Overview

It is widely accepted that nature-based tourism can enhance local peoples' livelihoods in destinations by bringing social, economic, and environmental benefits. This book's findings are crucial in understanding such a role. Based on fieldwork projects between 2019 and 2022 in communities near the Kilimanjaro and Ruaha National Parks and among labour providers to eco-tourists, the book, despite highlighting tourism's benefits, illuminates the challenges of injustice, hindering meaningful socio-economic returns from tourism. In times of a global trend to fight against injustice, much-needed justice cannot happen as an automatic act without ethically and morally grounded actions, which should be everyone's day-to-day mission.This book advances scholarships in Geography and Tourism by suggesting a CIDA model consisting of acts of Conversion (turning to fundamental ethical principles), Inculcation (empowering individuals), Development of (infrastructures) and Adjusting (unbalanced policies). If authentic actions become a societal life culture; they may uplift the powerless, voiceless, and least-heard individuals, whose services indispensably support the existence of tourism industry.
