This study explores challenges facing the linkages
between the tourism industry and local suppliers at
the destinations. During 2010 surveys involving hotel
and restaurant operators, local suppliers and tourists
were conducted in Zanzibar. Qualitative analysis of the
perspectives of the respondents reveals the multitude
of constraints. From operators, the main constraints
include poor quality of the locally supplied products,
business informalities, high transaction costs and violation
of agreements by local suppliers. Low production
levels, low prices offered by hotels and restaurants
coupled with late payments for the products delivered
were the most serious problems cited by local suppliers.
There is also a certain degree of mistrust between the
local suppliers and the operators. However, the source
of the tourism products consumed in the hotels or restaurants
was not a point of concern, at least from the
tourists’ perspective. Strategies to bridge the demandsupply
gaps in order to maximize the benefits of tourism,
among the tools for fighting the rampant poverty,
have been recommended. |
