Abstract

This paper is to explore sustainability of national parks and game reserves in Kenya. Objectives are to examine the responsibility of tourism stakeholders in sustainability of national parks and game reserves during the Covid-19; explore the benefit and cost of tourism of parks and game reserves during the Covid-19; and explore the mitigating measures by tourism stakeholders on issues affecting wildlife in parks and game reserves during the Covid-19 pandemic. The methodology is based on a literature review method by deploying a systematic literature review. The findings indicated that as much as tourism is globally seen as an income generator and foreign exchange earner but was worst hit by the pandemic. If the effects of the pandemic are not mitigated early, then the effects are harmful to the resources and environment. Tourism stakeholders should ensure posterity and fame of parks and game reserves are sustained. This paper provides information on the responsibilities of tourism stakeholders in the sustainability of parks and game reserves in Kenya as a tourism destination. The outcome of this paper implies that the tourism stakeholders may look into ways of mitigating the negative effects of tourism in the Covid-19 to ensure sustainability in the post- Covid -19 pandemic.

Abstract

Past scholars noted that one of the challenges is education in relation to tourism particularly the aspects of training and curriculum design. Existing literature has explored challenges of customer services education in tourism and suggest measures such as retraining and improving the curricula as a remedy to match the skills needed in the post pandemic for the hospitality and tourism industry. Conversely, there is less attention on other forms of tourism like astro-tourism. Hence, this paper’s aim is to expand literature on education in tourism with the main objective of exploring astro-tourism and education in tourism. Guided by the behaviorist learning theory, the specific objective is to explore the forms of astro-tourism and training programs from the perspective of Kenya and Tanzania. A systematic literature review supplemented by integrative literature review is deployed as a research methodology. A total of 16 papers from journals, conferences and newsflash deemed sufficient for descriptive statistics and literature analysis to avail findings. The findings indicate that although various forms of astro-tourism exist, these are not fully complemented with training programs. Very few public institutions or private enterprises offer astro-tourism programs like astro tour guide. The findings suggest that both higher education institutions and the private sector should continue promoting tourism education that includes training programs aligned with the growing trends in astro-tourism.

Abstract

The ‘Big Five’ are considered to be the Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Buffalo and Elephant which have become synonymous with Africa’s safaris in the national parks. Guided by the Butler’s TALC model, this paper aims to compare national parks development focusing on the ‘Big Nine’ in Kenya and Tanzania. Specifically, this paper explores national parks conservation and management in relation to the ‘Big Nine’. The method used is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR), whereby 16 journal articles were found to be relevant for the study were analyzed. The finding shows that for the future generations, the ‘Big Five’ requires protection and conservation in the national parks, other wild animals like Zebras and Warthogs included. The outcome of this paper advocates for other diverse wild animals in Kenya and Tanzania that could fascinate tourists be included in the “Big Five” to have either the ‘Big Seven’ or ‘Big Nine’. Future studies may opt for quantitative and qualitative approaches as mixed methods to further explore national parks and wild animals in Kenya and Tanzania as well as other African countries in the post-colonial era.
