Sustainable tourism volunteers and interns developing tourism in Africa

Sustainable Tourism Volunteering and Internship

Tourism is an essential part of Tanzania’s national economy. It can potentially bring significant revenues to local people, accounting for over 10% of the nation’s GDP. However, safaris and packages are commonly performed by tour agents in Western countries, meaning only a part of the money comes to Tanzania and supports the local economy. 

Typically, villages around famous National Parks are the poorest of the poor. Art in Tanzania looks to set itself apart from the crowd regarding safari and tour business by offering sustainable travel options; profit from our tours comes to Tanzania and is used to support the Tanzanian economy and community development activities. As an intern in sustainable tourism, you will help develop the tour programs and guide, provide customer service, and market our tours and safaris. In addition, your marketing efforts will give visibility to the sustainable status of our tours and safaris. Our marketing is mainly social media-based, but we also develop networking to reach our target groups worldwide and gain more visibility.

Art in Tanzania, a sustainable tour operation, takes clients to national parks and game reserves such as Serengeti, N’gorongoro, Lake Manyara, Selous, Mikumi, and Ruaha. We also take tourists to Mt. Kilimanjaro and the Zanzibar Islands. In addition, we have developed several one-day trips such as bird watching, sports, music, Zanzibar activities, and Coral Islands trips.
