Tourism and leisure activities are attracted to areas of great environmental beauty. But the tourist industry and its related activities can do harm, even threatening destruction of the attraction itself unless carefully managed.
Safari was filmed in Kenya. The written material which accompanies it, provides a detailed economic study and geographical overview of Kenya. The DVD clips and activities explore the impact of tourism on the ecosystem of a savanna grassland, and examine the social and economic issues surrounding the safari industry.
Topics covered include:
- safari parks
- the tourist trail (hotels, balloons, mini buses)
- people of the Masai Mara
- Mombassa and coastal developments
- marine tours and the coastal reef
The conflicting demands of tourism and conservation are explored in a way that can be easily developed into an examination of the tourism industry of other countries.
