source of income will be from tourism. There is a huge interest in camels both in Sweden and abroad. We expect tourists from around the world, including from Japan and China," he said.
Nagy said there are migrants from the Middle East and Somalia who have “extensive knowledge" of camels, adding that staff will receive training on how to breed and care for the animals.
The number of migrants in Sweden was expected to reach 200,000 in 2016, higher than in some other European countries. Sweden received 163,000 asylum seeker applications, particularly from nationals from the Middle East and North Africa.
