The Attitudes of Tourists towards the Environmental, Social and Managerial Attributes of Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

International tourists visiting Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, express high satisfaction with their experience but are concerned about potential future changes that could alter the park's pristine environment and iconic African wilderness. Research indicates that tourists with strong ecocentric attitudes—prioritizing environmental conservation—are more likely to support management actions aimed at controlling tourism impacts, access, and preserving local culture. These findings highlight the significance of balancing tourism growth with conservation efforts to address pressing challenges such as poaching, habitat degradation, wildlife diseases, and population pressure in surrounding communities. The study employed a survey-based approach to assess visitor attitudes toward environmental, social, and managerial attributes of the park.
