PARK FEE CHANGES FROM 1ST JULY 2013 TO 30TH JUNE 2015 ________________________________________________

1.0 BACKGROUND The Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) Tariffs were previously revised for three times; in January 2000, July 2004 and July 2006. The current revisions are done to accommodate new tourism products and operational costs. The new tariffs will be effective from 1st July 2013 as tour operators need a prior notice of at least one year before enforcement. Tariffs would be revised every two years. The park entry fee has been renamed as conservation fee. 2.0 MAJOR REASONS FOR PARK FEE CHANGES 1) To cater for the general increase in price levels of most commodities and services that has continued to escalate hence increasing operational costs for the organization. Improve tourism facilities and infrastructure such as roads, bridges and airstrips, to cater for increased number of visitors and diversify tourism activities in order to provide outstanding visitor experience. Improvement of staff incentives and packages to cope with increased cost of living.

Justification for changes Sport fishing as an activity does not contradict National Parks Policies; which emphasizes the non consumptive use of resources. This is due to the fact that the catch and release method is the one that is being practiced. This method is internationally known to have insignificant adverse impacts to fish and the environment in general. In addition to that, TANAPA monitors and controls the type of equipment used in the sport fishing and ensures that the caught fish is released back into water. Sport fishing Fees Park Name
