The contribution of tourism industry in terms of GDP is about 17%. Overall the tourism sector directly employ around 600,000 people and up to 2 million people indirectly (URT, 2015). By 2025, Tanzania’s tourism sector is expected to grow at a rate of 6.2% per annum, against an expected world average growth of 3.7% (WTTC, 2015).
