Resumo: | This paper seeks to understand the perceptions of the local community in Voi sub-county on tourism and the conservation efforts in Tsavo National Park. Social Exchange Theory underpinned the theoretical framework of this study. Primary data were collected from the local community using questionnaire surveys conducted with the residents, and the data was analyzed. Results highlight that the community finds tourism in Tsavo National Park beneficial and would prefer increased tourism activities. The local community tends to recognize that nature, culture, and the political environment influence conservation. The study conclusively shows community support for the conservation efforts in Tsavo National Park. Results indicate that Social Exchange Theory can explain Voi residents' perceptions of tourism and conservation in Tsavo National Park. This study is expected to provide practical ways for concerned authorities to make future policies and strategies that relate to how local communities view tourism and conservation. |
