The primary objective of the survey was to collect up-to-date tourist expenditure information for use in the ‘’Tourist Expenditure Model” developed in 2001. The 2012 survey’s results have indicated that there has been an improved performance of the tourism industry, evidenced by a significant increase in earnings from international visitors. Most of the visitors were impressed by Tanzania as one of the unique quality destinations, with friendly people and wonderful scenery. However, a number of visitors indicated the need for further improvement of the infrastructure particularly, roads between national parks and quality of services in some of the hotels.
