Cultural tour in Tanzania

Tanzania had to define its cultural tourism product to be more precise. In Tanzania context however, cultural tourism adopts a community based tourism approach in which the people are directly involved in designing, organizing tours and showing tourists aspects of their lives in the area they live in. While economic benefit is delivered from this activity, some cross cultural exchange between visitors and the local people is also developed. Operated through the criteria of ownership of the activities undertaken and equitable distribution of the income generated are underlying factors for the programme.
