ABSTRACT

Community participation in any destinations is regarded as an important tool for successful tourism development. It is agreed that active community participation in the decision making process will benefit local communities. This research discusses the participation in tourism activities of local communities of Kalenga village in Iringa region with the objectives of identifying the tourism activities conducted in Kalenga village, analyzing local community awareness and perception on tourism activities, to determine the number of employed community members in tourism industry and to analyze reasons of participating or not participating in tourism activities. The data was collected through questionnaires and structured interview methods. The results shows that the level of community participation in tourism activities is poor due to the fact that; poverty of local community, participating on other economic activities, low level of education about tourism industry and poor support of government. Normally tourism development goes hand in hand with the local community participation so the efforts from government and entire local community need to be done in to ensure the active participation of local community and accelerate the development of tourism activities to the village.
