Summary
A significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Victoria Falls is the hospitality sector, particularly hotels and tour operators, followed by road transport dominated by older Japanese vehicles. This study highlights the ecological sensitivity and carbon footprint of the town's tourism infrastructure, emphasizing the need for urgent sustainability measures. Researchers employed surveys, interviews, and field observations to gather data, revealing critical insights that could guide policy and practice toward reducing emissions through renewable energy adoption.
