Tourism as a positive influence Tourism as a negative influence

Basic need poverty Population with access to safe drinking water (scarce resource that will become more valuable with more Travellers)

School net enrollments (esp. secondary education)

Beach erosion (if not properly managed by hotels)

Cellphone owners Environmental pollution (if no sustainable waste management system is implemented)

Fish population (although danger of overfishing to supply hotels)

Renewable energy sources

Infrastructure

Traditional fuel use

Significant indicators of sustainability that could be affected by tourism

Based on the indicator analyses the current sustainability of Pemba is about 60% with significant issues

77

Especially the common Traveller area, the protected Ngezi forest has made smart changes that not only preserve the environment but also impact social and economic factors positively

• Only allowing guided tours allows Traveller education while at the same time having a reason to charge fees and avoid Traveller environmental impact through wrongful behavior in the forest

• Price discrimination policies enable local communities to use the forest while at the same time charging reasonable but higher fees for non-locals and foreigner.

Adaptions to old systems have made significant progress
