| Summary: | Tourism development is managed by different institutional frameworks that often reflect the political ideology of the country concerned. The various institutional frameworks that have
governed the tourism sector in Zimbabwe since 1980 have had both positive and negative impact on the development of the sector. Desk research and key respondent interviews were
used as methods for gathering data for the study. Findings from the study indicated that periodic institutional framework changes retarded the growth of the sector due to lack clarity on institutional functions and responsibilities. The study further indicates that tourism growth was closely linked to political and economic developments in the country. It is recommended that the government streamlines the current institutional frameworks governing the tourism sector so that there is role clarity and shared vision for the long term development of the sector. |
