A key focus of this paper is focusing on the relationship between sustainable tourism planning and agencies suchasMTENR/ZAWA/NHCC/ZEMA. Under Zambian laws, consents are issued by multiple central governmental departments, regional and local authorities and communities depending on the scope of the consent sought. Consents would be required for all tourism developments mentioned in the previous above section12. However, ascertaining accurate data on tourism-related resource consent applications is highly problematic. While many respondents were able to give precise numbers in relation to resource consent applications and refusals, a significant 13 respondents were not able to provide the data. The main reason given for this is that tourism is not always isolated as a key variable in the database recording process for tourism enterprise concession consents applications. Some developments are not primarily designed for tourism purposes but may produce a tourism spin-off, e.g. development of a winery. In other cases, databases are not set up to be readily searched, data is not inputted into system as ‘tourism’, but as ‘commercial activity’ and in several cases, the detail of activity or data is not even kept. This seems to indicate an inherent problem in the data management of tourism enterprise concession consent applications with regard to tourism, and a technical inability to retrieve useful information that can inform tourism planning at local, regional and national strategic levels. Acknowledging the limitations of the data, the following results give a broad indication of the workings of the ZAWA process in relation to tourism development within local communities/ councils. Twenty four respondents representing 56% had dealt with tourism enterprise concession consent applications since 2010. The highest number of applications dealt with by one authority was 40. Ten authorities had dealt with between 1 and 10 applications, six between 11 and 20 applications, five between 21 and 30 applications, and three had dealt with 31 or more applications. While the largest number of applications were dealt with by District Councils, participants in the process held the view that all of these tourism programmes are developed by a monoactor form of centralised administration, generally overlooking the knowledge, skills and goals of local tourism organisations, both public and private, 50% of the CBNRM accounted for 37% of tourism enterprise concession which still needed ZAWA approval, indicating a substantial number of applications within a small number of local communities taking the led role in resource management. Some 76% of

Impacts of Tourism in Swanage Tourism has the potential to create impacts on the environment and communities that it relies on to accommodate visitors. Its impacts are mitigated by the long history of tourism activity. Communities have become used to tourism activity, and management measures to limit some areas of environmental damage have been implemented. Nevertheless, some impacts are far ranging, and they are set out below: * Inappropriate Development An increase in visitors can lead to pressure for new developments to serve and capitilise on their needs, eg. Caravan parks, visitor centres, cafes, signs, car parks, and additional accommodation.

In his book Politicians and Poachers, Charles Gibson analyzes the origins and effects of governmental “institutions” on Zambian wildlife policy. Keeping in mind his definition of what an institution is- it’s origins, what it does, and what it represents- one can apply his analysis to the nature of tourism. When so much of the tourist industry relies on what is seen as “authentic” and how it is determined, it is important to focus on how various institutions shape Western and local thought.

It is a well-noted fact that tourists from the developed world, or rich western nations, are in favour of visiting unspoilt natural environments and places steeped in tradition. However, Lea (1988) regards such attractions as being a sign of underdevelopment and rarely tolerated by the host nations just because they meet with foreign approval of visitors. Instead, it is the priority of the respective governments to raise living standards to acceptable levels, which means modernisation and the implementation of various infrastructures. Nevertheless, if administered effectively mass tourism could provide a form of sustainable development by meeting the needs of the present without compromising those of the future.
