Climate Change Adaptation and Tourism: Towards Sustainable Tourism development in Kilimanjaro National Park Mountain, Tanzania

Climate change significantly impacts tourism resources in Kilimanjaro National Park (KINAPA), Tanzania, with a strong correlation of 4.705 between climate change severity and resource availability. The study identifies key adaptation strategies such as afforestation, eco-tourism, green tourism initiatives, loan provision for sustainable practices, environmental conservation projects, and education campaigns. These measures aim to mitigate climate impacts while fostering sustainable tourism development. The research employed a cross-sectional design with interviews, observations, and documentary reviews involving 90 respondents from adjacent villages over one month. Findings highlight the need for collaborative efforts among stakeholders to strengthen underutilized adaptation strategies, ensuring long-term resilience in KINAPA's tourism sector.
