In terms of RAP, ECPTA has arranged its fifteen reserve groups into three clusters. The dominant activity type appropriate to each reserve determines in which cluster it is located. Attention to aligning clusters to existing tourism routes ensures that there is synchronicity, and that communities participating in tourism initiatives are easily absorbed into the tourism value chain of the area.
