Cultural tourism in Tanzania started as a program to help rural
communities enjoy the benefit of tourism sector in which they
are a part of.
-
The program is the effort and initiatives of the Dutch
Development organization know as SNV which has been
directly involved in Tanzania's community development
programs, especially in the rural areas.
-
The main goal is that rural communities should directly benefit
from tourists who visit their areas. Cultural tourism
allows local people such as Maasai, Pare, Sambaa,
Wa-Arusha, Gogo, Nyakyusa and Wazaramo to offer tours that
show their culture, their sacred places of worship,
economic activities, for example, farming, pastoralism and
fishing.
-
The income generated is used by local people for specific
development programmes , such as, the building of dispensaries,
schools and cattle dip sites. Some of the places dedicated to
show the country's fascinating culture, which vary considerably
are: Mkuru
and Ng'ires Village.
