The efficacy of tourism taxation and infrastructure development as important ways to amplify the beneficial impact of tourism is demonstrated. In a destination country such as Tanzania, tourism can be broadly defined to include the provision of goods and services necessary to maintain tourists, e.. Tanzania Tours Tourism impacts on the economy through touristsÂ’ expenditure on different (mostly non-traded) goods and services (Hazari and Sgro, 1995:243). Trends in the performance and growth of tourism in Tanzania (see Curry, 1986; Wade et al, 2001) show that for the last decade, tourism has grown to be an important sector in Tanzania. 1. Tanzania Tour This paper employs a CGE analysis to demonstrate the potential contribution of tourism for economic growth in Tanzania using a SAM for 1992.

The findings indicate that tourism expansion has substantial impact on the economy as shown by increases in real GDP, total welfare and exports. transport, accommodation and restaurants. Tanzania Tours Firstly, astourism expansion is associated with positive and negative impacts, is the net effect positive or negative? Secondly, in what way can the positive effects be maximised and the negative effects be. Tourism earnings as a share of GDP increased significantly, from about 1% in the 1986-92 period to over 6% in the 1993-98 period; one of the highest in SSA countries (see WTO, various years). INTRODUCTIONIn most developing countries endowed with significant tourist attractions, tourism has emerged as a new impetus for economic growth given its ability to generate foreign exchange and employment. Tanzania Safaris As a share of total exports, tourism earnings increased from 15% in the 1980s to over 40% in the 1990s, becoming the second largest foreign exchange earner after agriculture. Improvement of infrastructure appreciably amplifies the effects of tourism expansion and tourism taxation has an unambiguously favourable impact on tax revenue and welfare.

A concise analysis of the economic impact of tourism for a developing country is important to guide the policy intended to develop tourism and augment its benefit on the economy (see Dwyer and Forsyth, 1993). African Safari Tanzania g. The country is endowed with various natural resources that form a mainstay of tourist attractions; almost a third of the land area is allocated to natural parks. Although much literature exists to demonstrate the importance of tourism as a foreign exchange earner, little is known about how tourism expansion affects the economy of a developing country (LDC). Tanzania Tour However,the essence of economic impact of tourism is about the potential structural changes that tourism expansion imparts on the destination economy, which eventually lead to two problems. Tanzania is an interesting case for analysis. In the specific case of Tanzania, both Curry (1986) and Kweka et al (2001) used IO analysis to demonstrate economic significance of tourism.
