Linkage to the Project Priority Demonstration :
1B2: Development of eco-tourism to alleviate poverty, through sustainable alternative livelihoods and
generate revenues for conservation of biodiversity and the benefit of the local community. It is to be applied to three key locations in Tanzania to
demonstrate in particular:
Strengthening physical planning and institutional co-ordination mechanisms for coastal tourism
Catalysing community involvement and partnerships for ecotourism ventures and
environmental management
Strengthening existing policy, legislation and institutional arrangements for better
environmental regulation of the tourism industry
Catalysing voluntary environmental regulation by the tourism industry
The project will achieve this through the following activities:
Basic activities at the coastal area level on policies, regulations and capacity building:
Specify the existing guidelines, strategies and regulations, in the framework of the National
Tourism Policy, and Tourism Master Plan for coastal tourism and ecotourism
• Establish a Sustainable Coastal Tourism Research, Resource and Training Centre
• Set up a grant scheme for capacity building to support existing initiatives
• Extend the projects on sensitivity maps (using GIS) on tourism use to the entire Tanzanian
coast
• Monitoring programme for tourist sites using indicators (WTO methodology)
• Review and strengthen coordination mechanisms for tourism development at different levels
• Revise employment qualification requirements and taxation system
• Review pricing policy for user fees in the Marine Parks and Reserves
• Develop a policy for Disaster Preparedness and Management, with the tourism sector fully
integrated
•

Alternative livelihoods, poverty alleviation and revenue generation for conservation
(ecotourism):
• Develop and implement models for
Institutional structures and mechanisms for destination level coordination, planning
and management of tourism development and operations.
