Sustainable Tourism Through Community Based Approach in Maasai Mara

This book looks at the impact that sustainable tourism has had and may have on the Narok county of the national park of the Maasai Mara Kenya. The purpose was to generalize from a set of sample interviews and make inferences on the participation of local communities and the conservation authorities in organizing and implementing the policies needed for tourism sustainability. In this way the study reported on in this paper could help to enhance sustainable tourism through policy planning and implementation. The study employed correlation analysis to determine how sustainable tourism is enhanced through such measures. The study results show that to make communities conscious enough of the impacts of tourism and understand their effects governments should design and to operate educational programs and raise sensitivity which in turn will make communities question the development of sustainable tourism. To obtain this valuable outcome the development and implementation of guidelines in all categories of governance is required.
