Serengeti National Park General Management Plan D.3 and Table D.4 above. The needed systems for auditing water and fuelwood supply and usage will also be developed under this action (see also Action 2.2.2). Action 2.1.2: Implement Limits of Acceptable Use for accommodation in the High and Low Use Zones The Limits of Acceptable Use (LAU) for accommodation in this GMP define the future desired conditions as regards facility development rather than the maximum amount of use and development the Park can tolerate. Table D.5 below defines the LAU for accommodation in the High and Low Use Zones. High Use Zone LAU For the High Use Zone, the LAU for accommodation are set for the existing and proposed bed capacities, with only a small increase on the existing bed capacities permitted. However, if subsequent Action Plans under this GMP develop sufficient SENAPA facilities, i.e. roads and tourism sinks, then there may be limited scope for adding some additional bed capacity at existing concessions within the Zone. In addition, the option of converting some regular Special Campsites to other type of Special Campsites will be considered (see Action 4.1.4), but this will not affect the overall bed capacity for the zone. Low Use Zone LAU For the Low Use Zone, the LAU for accommodation is also set for the existing and proposed bed capacities, as listed in Table D.5 below. There is still potential to increase the bed capacity within areas of this zone, whilst still maintaining the low use characteristics. Permanent Tented Camps are proposed in the northern Low Use block around Wogakuria as well as south of the Grumeti River at Musabi. New Special Campsites are proposed in more remote areas of this zone. The proposal for introducing a new category of Premium Campsites is addressed under Action 4.1.4. Action 2.1.3: Sensitise and encourage private tour operators and investors to provide accommodation to Tanzanian citizens at affordable rates During the period of this GMP, SENAPA will encourage and support private sector investors and tour operators to develop ways to make visiting the Park by Tanzanian citizens affordable and in line with the SENAPA Tourism Programme Strategy of promoting domestic tourism. This may involve tour operators providing accommodation at certain times of the year at reduced and affordable rates for local citizens. Action 2.1.4: Implement revised system for Special Campsite management The current environmental condition of many of the Special Campsites is unsatisfactory, with many groups leaving their rubbish and not maintaining the hygiene or sanitation of the sites. To establish and maintain high environmental standards, SENAPA management will regularly check and review the Special Campsites. If environmental standards are not maintained, SENAPA will take appropriate action. Management responses that will be considered for implementation by this GMP will include on-the-spot fining for offending operators and the closing of Special Campsites that require rehabilitation. Action 2.1.5: Review existing concession arrangements At present it is felt that the existing concession arrangements do not contribute sufficiently to SENAPA. Currently, it is estimated that concessions throughout SENAPA contribute only about 3% to SENAPA overall income. This is an issue that will be reviewed as part of the 62
wider TANAPA corporate review of park and concession fees. D. Tourism Management Programme 63
