Sustainable Models in Tanzanian Tourism Industry: A Comparative Analysis

Community-based tourism initiatives in Tanzania, particularly in rural areas like the Serengeti National Park and Kilimanjaro region, have demonstrated significant potential for economic empowerment and environmental sustainability. This study highlights that such models, when inclusive and locally-led, can enhance the resilience and long-term success of Tanzania's tourism industry while aligning with broader conservation goals. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis of existing literature, to compare how these sustainable models operate in practice across national parks, cultural sites, and coastal destinations. Findings underscore the importance of stakeholder engagement and co-creation in future tourism projects to ensure sustainability, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers, businesses, and community leaders.
