Abstract
The development of tourism in Tanzania up to the mid-1970s is assessed from the viewpoint of its economic consequences and whether it was compatible with socialist development in an underdeveloped country. The shift from regional to international tourism involved an expansion of investment and foreign exchange earnings, mainly through a program of state sector operations, domestically financed. However, government investments were met by accumulating losses and the increase in revenues by a declining terms of trade. The limitations of a high cost international tourism that excluded domestic tourism, and precluded foreign investment are shown. It is questioned whether the expansion of tourism in Tanzania was too extensive in the circumstances.
