PREAMBLE:
Tanzania has recognised the essence of low impact
tourism to the wildlife and its habitat. Potentially through inception of
new approaches in Wildlife Management and abandoning the old approaches of
"fences and fines" by recognising the potentials the communities around this
resource play in the better should they be involved and really fully
participation in the sake of it. The community is now very much involved in the
natural resource management in Tanzania as the sector is rapidly evolving on
competing land uses and human population building up rapidly. These resources
can and will not persist if ECOTOURISM is not practiced so as to give an
alternative source of income to the communities around these resources-wildlife
and its habitat. Since the inception of new approach in most parts of Tanzania
the rate of wildlife resource depletion has been decreasing slowly as
communities have realized the fruits of their participation in wildlife
management and conservation.
The Government support to low impact tourism also
known as sustainable tourism or widely as ECOTOURISM was setting the Thresholds
for the use of the wildlife habitats in terms of controlling number of visitor,
vehicles, number of investors inside or around the protected areas. Tanzania
National Park (TANAPA) uses the Threshold Potential Concerns and the Limit of
Acceptable Use / Change to monitor, mitigate and evaluate the impacts of tourism
in the National Parks. Proposed development projects within and around the
National Parks must also be subjected to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
procedures.
LOW IMPACT TOURISM-ECOTOURISM
This has been referred as the ecosystem friendly type
of tourism unlike the earlier mass tourism that degraded the most of country's
natural resources - wildlife and its habitat. In TANZANIA this type of
Tourism is widely practiced as it covers most aspects of nature or scenery
appreciation and there has been so many slogans such " Leave only finger
Prints", "Until you arrived the Park was clean" etc to safeguard the wildlife
habitat - the major product in tourism in Tanzania.
