Question

• What are the reasons for the rapid growth of tourism in the tropical grassland areas (savannas)?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Tourism brings income to Kenya and gives tourists a greater understanding of the area's animals and plants. The Serengeti is especially popular for safari holidays, which give tourists a chance to observe the annual migration of the wildebeest and zebra.

Tourism can also have negative impacts on the area. These need to be managed carefully to ensure that the natural environment isn't damaged for future generations.

Positive impacts of tourism

Conservation. Tourism has supplied the economic incentive to set up national parks and conservation areas which protect wildlife.

Employment. Tourism has generated jobs, improving the living standards for local communities.
