Tourism is an ever-growing industry in the world; it is particularly popular in places of cultural, historical, and natural significance. The diverse countries of Sub-Saharan Africa constitute one such area. Sub-Saharan Africa's tourism sector has been substantially increasing over the last few decades, so questions must be posed in order to understand the impact of the drastic contrasts and interactions between the tourists of the developed world and the local destination of the developing world. A tremendous amount of research has been done pertaining to social, economic, and global impacts of tourists within both developed and developing countries. However, there has not been an ample amount of questions posed relating to how the tourists feel that they influence the local environment of a destination. With nature-based tourism as the primary draw for tourists to Sub-Saharan African countries, it is crucial to understand what role travelers are playing within the destination. This research explores significant perceptions of the tourists that visit such areas within Tanzania through web-based surveys of both international tourists as well as the local tour operators.
