Assessing local attitudes towards tourism and conservation at Bwindi Impenetrable national park, Uganda
REFNo: SS302ES
This master’s research aims to investigate if park tourism can improve attitudes of residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises towards protected area conservation, by delivering economic development; using Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP) in Uganda as a case study.
The research objectives are:
• Measure expectations of residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises based on their experiences of park tourism.
• Evaluating if recent interventions to enhance small-scale tourism enterprises have increased economic benefits from park tourism and if this has improved attitudes towards PA conservation.
• Assess the sustainability of these interventions.
The research hypothesis is: ‘Local attitudes towards protected area conservation improve when residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises receive benefits from park tourism’.
And the research questions I will ask to test this hypothesis & achieve the aim of this project are:
• What expectations do residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises have of park tourism?
• Do local attitudes towards protected area conservation improve when residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises receive benefits from tourism?
• Do people feel they are sufficiently trained to continue without further interventions?
