ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF MASS TOURISM IN KENYA
(complete with loads of LINKS)
START HERE: More
tourists
Tourist stay in hotels and
spend money on local
cafés and shops (more
income for local
businesses).
Money earned by locals
mean they can buy food and
other necessities
Increase demand for goods and
services in agriculture, drinks,
transport, entertainment, textiles
and crafts.
More money for improving
infrastructure and facilities for
locals and tourists.
Their increased wages mean
more taxes and money for
the government
So people NOT directly
involved in tourism industry
also make more money
(Money can be used to help
protect and improve the
ENVIRONMENT too)
