Advantages MASS TOURISM in Kenya
Slide 14
Kenya economy depends massively on mass tourism, mainly because
of the foreign exchange from foreign industries. ECONOMIC BENEFITS
The multiplier effect it has throughout the country enables them to
improve their infrastructure as well as giving the local people a
wider variety of jobs: More tourists Increase demand for goods and
services in agriculture, drinks, transport, entertainment, textiles
and crafts. Tourist stay in hotels and spend money on local cafs
and shops (more income for local businesses). Money earned by
locals mean they can buy food and other necessities More money for
improving infrastructure to attract more tourists. Tourism is both
directly and indirectly responsible for half a million jobs in
Kenya!
Slide 15
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS The mass tourism helps to increase
awareness of the need for conservation of wildlife, landscape
features and vegetation as well as the preservation of ancient
monuments. The income from tourism and entrance fees can be used
for management, conservation and repairs of the area.

Disadvantage MASS TOURISM in Kenya
Slide 17
ECONOMIC Due to mass tourism some locals, particularly farmers
and fishermen may lose their livelihoods. Kenyas economy may not
remain stable because certain areas get less popular as visitor
numbers goes up and down. In 2001 Kenya had 1.05 million visitors,
but this number dropped massively to under 0.4 million in 2002. The
country or region might gain a small percentage of the total
tourist spend as bigger international companies are established in
popular areas. Many of the jobs are seasonal and poorly paid,
unskilled and of low status. The high-earning jobs (for example
jobs that require language skills such as guides etc) may often go
to outsiders.
Slide 18
ENVIRONMENTAL As number visitors increases there is a demand
for better infrastructure. That, as a result, can lead to
destruction of environments and loss of habitats. Rural places
where locals had peace and quiet are replaced by urban activity and
noise. Noise and air pollution is cause by more cars and other
transports and pollution from litter and untreated waste goes into
the rivers and seas. There are also issues such as divers damaging
coral reefs. Some tourists even take pieces of coral as souvenirs.
There is pressure on frequently visited landscapes from footpath
erosion as well drives leaving the main tracks to get a closer look
at the animals. Another problem is disturbance of wildlife in
native environments.
