As such, a study assessing residents‟
perceptions towards the impacts of
tourism development on Victoria Falls has
been visualised. The results of this study
are aimed at helping the tourism industry
stakeholders to understand how the
residents in Victoria Falls perceive the
benefits and disadvantages of tourism,
because of the potential hostile response
to tourists if a balance is not achieved.
The results would also help national
tourism policymakers to support, or to
redefine, policy.
