There are arguments on extensive roles of tourism as regards to improvement of the
welfare and living condition of surrounding communities vested on the relationships
between tourism and the household’s income. In order to provide critical analysis on the
matter, the study focuses on assessing the impact of tourism on household’s income to
communities living adjacent to protected areas by examining the contribution of tourism
income to the total household’s income. In so doing, the study examines the effects of
tourism on employment and business opportunities in the community and income of the
local people at Mto wa Mbu. The study also assesses the contribution of tourism on
social services provisions in the community by investigating the supply and employment
opportunities and factors that enhance such opportunities. The main focus is on the
access of communities on tourism employment, capacity to sell to tourist hotels and
lodges and business innovative patterns. The researcher has used both cross-section and
longitudinal research designs using the survey and documentary reviews data technique.
The survey technique was carried through the established questionnaires and interview
guides which were applied to 95 respondents whore were randomly selected through the
stratified sampling technique. The community of Mto wa Mbu depends on tourism on
their day to day economic activities such as selling their farm produces and artisanal
products as well as on employment in lodges, hotels and camps. The findings show that
tourism has a significant contribution on household’s income at Mto wa Mbu through
provision of farm supplies and employment opportunities which are provided in the
industry. The researcher recommends that, the government and other practitioners
should increase their efforts on enhancing the community to increase their productivity
capacity especially through education in order to increase community awareness and
hence productivity. |
