The Zambian Government has identified tourism along with agriculture, mining and manufacturing as the most important sectors for economic development in its various planning documents, including the 2007 Fifth National Development Plan (FNDP). This report is organized into three sections: chapters two and three characterize the tourism industry and the economic impact of nature tourists. Using a variety of sources of information, the two chapters profile the tourism industry in Zambia and analyze the barriers to growth. The chapter four investigates the welfare of communities living in game management area (GMAs) around national parks. These communities are the most likely to suffer from wildlife conflicts and/or benefit from economic activities in and around the parks. A household survey compares the welfare of communities living in GMAs with ordinary rural communities. The chapter five analyzes the performance of Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) during its first five year of existence, and explores the current state of the management of the wildlife estate and its potential to contribute to economic growth through tourism.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOMMODATION UNITSACTION PLANADVENTURE ACTIVITIESADVENTURE TOURISMAIRSTRIPSANIMALSANNUAL MIGRATIONANTELOPESAPPROACH TO TOURISMBATSBIODIVERSITYBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIRDBUSINESS CLIMATEBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS LICENSINGCAMPSCITIESCOASTAL RESOURCESCOMMERCIALIZATIONCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGECONSERVATIONCONSERVATION AREACONSERVATION AREASCONSERVATION INTERNATIONALCONTINGENT VALUATIONCONTINGENT VALUATION METHODSCOUNTRY OF ORIGINCULTURAL TOURISMDESTINATION MARKETINGDESTINATIONSDETERMINANTDIRECTOR OF TOURISMDOMESTIC TOURISMECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC IMPACT OF TOURISMECONOMIC VALUEECOSYSTEMECOSYSTEM SERVICESELEPHANTENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESSFISHFISHINGFLIESFOREIGN TRAVELFRUIT BATSGAME MANAGEMENT AREAGAME RESERVESGLOBAL TOURISMGRASSLANDSHABITATHABITAT DESTRUCTIONHOLIDAYSHOTELHUNTERSHUNTINGIMPACT OF TOURISMINTERNATIONAL TOURISMINTERNATIONAL TOURISTINTERNATIONAL TOURIST ARRIVALSINTERNATIONAL TOURISTSINTERNATIONAL VISITORSISSUESLAKELAKESLAND ACQUISITIONLARGE MAMMALSLEISURELIONLIONSLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL TOURISMMAMMALSMIDDLE EASTMINISTRY OF TOURISMMONTANE AREASNATIONAL PARKNATIONAL PARK SYSTEMNATIONAL PARKSNATIONAL TOURISMNATIONAL TOURIST BOARDNATURAL ASSETSNATURAL ATTRACTIONNATURAL ATTRACTIONSNATURAL HABITATSNATURAL HERITAGENATURAL RESOURCESNATURALISTSNATURENATURE TOURISMNEGATIVE IMPACTSNEW HOTELSPACKAGE TOURPASSENGERSPLAINSPOLICEPREDATORSPROMOTION OF TOURISMPROTECTED AREASRANCHESREGIONAL TOURISMREMOTE AREASRIVER SYSTEMSROADSSAFARISAFARI OPERATORSSAFARISSECURITY ISSUESSERVICE INDUSTRIESSIGHTINGSSOCIAL BENEFITSSOUTH AMERICASTAKEHOLDERSSUB-SAHARAN AFRICASUPPLIERSSUPPLY CHAINSUSTAINABILITYSWAMPSTIGERTOUR OPERATORTOUR OPERATORSTOURISMTOURISM ACTIVITIESTOURISM ASSETTOURISM ASSETSTOURISM BUSINESSTOURISM COUNCILTOURISM DATATOURISM DEMANDTOURISM DESTINATIONSTOURISM DEVELOPMENTTOURISM ENTERPRISESTOURISM FACILITIESTOURISM GROWTHTOURISM INDUSTRYTOURISM INFRASTRUCTURETOURISM INVESTMENTTOURISM INVESTMENTSTOURISM INVESTORSTOURISM MARKETTOURISM MARKETINGTOURISM MASTER PLANTOURISM OPERATIONSTOURISM OPERATORSTOURISM PLANNINGTOURISM POLICIESTOURISM PRODUCTTOURISM PRODUCTSTOURISM RECEIPTSTOURISM REVENUETOURISM SECTORTOURISM SERVICETOURISM SERVICESTOURISM STRATEGYTOURISTTOURIST ACCOMMODATIONTOURIST AREASTOURIST ARRIVALSTOURIST BOARDTOURIST LODGESTOURISTSTOURISTS GROUPSTOURSTRADITIONAL CEREMONIESTRAVEL AGENTSTRAVELERSTREETRIPUSE OF WILDLIFEVARIETYVISITORVISITOR ARRIVALSVISITORSWATERSHEDWATERSHED PROTECTIONWHITE RHINOWILDERNESSWILDLIFEWILDLIFE AUTHORITYWILDLIFE CONSERVATIONWILDLIFE HABITATWILDLIFE PRODUCTWILDLIFE SERVICEWILDLIFE TOURISMWILLINGNESS TO PAYWORLD TOURISMWORLD TOURISM ORGANIZATIONWorld Bank10.1596/7553
