Purpose

Globally, poverty has been a persistent problem despite decades of unprecedented growth. The purpose of this paper is to deliberate on a sustainable livelihoods and poverty eradication approach in an African context.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper aims to bridge the gaps in poverty eradication strategies in East Africa by examining recent literature on livelihoods approaches and poverty eradication approaches.

Findings

Safari tourism is one way of connecting poor communities in Kenya to the tourism industry. The development of community conservancies in Kenya presents yet more opportunities for communities to be integrated with the sector. The Africanization of the tourism sector in Kenya is a priority, as communities embrace tourism and poverty eradication measures.

Practical implications

There is a need for the Safari tourism sector to integrate the local community’s indigenous knowledge systems, community social capital and the community’s natural capital with tourism product development and diversification.

Originality/value

The paper draws on applied research and technical analysis of the unique opportunities for enhancing sustainable poverty eradication through the tourism sector in East Africa and, more particularly, a Kenyan context.

野生动物园旅游及其在东非可持续消除贫困中的作用：以肯尼亚为例

目的

在全球范围内，尽管数十年来出现了前所未有的增长，但贫困一直是一个长期存在的问题。本文旨在探讨在非洲背景下可持续生计和消除贫困的方法。

设计/方法/方法

本文旨在通过审查有关生计方法和消除贫困方法的最新文献，弥合东非消除贫困战略的差距。

发现

野生动物园旅游是将肯尼亚贫困社区与旅游业联系起来的一种方式。肯尼亚社区保护区的发展为社区融入该部门提供了更多机会。肯尼亚旅游业的非洲化是一个优先事项，因为社区接受了旅游业和消除贫困的措施。

实际影响

Safari 旅游部门需要将当地社区的土著知识体系、社区社会资本和社区的自然资本与旅游产品开发和多样化相结合。

原创性/价值

该论文借鉴了对通过东非旅游业，尤其是肯尼亚背景加强可持续消除贫困的独特机会的应用研究和技术分析。
