Abstract

Solid waste generation from the hospitality industry poses a significant global sustainability challenge for tourist destinations, including Zanzibar. The existing literature presents conflicting findings on the internal factors influencing hotels' adoption of sustainable solid waste management (SSWM) practices. Also, the majority of studies focus on broader environmental sustainability, neglecting SSWM. This study addresses this gap by investigating the internal factors affecting SSWM adoption in Zanzibar hotels, utilizing organizational theory as a lens. The study employed a qualitative multiple-case design, involving 14 hotels and 45 respondents recruited through snowball and purposive sampling. Primary data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document reviews, and were analysed thematically using MAXQDA software. The study found that organizational learning, leadership support, resources, and structure significantly influence SSWM practices in five out of 14 hotels. Additionally, employee motivation does not impact SSWM adoption in these hotels. Interviews with managers and department leaders revealed two unexpected factors: organizational adaptability and employee teamwork as key factors in SSWM adoption. The majority of three- to four-star hotels involved in this study struggled to implement sustainable waste management due to inadequate leadership support, limited organizational learning, insufficient resources, and the absence of a clear waste management policy and expertise. This study advances existing knowledge by providing empirical evidence of the importance of organizational structure and leadership support in advancing sustainable waste management practices within the hospitality industry.

Abstract

Despite Tanzania’s strong policy and legal frameworks for sustainable tourism and community-based conservation, little is known about how governance decisions affect tourism resource conservation. This study examines how political economy dynamics shape these decisions using qualitative methods, including interviews, focus groups, and document review across Tanzania’s four tourism circuits. Findings reveal highly centralized governance with limited local fiscal and decision-making autonomy, constraining community participation and adaptive management. Political incentives and revenue-driven performance targets prioritize short-term economic gains over long-term ecological sustainability. Power asymmetries favor investors and central authorities, resulting in inequitable benefit-sharing and reduced local support, while weak transparency and limited institutional capacity undermine trust in governance mechanisms such as Wildlife Management Areas. Effective conservation requires aligning political incentives with ecological goals, strengthening local capacity, and fostering meaningful community participation. Limitations include qualitative focus and partial coverage. Future research should examine long-term governance impacts, tourism taxation, and regional comparative analyses to identify best practices in sustainable tourism governance.
