The changing contribution of different forms of tourism to local livelihoods during a period of crisis: a case study of Southern Kenya – Caroline Abunge

About

Caroline Abunge’s presenation on the effects of the tourism slump. She concludes that:

  • tourism in the area has suffered due to the terrorism crisis,
  • Kenyan citizens have continued to visit the area – they are not put off – may be more resilient but also have lower impact as they spend less
  • coping strategy is limited – the number and type of occupations started was less than those that were stopped altogether
