dc.description.abstract | Zanzibar is an island on the coast of Tanzania in Africa. Because of the unique location and culture background, Zanzibar in many aspects is totally different from developed countries. Nowadays, as tourism tends to be increasingly popular and the natural environment of Zanzibar is rich and unique, more and more visitors travel to Zanzibar. It results in the constant increasing profits from tourism in Zanzibar. The situation seems to be positive for local development, but it has led to a series of problems and potentially negative impact as well. For example, the GDP growth rates of hotels and restaurants fluctuated enormously from 2006 to 2010, respectively 9.2, 4.5, -0.5, 5.0 and 3.0, because of the economic crisis (Zanzibar Statistical Abstract, 2010). Therefore, resilience strategies are crucial in Zanzibar based on the current situation as well as the possible future problems. This essay tries to explain resilience strategies in the context of Zanzibar. | |
